Pros
Overall, I am happy with product as it is has saved time for team in filing reports and also is a great repository for our sales tax related files.
Seamless integration with our ERP system, reporting and ease of reconciliation to our records are awesome. There is no need to maintain Sales Tax tables internally.
My overall experience with Avalara has been very positive, I especially enjoy all of the resources to help business understand the sales & use tax process.
Cons
Difficult to set up and when it is not working as expected it can get in the way of processing documents.
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.
They charged us up front for a year and then provided little to no support in implementation. It's impossible to get a response from them.
