I am a superuser of the product as both a contractor and a client

The team is always willing to listen if there are ways that the product can be improved. They have always been fair and honest in answering questions/concerns and suggestions. I have always felt that they were an extension of my EHS team and support staff even though we are two different companies.

PROS

As a client using the software for my contractor management system: It is a one stop shop for all of our company safety documentation, contracts, certificates of insurance etc. Any documents I need to roll out are simple to add as a new requirement one time versus contacting each contractor individually. As a contractor uploading my data for all my clients: It is very user friendly and easily manageable to connect to new clients and complete required information to be approved. It sends me notifications for expiring items ahead of time so I do not become non-compliant. Annually it gives me 90 days to complete updates from my clients to keep compilant.

CONS

The cost is always a tough subject for contractors and clients. In the end if my clients use this product and I want to do business with them I will make a business decision whether it is in my companies best interest to pay the fee to work for the client or not. The same goes for my contractors as we use this to manage our contractor base, if they want to be an approved contractor this is the product we utilize and they will make that business decision that is best for them as well.

Reason for choosing Avetta

User experience.

Horrifically Expensive For Little Return

Poor customer service, rude and arrogant. You have to do what they say and there is no negotiating with them. I really hate having to call them.

PROS

Not bad platform, fairly easy to use. User interface is well designed.

CONS

Very expensive, prohibitively expensive for small to mid size contractors

Reason for choosing Avetta

I didn't personally, my client switched over so I had to follow suit.

Reasons for switching to Avetta

My client moved to Avetta

Vendor Response

Hi Iain, I am glad to hear the platform is easy to use for you and sorry to hear the other negative experiences you have had. I would be happy to touch base with you and go over ways of making the system easier and different options to save money on the system as well. Feel free to reach me at zbaker@avetta.com

Garbage Product and Garbage Support

PROS

The excessive loading screen animation entertains by cat. Nothing good about Avetta.

CONS

The product is inherently broken for worker management. It takes 5 minutes to make a worker profile change and the application breaks when assigning more than a few workers at a time. The support team runs you in circles and tech support is needed for any data changes more than editing 1 or 2 workers.

Business model = scam, leading to extortion.

Horrible. Rigid forms that require answers they deem as appropriate, which are often not required in our specific industry. Slow, labor consuming, uninformed support calls that often do not reach successful conclusion. No contact information provided to the client connection personnel. Invoices with little detail. Forced "Auto-pay" set up on credit cards without approval. The list goes on and on...

PROS

I do not like anything about it. They obviously spend way too much of our payment making their webpages and "classes" into shiny, appealing marketing material.

CONS

Sales model presents to our customers as a free service, has them require us to comply in the (rigid) portal, then charges us! Our contracts with customers are often fully executed before we discover that we are forced to pay for Avetta, and spend many hours in (rigid) form fill, before our team will be allowed onto the customer's work site.

Reason for choosing Avetta

We did not choose Avetta. They forced their way into our checkbook with their sneaky "free service" to our customers, and "must comply with us to continue business" extortion.

Reasons for switching to Avetta

We did not switch. Avetta sold itself to some of our active customers and then started billing us. Since then, they have continually sold us to other customers, active, potential, and entirely unrelated, and raised our price-point to match the new number of connections they force us into.

Extortion

The expense of Avetta seems like suppliers are simply being extorted. There is no rationalization for charge the same fee for the same evaluation of the same documentation several times, again and again.

PROS

I like literally nothing about this platform.

CONS

The customer support services are poor, and often I have to call multiple times to resolve anything.

Reason for choosing Avetta

I did not choose Avetta. I ensure compliance with ISNetworld, Comply Works, Alcumus, and also Avetta. Avetta is by far the most expensive platform, and I have to constantly advise my company not to service certain customers.

Vendor Response

Hi Bryan, I am sorry you have not had the experience you were hoping for. I would be happy to review your account with you to see what we can do for you. If you would like to email me at zbaker@avetta.com, I would be happy to assist.

Very expensive compared to competitors platforms

I dislike maintaining the avetta sites...by far the least user friendly compliance site I use...and by far the most expensive. I would not recommend and business to use this platform. I wish that companies would understand the cost that is passed on to small businesses for very little value.

PROS

Avetta is my least favorite compliance site I use..

CONS

1. You have to upload multiple document for each client. Other sites only make you upload your documents once...on Avetta you have to upload for every client...its a waste of time. 2. The cost is double of what we pay for Comply Works and $800 dollars more that ISN. Avetta we only have 3 clients and pay $4116 for an annual subscription.3. When you want to speak with someone in person it is not easy to get someone on the phone. I put in a request for a phone call and they said the do not phone service providers. I had to wait on hold for too long.

Reason for choosing Avetta

I did not choose it and would not recommend it to anyone. The cost is high and the product is very poor compared to ISN and Comply Workds

Vendor Response

We apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. To ensure we can serve you better in the future we would like to better understand your concerns. Please email us at support@avetta.com so we can work to resolve your issues. Thank you.

Worst Customer Service Ever

I can never get customer service. When you call they circle you around and then tell you that they have no customer service available and this is for month after month not just one time. This is always. I have never been able to speak to a person when I have tried to call. They take 2-3 days to review paperwork then decline it and do not even know what they are talking about when declining it. I do not think their employees know English or how to read basic forms. This company is the biggest SCAM.

PROS

Nothing. I hate this company. I wish I could cancel.

CONS

Everything. It is very expensive and we are forced to use it because they bait our customers into joining it and mandating it.

I dislike everything about the Avetta system

We are only using Avetta because three of our big clients use it for their supply chain. This automatically costs us about £450 per client which buys us the privilege of being nagged to complete numerous compliance forms and tasks, most of which are irrelevant to us as we are a very small company with 5 staff total, or they are unrelated to our activities for those clients. In most cases we just leave those tasks incomplete and our clients are fine with that, other than uploading our insurance certs etc.We have to pass on our subscription costs to those clients and being on the platform does not bring us any benefits other than being able to work for those clients, as we are not interested in connecting with any other clients using the platform.Using Avetta brings us nothing but an expensive annual bill that covers no input of beneficial value from Avetta, and an irritating lists of tasks that we mostly ignore.

PROS

There are no aspects of Avetta that I like

CONS

Everything - it is just an annoying and wasteful cost for us, that regularly nags us to fulfil compliance tasks that our direct client contacts are not interested in.Avetta make it difficult to remove connections with clients that you no longer work for - you can only remove them within 30 days of having paid to connect with them, or within 30 days of renewal your Avetta subscription. Be sure to set yourself a reminder to make the request so you don't miss the window!

Disgracefully and tantamount to being a full blown scam

Absolutely hate ever moment of using them. ONE of my thousands of clients use them so we have to pay this exuberant fee for zero purpose. I get NO value for having to deal with them on a weekly basis and they are worth nothing. Just house my existing certification and make life so much more difficult. It is basically a scam!

PROS

NOTHING! The whole process is shocking and does not work

CONS

The interface Customer service The constant having to call them and getting nowhere Price is a joke

Fraudulent company and practices

Scam company. Seriously consider doing business with any company who uses Avetta as their compliance management. This place is bogus.

PROS

This company is the worst. I was forced to use them to work for another company. They overcomplicated the compliance process and held up a contract because of their terrible customer service. Now the company that did use them, stopped using them in under a year (I wonder why...). So I contacted them last week to shut my account down and they have not complied. In fact they have now charged me for the year of service that I don't want or need

CONS

It is impossible to speak with anyone on the deactivation team. I have called, emailed, sent chat requests multiple times over the past week and they refuse to honor my request. I now have to contact my bank to start a fraud case. There is no way to remove my bank account information, I tried last week, which is fraud!

Scam Artists

Random charges in the thousands that will take hours days or even weeks before you can get the correct person on the phone to issue a refund.

PROS

Absolutely nothing. They will charge your card without permission.

CONS

They will randomly add people to your account and charge you thousands of dollars for the new connection with no warning or communication. Then you will spend hours on the phone with the worst customer service available to man to get the connection removed and your money refunded. AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!

Reason for choosing Avetta

No choice. The customer required Avetta in order to do the work.

Easier to use than that of it's competitors like ISNetworld. Customer service is knowledgeable and works to actively help solve any problems that may occur. Other systems tend pass you along or not be able to understand that not all organizations fit into the same cookie cutter categories. I

Review of Avetta

I have to use since it is a requirement of our subconractors

PROS

Some forms are universal and apply to all contractors

CONS

its difficult to get assistance;some questions are not applicable but you are forced to select an answer; we may have worked once for a contractor and are still required to complete the prequalification

Vendor Response

Hi Carmen, There are several things you can do in these cases. Most forms are universal to eliminate need for completing forms that ask the same questions in different ways from different clients. If something does not apply feel free to let us know and we would be happy to walk you through the questions that you feel do not apply and guide you accordingly. As for your subcontractor, you can have the account changed over to the name of your subcontractor if you are no longer in need of it. Let us know and we would be happy to explain this process and to get it started for you!

AWFUL COMPANY

I have had to seek help from them on many occasions due to the way they manage things, constantly having to duplicate documents, constantly having to get clarification on things. I did not want to join this and was made to by client. They will not be an honest and open organisation and let you have a pricing structure, my costs doubled for each of my clients for a year. They ignore safe contractor protocol meaning increasing work load.

PROS

Website looks ok and thats it I can not see any pros for this organisation

CONS

No one will supply direct answers. They refuse to supply a pricing structure, you have to wait until you get your bill. Uncooperative Will not give clear guidlines Duplicate work

I truly believe this is a scam.

I will never work with this company. I strongly recommend anybody read this post do considerable due diligence before signing up.

PROS

Not one single thing. I personally believe there’s a good chance this company is a scam and just does this to receive upfront money and add on fees down the road. Honestly I cannot say one good thing about this company.

CONS

I started the process of subscribing to the service. The on boarding process takes way too long and I decided not to move forward. I never formally subscribed for this service but this does not stop them from sending me invoices. I’ve had multiple conversations with the customer support group along with countless emails for them to stop contacting me for past due invoices since I never signed up for their services. This is not stop them at all and I find this very unprofessional. I also find the customer support group to be embarrassingly bad and rude.
