No competition in this space. Avature is in a league of their own!

Willingness to work toward solutions to any situation! Flexible technology that is continuing to invest in development to stay a leader in the HR tech space. The fact that this company is privately held and is investing more in development than in SALES, they are focusing on being the BEST IN CLASS rather than selling the most. Refreshing!

Pros:

Flexibility and ease of configuration for each business strategy and situation in any industry. There are literrally NO limitations. Avature will work with any client to enable their vision.

Cons:

Challenging for Tech Support to respond quickly, as each client's instance is unique and the support specialist has to "learn" each instance before addressing an issue, in most cases.

Reasons for switching to Avature

No CRM and rigid system functionality. Needed a more configurable product for flexibility within business streams to more easily solution for specific requirements.

Avature - A system admin's experience

Avature is perhaps the best ATS out there due to its ability to empower its admins and users with the ability to build and configure their own solutions. As an HRIS admin, the depth of the tools available in Avature has challenged me and allowed me to grow new skills in my career path. Avature has been overall, a great system to manage and our firm has benefited greatly from it. Avature's customer service can be quite good. A special shout out to [sensitive content hidden] who has been an outstanding partner to work with and has always advocated for our firm's positions on several cases and projects. [sensitive content hidden]'s technical understanding as well as his straight to business attitude has made for an unmatched experience with the platform. Thanks [sensitive content hidden] !

Pros:

Avature's configurability and its wide array of tools make it a powerful system for an experienced HRIS admin. In the right hands, with thoughtful implementation and maintenance, Avature could very well be the best ATS out there.

Cons:

Limitations on data reporting and exporting are definately something that set avature apart in not the best way. Such as exporting limits on users and column limits on custom reports. I understand system stability being the concern, but we don't have any other system in our stack with this kind of limitation.

Reasons for switching to Avature

I was not involved in this decision to switch.

Pros:

I love that Avature contains a very configurable environment. Your organizational needs can be designed and met. If there are gaps, Avature listens and works with flexibility to provide solutions.

Cons:

Avature is continued development. They always are working to enhance and make their platform stronger. I don't have much negative to say about the tool because if there are things you wish were different, they are open to hearing what you want/need and will level-set candidly with you on possibilities.

He is always ready to work some magic and show us how he got there so we are able to duplicate his process.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

My role involves creating custom reports and dashboards in Avature. The system’s capabilities are truly impressive! We can map fields from various forms and data sources to develop almost any reporting solution. What I appreciate most about Avature is its ability to be tailored to unique processes, allowing for detailed and specific reporting. I also really appreciate the people who work at Avature.

Cons:

What I find most frustrating about Avature is the lengthy process for adding new enhancements, and sometimes, requests are outright denied.

Reasons for switching to Avature

The business sought a more customizable system to enable the use of the ATS across all its segments.

Avature Platform Manager

Avature, in my opinion, is hands-down the leader of the pack in ATS/CRM software, and I don't think it's all that close. The navigation, configurability, smart design, and product evolution make it the superior recruiting software. There are shortcomings, yes, but you'll find these of some sort with any SaaS vendor or product, and the pros Avature offers heavily outweigh any cons.

Functionality

Pros:

As a long-time administrator and user of Avature, I have always enjoyed the configurability of the core app, from having all the data fields your heart desires to the record layout and dashboards that users access. Its flexibility to your organization's needs, styles, and branding is key. Also key are lists. Avature's lists functionality sets the software apart from any other ATS/CRM. Being able to use virtually any native or custom field as a filter and/or column to find records on a whim -- and being able to save and share an endless number of lists -- ensures each organization can find and act on data in an efficient and complete manner. Massively important.

Cons:

As powerful as lists (and custom reports) are, both suffer performance issues given too much data or too complex of a search. Avature leadership and engineering have taken noticeable steps toward improving this, but much more is needed, and competitors are beginning to leave Avature in the dust in this regard. Avature also has a tendency to over-promise and under-deliver. Big features will be touted as the annual Upfront with an aggressive timeline that proves unrealistic. And when Avature does finally deliver, it often feels half-baked and underwhelming. Examples include Portal Apps Builder, "fuzzy search," Copilot, Sherlock, and smaller features.

Re imagine the possible with Avature.

I think when it comes to using avature as a platform, we are very pleased with the level of support we get from the team. We are enabled to deliver more value to our internal stakeholders, with a level of process that is superior to other solutions available that dont really have the level of flexibility. We are able to screen people successfully, host all of their data in one unified place, have a great experience offered to our internal and external stakeholders in viewing profiles, analyzing data, and applying to jobs which is at the core of our employee journey. All of this with a level of security that gives our internal audit and infosec teams the reassurance needed.

I think the pricing structure being changed so often is not a good experience for customers. If there is something already handled in a way, dont change it to charge differently to old customers.
