Avature

No competition in this space. Avature is in a league of their own!

Commenti: Willingness to work toward solutions to any situation! Flexible technology that is continuing to invest in development to stay a leader in the HR tech space. The fact that this company is privately held and is investing more in development than in SALES, they are focusing on being the BEST IN CLASS rather than selling the most. Refreshing!

Aspetti positivi:

Flexibility and ease of configuration for each business strategy and situation in any industry. There are literrally NO limitations. Avature will work with any client to enable their vision.

Aspetti negativi:

Challenging for Tech Support to respond quickly, as each client's instance is unique and the support specialist has to "learn" each instance before addressing an issue, in most cases.

Avature Review, from the Perspective of a BI Analyst

Aspetti positivi:

My role involves creating custom reports and dashboards in Avature. The system’s capabilities are truly impressive! We can map fields from various forms and data sources to develop almost any reporting solution. What I appreciate most about Avature is its ability to be tailored to unique processes, allowing for detailed and specific reporting. I also really appreciate the people who work at Avature.

Aspetti negativi:

What I find most frustrating about Avature is the lengthy process for adding new enhancements, and sometimes, requests are outright denied.

ATS - Financial Industry

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

Flexibility to solve for "modern" times problems

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Great Fan of Avature

Commenti: Avature offers a robust platform for talent management and recruitment, providing customizable solutions that enhance user experience. Its intuitive interface and powerful analytics facilitate efficient workflows, making it a valuable tool for organizations aiming to streamline hiring processes and improve candidate engagement.

Aspetti positivi:

Avature is very reliable and customizable in sense on the workflows

Aspetti negativi:

the feature request will take time to be actioned on

I love Avature

Commenti: my overall expereince with avature is one word. Exceptional. the ease of use, the ability to set the workflows up to suit our company, our account rep [sensitive content hidden] is AMAZING.

Aspetti positivi:

it puts all the aspects of our recruiting and onboarding in one system

Aspetti negativi:

the only thing i dont like about avature is that we did not find it sooner

Avature Review

Commenti: Overall, it's been a positive experience so far. The certification equips the relevant team member to effectively implement changes in line with business requirements.

Aspetti positivi:

The system has significantly streamlined our processes, improving overall efficiency and reducing manual workloads. It has enhanced workflow automation, allowing us to complete tasks faster and with fewer errors. This has resulted in smoother operations and better coordination across team.

Aspetti negativi:

- Other tabs do not load content until they are actively opened, which causes delays. It would improve efficiency if the tabs preloaded content to reduce waiting times when switching between them - The dashlet currently opens within the same tab, which can make navigation less efficient. It would be beneficial if the dashlet (list indicator) opened in a new tab to allow users to easily switch between different lists without navigating back and forth within the dashboard.

Impressive, excited for future developments

Commenti: Very positive, able to deliver key business functionality. Would like some more technical features.

Aspetti positivi:

Avature is highly modular, extensible, and scalable. It's a great mixture of self-service and admin driven features. I'm impressed with how the ongoing enhancements close functionality gaps, and open up new use cases. The Avature team is clearly committed to enhancing the product and solving user pain points.

Aspetti negativi:

There are some bugs with things like lists and table fields in records. I would also like to see more enhancements to the custom report builder functionality. One example would be a custom color palette for visuals. Another would be some additional functions (mean), and the ability to nest aggregate functions which proves to be a limit for advanced analytics. I also think there's an opportunity for natural language processing (NLP) driven analytic and list capabilities.

Avature Review

Commenti: I have used Avature for about 3 years now and I am still learning new techniques and features that make my everyday life a lot simpler and more efficient

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use and there are so many features

Aspetti negativi:

The only thing I have for a con is I wish there was a way to be able to send a translated email, (English to Spanish specifically), individually and not in mass actions. Like an as need basis.

Highly Customizable Platform

Commenti: My overall experience with Avature has been positive. I have used it for the last 8 years and have found it to be user-friendly and effective in managing our recruitment and employee data. It has provided us with the flexibility to meet our specific needs and has empowered us to be more self-sufficient through its robust certification and training programs.

Aspetti positivi:

What I like most about Avature is its flexibility and customizability. It’s not a “box solution,” but rather a highly adaptable platform that allows us to tailor it to our unique processes. Additionally, the ability to get certified and become self-sufficient in the system makes it easy to manage and maximize its value internally.

Aspetti negativi:

Because Avature is so customizable, it can create a steeper learning curve for new users who aren’t familiar with its extensive configuration options. This can be challenging when onboarding new team members, as they often need additional support to understand the system’s capabilities.

Avature Review

Commenti: I work as a candidate engagement PM that also doubles as an Avature Admin. We use Avature primarily as a CRM. Due to business needs I was unable to attend all certification courses, but needed to operate in my capacity. I found Avature highly capable & effective of managing what I needed, but was often taking a majority of my time researching to find answers to my troubleshooting needs.

Aspetti positivi:

It is a powerful tool to build robust ATS/CRM platform/s for your business. One user can manage vast amounts of capabilities to ensure top quality candidate engagement and data management.

Aspetti negativi:

It can be difficult to navigate all of the capabilities and time consuming to find assistance. When building digital processes or solutions, I need to be able to find my answers quickly. I found the Avature training library difficult to navigate when seeking solutions, and don't always have time to wait for responses to customer service requests. Access to a technical or process manual would be a nice feature.

Powerful, mature, and flexible system

Commenti: Overall, I am very content with our Avature platform. It's helped us create many automations and efficiencies.

Aspetti positivi:

The incredible amount of flexibility. There's many different challenges you can throw at Avature, and almost all of them can be solved. It's really powerful and mature.

Aspetti negativi:

Because there's so much you can do, the learning curve is quite step. Also, features have extended capabilities, but it does happen every now and then that you are stuck with a trade-off, as every workaround you find has at least some limitation. Albeit often limited, it's often a shame that you can get close to perfection, but then something obvious could be missing. This happens especially with new functionality, where the first release is very limited.

One step to be the best!

Commenti: I like it the way it serve as an advancement of candidate data storage, and platform to co-work on mandate with recruiter globally.
But it feels like there is a lot potential on candidate engagement, and integration with other platform to be unleashed. In another word, good job to Avature that we're relying more on Avature than other applications, and hope Avature could incorporate other configurations soon.

Aspetti positivi:

Its configuration design is very relevant to recruiter - how we split pipeline/company/ people and etc, and therefore it's easy to understand and use.

Aspetti negativi:

It doesn't seem to connect with other platform (LinkedIn, Workday in China) well, which leads to a lot of manual works importing and exporting data.

Great customisation and Functionality

Commenti: Very good, as the system lead, I'll be advising my business to stick with Avature for the long run

Aspetti positivi:

Incredibly configurable, when you ask if something is possible the answer is almost yes. It also allows the system leads (like me) to self-service a lot of changes. The Admin UI is very intuitive and there's heaps of learning content and support.

Aspetti negativi:

At times we hit pinch points with centralised teams on projects and changes. We only need to engage with these teams for certain large projects and integrations.

Avature ATS/CRM are top notch!

Commenti: Overall, our company is very satisfied with Avature. We have very positive end user experiences for all types of users which was our goal. Like any software, there are challenges but the positives outweigh the negatives twofold.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to customize to meet our specific business needs. You would think with a SaaS you would be limited, but that has not been our experience with Avature. The ability to make updates to fields, workflows, views, portals, forms, templates, etc. is very easy and does not require a technical expert to make the changes.

Aspetti negativi:

One of the challenges we face is keeping up with the enhancements and fully understanding how to use the enhancement in our instance. Some are very self explanatory and the explanations provided by Avature are easy to understand. Others, may require some additional training to determine if the enhancement is truly something you want to apply to your instance.

New to Avature! It's Dynamic!

Commenti: Overall, it has been very positive! While we are still in the implementation stage we have been impressed with option to customize just about everything we need to be specific to our use case. We are excited for how this change to Avature will impact our team immediately and in the long term!

Aspetti positivi:

Automation, ability to customize to your business need and configure processes in multiple ways. All of the features and functionality to help you work smarter and not harder.

Aspetti negativi:

We cannot rename certain fields/sections or even folder/records to be a name that works for us. For instance, ideally we would have called a record/folder 'Restaurant' but were not able to do that. Access to certain system permissions without completing a certification class.

Avature is almost unlimited in realizing processes

Aspetti positivi:

The modern technology and flexibility in it´s configuration allows users to dream and design big.

Aspetti negativi:

The process for activating new modules could be improved.

Avature is very powerful, on the right path

Aspetti positivi:

Avature is incredibly customizable. We selected Avature because we wanted to build in specific checkpoints and capture specific data points in our recruiting process and no other system could support our requirements like Avature can.

Aspetti negativi:

The company is very siloed and it's extremely challenging to get the right help and customer service. You have to just get lucky that the person you are connected with happens to know how to solve your exact problem, otherwise you essentially don't get help.

Natural Feel - easy to adopt by the every day user.

Aspetti positivi:

The Avature UI is very sleek and clean; it feels natural. The usability is built for simplicity while offering customization for the user. The roadmap since I have been using it has been set up to deliver more features to users and non-developers which has been great to delivery agile results with little implementation timeline and resources.

Aspetti negativi:

The platform is very customizable, but we tend to hit our record limits with lists, reports and dashboards that requires more developing of smaller chunks of data to get the values to generate versus creating a single large level widget for admins or senior leaders to review.

The most customizable tool in the market

Aspetti positivi:

Most of Avature's features and product solutions have the ability to customize for customers to get the most out of the tool. Processes can easily be improved as the tool can mold to the customer's needs. It has the ability to be agile in a would of constant change.

Aspetti negativi:

The reporting features of a tool are typically difficult to understand and Avature is no different but they have many support options to get customers up to speed on how to navigate the reporting functionality.

Avature ATS, CRM, Onboarding

Commenti: Avature is outstanding. You can use it for really any Recruiting, Onboarding and even Off-Boarding use case there is. Great tool and great support.

Aspetti positivi:

Customer service and flexibility of the product

Aspetti negativi:

There isn't much - it's been an outstanding tool and the backbone of our department.

Great product but can be difficult to complete work

Aspetti positivi:

The incredibly flexible workflows and data models make it easy to facilitate our processes, which can be complex at times.

Aspetti negativi:

Until our recent certification we needed Avature to update many things within our instance (application, career site, etc). After certification this has improved greatly! However, we still can find it difficult to understand what features are available or coming soon and if we have them enabled in our portals. With a good account manager relationship this can be helped.

The best ATS/CRM in the market

Commenti: Avature has helped us bring all of Talent Acquisition into one product, in one instance. We have achieved our goal of 'One Team, One System' in Avature. We now have the ability to expand an enhance our reporting and dashboard capabilities, streamline our sourcing and screening of candidates utilizing AI, and create a cohesive, top-notch candidate and hiring team experience.

Aspetti positivi:

Avature's ATS and CRM functionalities are incredibly configurable and can accommodate a very diverse set of business capabilities. This has allowed us to create an instance that offers optionality, while keeping the various business processes in the same Product. This has been a game changer for our Talent Acquisition group!

Aspetti negativi:

Avature's interviewing scheduling is quite manual - infusing this process with some AI, if possible, to make it a bit more user-friendly and automated would be helpful for us.

Flexible and mature product

Aspetti positivi:

The flexibility which can cater to almost any use case imagineable. The building blocks (datamodel, datasets, forms, workflows, etc.) of the platform make sense, and allow for highly customised and unique processes.

Aspetti negativi:

It's difficult to understand and set up everything at first, as there is so much that can be done. Also, you have to request additional permissions to gain more power. But they tend to only give these permissions when you request them, however you can't request what you don't know. So this is best to discuss with your account manager, and then they are happy to walk through it together.

CRM that lets you build it your way

Commenti: Despite any negatives or less-than-five-star features, I am an Avature evangelist in a world of folks trying to be "tech-agnostic." That doesn't mean I don't also like other products, but Avature's ease of use has made me look smart in more than a few situations.

Aspetti positivi:

The versatility and ease of use with Avature's workflow builder sets it apart from its competition. When I'm confronted with any type of recruitment process issue - even outside of its normal use - my first question is, "How might Avature improve this process?"

Aspetti negativi:

Integration with LinkedIn would be a huge improvement, but Avature may not be to blame. Resume parsing is decent, but the evolution of matching (and "AI," whatever that means this month) may not have been prioritized on the developer story list as highly as it should.

User friendly with powerful customization and configuration abilities

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.
