Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • Avalara is invested in the success of their customers.
  • The tax cal rates are reliable and the dashboard is easy to use.
  • Cons

  • My experience has been awful. I had to request a new sales person in the beginning because I couldn't get him to send me a quote.
  • Reminds me of the old Microsoft model (maybe still current model?) and it can be very irritating. If you have a tax problem, the last thing you need is more costs and a wait time.

  • Pros

  • We upload our transactions on a monthly basis rather than using the live feed. It has been working great until recently.
  • I think many will upgrade to the full version in time. From what I can tell, it is the best value.
  • Cons

  • Before I was even able to access the full functionality I received an invoice for a time period before I even had signed up for taxcloud. They admitted it was erroneous and corrected it.
  • At first customer service seems a concern. However, this is short lived once the immediate anxiety of employing a new service is overcome.
