Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

We only use a small portion of Avalara's capabilities. I have found that their presence outside of the US makes submitting tickets challenging, and their tracking for cases could use improvement. I have heard many users commend Avalara for their use of the product; our company just doesn't have much of a need.
  • Takes a lot of data and condenses on tax returns
  • They are continually trying to improve
  • The support ticket system being in another country does create difficulty in language barriers at times.
  • Tracking for tickets does not exist once the ticket is closed, so unable to see historical tickets.
  • Price is a high for smaller users.

Do you think Avalara delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Avalara's feature set?

Yes

Did Avalara live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Avalara go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Avalara again?

Yes

  • Ability to trust returns is a high priority
  • Cost is a deterrent to using as many features as desired
  • ecommerce
The extractor was fairly simple to connect.
The report feature in RSB is excellent.
  • Avalara Returns
We have not invested in Avalara's different offerings.
A small business with presence in many states is not quite the market Avalara is geared towards; the cost can be high in this situation. The products are excellent, but they do come with a high cost for us smaller businesses.
