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.

The integration of Word and Outlook are amazing time savers. The new Ai feature is awesome.

Definitely helped as far as organization of emails and other important documents. Easy to use and also has a speedy search engine.

I would recommend any law office with a large client base or just starting out to invest in Smokeball.

It is intuitive and works seemlessly with Microsoft Word and Outlook; it provides excellent customer service; it is accessible from one's phone.

M a recent user, and am completely happy with the software, the customer service and the price. I recommend Smokeball to any small law firm.

This software is easy to use and all of my staff love it. It improves our workflow, makes us more efficient and makes every day more enjoyable.

I have been extremely happy with the move to Smokeball over a year ago. My billing has increased and the usage of the system helps me coordinate and keep up with my case load.

Implementation was super smooth and the support people are so responsive and helpful.

The document automation saves me time and headache with formatting. The integration features make sure that nothing I do is missing in the client files.

Time recording and billing are our favourite features. Smokeball allows easy file access in an organised platform.

The ease of organizing files and search capabilities are outstanding. I like the ability to work offline while traveling, and it has become an asset when working out of the office.

I love the customer support for smokeball. They are always there to walk you through things and help create a better system.

They also lack CRM functionality that many other providers are offering. Their closed API also makes it difficult to integrate with other software providers.

The integration with Microsoft Word and Outlook are great. Unlike other software programs, they work all the time and are easy to use.

Smokeball tech support is readily available and fantastic. There is so much functionality to what this software can do.

AI time tracking could be great feature if it continues to improve. Like the UI and the always available in the cloud feature.

Easy to use, easy to implement. Customer service is excellent they are always willing to improve their product and help with issues and questions.

The ease of the program and the ability of the support staff to make changes to the software to  specifications needed. The time saved with the use of this program is incredible.

They seem unconcerned about security issues that result. Fixing invoices is problematic.

The ease of integration for the products that I use is excellent and seamless. The time tracking capabilities help make sure that I don't miss a billable.

The billing features are what I like most as the the firm admin. It is extremely user friendly and helps me to stay on top of our accounts receivable.

No accounting or linking with QuickBooks. The offered document template set ups by their staff are poorly executed.

The biggest drawback for me is the inability to customize containers for info that we would use in our office setting.

It's very intuitive, efficient, and their support team is always helpful. I've called a number of times, and they are always easy to talk to and help answer my question.

Can overstate the quality of the program, the ease of use, and the customer service and support.

Everything is in one place and looks fantastic. Client's info, documents, notes, calendar items, billing, it's all in front of you.

It's difficult to switch from Plaintiff to Defendant if you open a case the wrong way, especially if you already have a lot of information in the case.

No sales tax calculation makes me unable to use the billing feature.

Great product but still lacking in essential features.

In other words even if you stop using their service you will personally have to still keep paying.

Smokeball has been an excellent practice management program for us, and their staff are prompt and helpful in helping with our needs.

Luckily for us, Smokeball is everywhere we are. With help from Smokeball's cloud-based system, we were able to transition to working from home very quickly and easily.

Excellent, saves time and helps me earn more money.
