Pros
I love the customizability of the software. I love that my company can do most of the work on our own without having to wait for Avature to configure.
Their all features are awesome and gave best service in return of their subscription plans.
The Avature is best and solid CRM software or platform and the following things that I like most are. Easy to use dashboard even beginner can understand easily.
Cons
We do not know we have certain features (and it only takes them a minute to enable it) until we ask or raise a struggle to Avature. Could be a frustrating experience.
That I can not configure everything. And the queue time to complete a project is very inconvenient.
You have to pay for each and every little change. The way clients are managed is different too based on your acocunt level, so your customer service can vary widely.

Avature ATS is an industry leading software that provides endless possibilities to it's clients.

Reviewed 4 years ago

Avature is by far my favorite ATS software that I have worked with in my career. Not only that, but they do a great job with bi-weekly system enhancements and staying at the top of the curve when it comes to functionality and features that will keep your recruiting organization at the forefront of the industry.

Pros

Two of my favorite features of Avature are the ability to automate and customize. When implementing this system you have the ability to match the software to your business model and processes. You can also apply automation in a number of ways to enable an increase in productivity for your Recruiting and HR organizations.

Cons

With tons of features and flexibility it's all about knowing and figuring out the best way to do what you want. Sometimes you will encounter issues based on an initial configuration that will take a good amount of work to resolve and get you from point A to B, but nevertheless the system can do a ton!

User friendly with powerful customization and configuration abilities

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, it's been a great collaborative experience with the Avature team, particularly during implementations. Our solution specialists have helped with creative ideas to our unique business issues. Once we moved over to our account team, the response times have been delayed and change requests have been taking much longer than expected to resolve.

Pros

As a system admin, the options and capabalities are endless. A savvy admin can configure a workflow, forms, emails, datasets, and more on their own. The workflows, either in the ATS or CRM, can be customized for each of our unique business needs.

Cons

The AI and advanced automation features are lacking. The tools are on the roadmap, but compared to their competitors they're behind. As an admin the inability to reassign or correct schema ids is frustrating, given we have multiple integration points with other systems.

Vendor response

Your feedback helps us offer a better experience in the future. Thank you for your time!

ATS - Financial Industry

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, as long as you have clearly defined requirements and vision of the future-state and have dedicated resources to thoroughly test the application, you might want to give Avature a try. Avature is a powerful engine if you know what you are looking for and if you are able to establish the right way of communicating this to the implementation team.

Pros

Flexibility to solve for "modern" times problems

Cons

Lack of QA from the Avature implementation team Changes being pushed that are not well managed with users. Assigned Account Managers should make sure clients are aware of the change, when it is coming and how that impacts functionality of the solution. Easter-egg hunting syndrome. We do not know we have certain features (and it only takes them a minute to enable it) until we ask or raise a struggle to Avature. Could be a frustrating experience.

Avature

Reviewed 4 years ago

The ability for users to Self Report is superior to other products. To be able to filter down by workflow step or any field filter, regardless of the object, make it easy for the user to configure their own reporting. Furthermore, Avature has and is willing to build custom integrations for many 3rd party initiatives should their clients be interested in integrating say, a dialer, or, other data source. They are great to work with I have made career decisions on my ability to work with and support Avature.

Pros

I've had 7 years experience implimenting Avature, and, the unfortunate experience of sunsetting Avature in favor of what turned out to be a far inferior (though a very popular) product (with another company). Avature's ability to report data, customize workflow and field configurations, and, the ability to utilize data outside of the platform is second to none. It's highly customizable, user-friendly, and, easy to train. There is no need for 3 part apps, with additional costs, and while some features have additional costs within Avature, the value is superior to those with 3rd party Apps. Avature is constantly improving their product, rolling out enhancements, and, thinking ahead to provided what is needed for true AWS achievement.

Cons

While there are some cons, like, accessing large table data in a raw format for BI integration, Avature is working on overcoming that with Avature 8/Endpoints. Because Avature is so customizable, no two instances are alike, and, this can be more difficult for standardization and training initiatives, but, there are prescriptive restrictions that can be placed on users and admin type roles to avoid customization where desired.

Avature ATS system

Reviewed 4 years ago

We work both in and out of the United States and have been able to optimize the candidate application and interview process around the world, taking all country-specific rules into consideration. The system also integrates well with our employee management system for onboarding management.

Pros

This entire system is customizable. The workflows, forms, portals, and events are all easily customizable to work for your unique company. I appreciate that I can make many changes independently, but the tech support team is always available to assist when I do not have the capacity to do something. They also offer plenty of training videos which has helped me train new team members and learn more myself.

Cons

There are some elements that seem behind in the times compared to other software systems, but Avature is constantly releasing updates, and they're great about listening to their customers. If people voice their opinion, the Avature team will thoughtfully consider your suggestions.
