The automation around sales tax calculations, invoicing, and compliance reporting saves a significant amount of manual work for our finance team. Integration with ERP and ecommerce platforms is strong, and once configured properly, it runs reliably in the background. It has also helped reduce errors and improved confidence during audits and reconciliations. > > **Cons**: The initial setup and learning curve can be quite complex, especially for businesses operating across multiple entities or countries. Some configuration areas are not very intuitive, and troubleshooting tax mapping issues can take time. Support response times can vary depending on the issue complexity. > > Overall, our experience with Avalara has been very positive. It provides strong value for money for medium to large businesses dealing with complex tax requirements. The platform improves efficiency for payroll-related tax handling, invoicing accuracy, and compliance management while reducing manual intervention. It is particularly useful for ecommerce and multi-subsidiary environments where tax compliance can otherwise become difficult to manage. Team collaboration has also improved because finance and operations teams can work from a more standardized process. ----- ### "3.5 out of 5" — 3.0/5 > **patrick** | *19 March 2026* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works great, until it doesn't. When it doesn't, it is very hard to get help. Most of the time, Avalara is great\! > > **Cons**: You can't get help, your account executive forwards you elsewhere and you have to send multiple emails for a reply. ----- ### "Great investment for any business, big or small\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ashley** | *30 April 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is user friendly. I don't think i use avalara to its full potential but it does make it very easy to navigate and the fact that they register in states for you, make life so much easier\! Reporting is very seamless and their reports are great. > > **Cons**: The instructions for beginners can have a learning curve. There needs to be someone that can give you a demo once you have to register in a state and what all that happens, like reconciling the transactions and such. > > I have loved everything about Avalara. The customer service is great. Their follow up when you do have an issue, to make sure the issue is resolved is amazing. Great customer service. ----- ### "Must have tool for US tax compliance operating in overseas" — 4.0/5 > **Gabby** | *27 May 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to calculate US tax without having to worry about it. It has seamless connection to Netsuite so easy to use > > **Cons**: Cost can be a burden for small company and customer service can improve but I find it mainly it is related to the time difference ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/125770/avalara?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/125770/avalara) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
