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 ATS/CRM are top notch!

Overall, our company is very satisfied with Avature. We have very positive end user experiences for all types of users which was our goal. Like any software, there are challenges but the positives outweigh the negatives twofold.

PROS

The ability to customize to meet our specific business needs. You would think with a SaaS you would be limited, but that has not been our experience with Avature. The ability to make updates to fields, workflows, views, portals, forms, templates, etc. is very easy and does not require a technical expert to make the changes.

CONS

One of the challenges we face is keeping up with the enhancements and fully understanding how to use the enhancement in our instance. Some are very self explanatory and the explanations provided by Avature are easy to understand. Others, may require some additional training to determine if the enhancement is truly something you want to apply to your instance.

Reasons for switching to Avature

Talent Acquisition Manager (TAM) was not meeting our needs from a sourcing and applicant tracking system. After careful consideration, our company chose Avature due to the flexibility and versatility of their products.

ATS - Financial Industry

Overall, as long as you have clearly defined requirements and vision of the future-state and have dedicated resources to thoroughly test the application, you might want to give Avature a try. Avature is a powerful engine if you know what you are looking for and if you are able to establish the right way of communicating this to the implementation team.

PROS

Flexibility to solve for "modern" times problems

CONS

Lack of QA from the Avature implementation team Changes being pushed that are not well managed with users. Assigned Account Managers should make sure clients are aware of the change, when it is coming and how that impacts functionality of the solution. Easter-egg hunting syndrome. We do not know we have certain features (and it only takes them a minute to enable it) until we ask or raise a struggle to Avature. Could be a frustrating experience.

New to Avature! It's Dynamic!

Overall, it has been very positive! While we are still in the implementation stage we have been impressed with option to customize just about everything we need to be specific to our use case. We are excited for how this change to Avature will impact our team immediately and in the long term!

PROS

Automation, ability to customize to your business need and configure processes in multiple ways. All of the features and functionality to help you work smarter and not harder.

CONS

We cannot rename certain fields/sections or even folder/records to be a name that works for us. For instance, ideally we would have called a record/folder 'Restaurant' but were not able to do that. Access to certain system permissions without completing a certification class.

Reason for choosing Avature

It is dynamic and 'smart'. High levels of automation and opportunity to streamline our processes and reduce complexity.

Reasons for switching to Avature

We have used iCIMS for 10 years but compared to Avature feels very 'static' and would not meet our business needs as we continue to grow.
