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.

For my own personal use, though, what I probably like best is the notifications sent straight to my email - including the fact that I can directly access finished projects/documents from those emails.

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.

We liked many things about Avaza. First of all it is cost effective.

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.

Is an amazing instant messaging platform for any software organization. We have done some pretty cool stuff with the api that allows us to use robots to alert our teams of various statuses etc.

Self hosted, easy to integrate with anything, fast and best for teams.

The UI is very clean, fast, intuitive. Usage is straightforward.

Zulip is easy to use, and easy to deploy and admin. I really like the idea of channel topics - it is very useful for keeping a channel organized.

Great Way to communicate with my co-workers from the job, love the small integration it has, its easy to use.

Zulip's threading model is the best. It's also clearly built for people who use it constantly: good keyboard shortcuts, reliable and fast even with loads of messages, and thoughtful UI choices.

We also use Slack internally, which is great because we are used to it. But Zulip is better for our the community we are building for an open-source project.

It is very intuitive, it is easy to build channels. It helps to stimulate discussions among the researchers i invited.

We tried ALL other options before Zulip. Our team with 500 is very happy with Zulip.

Zulip is much better for pricing and gives options to host your own, or (for academics) free cloud hosting. It has all the features you'd expect, and even has builtin latex support.

I want to subscribe to topics, but this is still on the roadmap. The mobile client is very limited and that's why even on the smartphone I use the web client.

It's simple, it's streamlined, the UI is very mild and pleasant. Bot integration is easy to do and very varied in what it CAN do.

Zulip makes messaging about any kind of development very easy and exciting. I like the automatic linking feature very much.

The absolute highlight of Zulip is the organization of messages into streams and topics. Streams allow us to pursue individual projects, and topics help us to have focused discussions.

Helps us in navigating and finding our way through series of messages. Als the level of customization fits our needs.

Configuring notifications as per the convenience is also amazing so that I can get messages instantly. Even the mobile app is extremely smooth and easy to use.

It's not very easy on the eye when you look at it for the first time, and it looks really confusing.

Zulip is a full on Slack replacement for a fraction of the cost. I really prefer the topic threading to the freeform nature of Slack as well.

And if and when I find a message from the conversation that I want to review, it's non-intuitive to navigate from the search results to that full conversation. It's a minor inconvenience though.

I like it, I will keep using it, hoping that the developer improves on the interface.

The topic features is the best. It helps me get through messages easily and with context.

I like the simple and intuitive messaging interface which keeps me get updated on the latest communication.

The most important communication tool for our team and community.

Zulu was super easy to navigate as we are looking to make e-learning easier for both students and teachers.

Zulip is a good software , I liked the chat feature and controls/restrictions we can add for the specific users.

Sans the above issue this is incredible software that has solved the inter-agency communication problem. End users love it and from a system standpoint it is rock solid.
