I like that Avaza simplifies issue, time and cost tracking on projects. Integration with third-party applications is an added advantage as it advances capabilities.

I think the software is a great solution for simplifying my business processes, is easy to use and does everything I need and more.

When in doubt or have questions the support team is very helpful and responds quickly. The live demonstration was very useful and helped answer a lot of my questions.

No way to use offline on pc as its an online web based application.

While there are some issues with Avaza, they're all very minor. Simple things like limited viewing options for time sheets, the inability to assign tasks to multiple users, and the limited templates.

Avaza is a very powerful tool for managing timesheet and projects scheduling, it is very easy to add your timesheet on daily or weekly basis. Scheduling is also a very easy and flexible.

I just get confused and get lost with so much reporting options. Also, I think the report should be under every particular subject.

It is a web-based tool, which unfortunately means there is no PC/desktop version to utilize when offline, you need to be online to make use of this.

Also of great help is the reports ability which enables us to quickly generate customized reports from all the data loaded onto the platform.

We have moved to Avaza from the model were we used much more expensive PM software and our own billing software. Super happy about having everyting in one place.

Very good experience so far. It has been very helpful getting the business organized and streamlined.

Furthermore the timesheets are well integrated into the software. The collaboration with internal and external (customers/suppliers) people is well designed and easy to manage.

I like that I can track my projects and tasks, and easily produce an invoice (based on the integrated time tracker) at the end of the month.

What I and my team members liked very much, is intuitive and simple interface. Also, it has many reports and good support.

The timesheet and expense management features are really beneficial in Avaza and the ease of accessing all the data is really great.

Really good on the whole. Love the fact that I can estimate, proj manage and invoice from the same system.

Great structure, affordable price for a small company, they have great customer support and they guide you through with demo call.

Some features are still missing- in exporting and working on projects offline.

It's well priced and easy to use. It's great to have so many team management functions in one place.

Working in the tool is mostly straightforward and easy to figure out without watching a ton of self help videos.

The price point on this software is PERFECT for small startups, the support is included without heavy add on cost and the support is VERY GOOD, quick and EASY to understand.

I've started using Bright Pod since early September and it's been pretty cool. I like how the graphics and structure make it easy to identify things that have to be done this week and next week.

They have very helpful forums and walk you through every step. It is a nice way to track how multiple team members of my department are up do with out micromanaging.

Great for marketing teams, but lacks some integrations.

It's easy to use, provides good analytics and the customer service and openness to suggested improvements is fantastic.

This system is super easy to use, at this point I can add tasks with my eyes closed. I love the support we receive, always an answer almost instantly to any questions we have.

Of interest to consultants and freelancers, a great feature is the ability to track budgeted time, assign clients and attached team lead(s) to each pod.

As the owner of a small, but growing agency, Brightpod's price point and offerings are a great fit for my small business.

Everyone on the team picked up the software quickly and enjoyed the clean layout. It has made  organizing and collaborating much easier.

The scrolling on the pods can be a little annoying if it's a particularly full pod.

The best part is that it integrates with Google Drive and Dropbox making it quick and easy to transfer documents online.

Inability to move task lists into another pod so that all data, files, and comments go with it.

You have a full overview of everything that is going on and good tracking functionalities, great when you're dealing with different time zones and different clients.

I love that there is a collaboration tool like Brightpod that is so focused on marketing project details.

The main thing I don't like the fact that this software has no accompanying app.

If you hate project management systems, this is the one for you.

Easy to use, centralizes all of our projects, shows how much time is spent on each project, easy to track progress of projects.
