Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

Currently, we use Avalara for knowledge base and article reference. We attend multiple webinars to remain compliant regarding Resale Certs and state nexus. We also have the Salesforce application integrator which we are currently navigating thru with our reps. We use them on a daily basis for reference and guidance for compliance issues. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and customer service orientated.

integration was seamless
Overall, Avalara has been customer focuses, a leader in the field, and affordable for companies who strive to remain compliant with ever changing sales tax compliance. Integration was seamless and customer service was better than other companies we have partnered with.
  • CertCapture
CertCapture has allowed for better organization and reference when audited
We have used SOVOS and they are archaic compared to Avalara. Their customer service was sales focused and unable to assist with reporting issues that their reports were populating as results for State figures. Would recommend a switch ASAP to anyone thinking about the two.
We have used SOVOS in the past and would recommend Avalara 100X over as their customer service and knowledge base articles are top notch compared to SOVOS. When you contact SOVOS, their customer service is outdated and not willing to assist the customer with issue resolution whereas Avalara strives to resolve any issues and ensure your experience is fruitful.
