Don’t care client at all. Even no proper action after escalated complaint one month ago\! ----- ### "Avalara Review" — 5.0/5 > **Mrugen** | *26 March 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Avalara is its clear focus on simplifying complex tax compliance processes through automation. The platform is highly reliable, continuously updated with changing tax regulations, and integrates well with various accounting and ERP systems. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Avalara is that, despite its strong automation capabilities, the platform can sometimes feel complex and not very intuitive for new users. ----- ### "Avalara Review" — 4.0/5 > **Diane** | *13 February 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The variety of products, and the ability to customize to individuals. > > **Cons**: Connectivity Issues that created lag time. > > Ok, most of the time, but the customer service reps do not always communicate well. ----- ### "Frustrating Experience & Poor Support" — 1.0/5 > **Katherine** | *8 August 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Large, established company with recognizable brand Prebuilt Salesforce package (no need to build from scratch) Basic functionality works for straightforward tax setups > > **Cons**: Support team lacks knowledge for even basic Salesforce mapping issues Pushed to upgrade to costly Technical Account Manager with no added value Long-standing issues remain unresolved (case open for nearly a year) Only solution offered is “upgrade the installed package,” which never fixes the problem Installed package contains locked-down flows, Apex classes, and process builders with errors that admins cannot update > > Our experience with Avalara Sales Cloud has been extremely disappointing. Their Support team lacks the knowledge to troubleshoot even basic Salesforce mapping issues. From the start, we were told the only way to resolve our issue was to upgrade to a Technical Account Manager—an extra monthly cost—yet this “premium” support is no better than the free package (which isn’t saying much). I’ve had an open case for nearly a year, and their only repeated suggestion is to “upgrade the installed package,” which has never resolved the problem. The installed package contains locked-down flows, Apex classes, and process builders that have errors, but cannot be modified by admins. I’ve escalated to both our Account Manager and Customer Success Manager, only to be sent back to the TAM team, creating a frustrating cycle with no real solutions. If you’re looking for a partner who can actually troubleshoot and resolve Salesforce integration issues, look elsewhere. ----- ### "Extremely helpful in navigating the ins-and-outs of US sales tax" — 4.0/5 > **Nico** | *30 May 2025* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Extremely helpful in navigating the ins-and-outs of US sales tax. From registering for sales tax in any US State to submitting returns, certificate management and generate reporting. > > **Cons**: It takes a bit to undestand how the system work, especially for non US, but after that it's a walk in the park > > As a Uk company with a presence in the US we needed help to understand and US sales tax procedures, and after enquiring a few consultants and CPA's they all recommended Avalara. We then got in touch with them and organised the onboarding, which was a bit of a lenghty process, however once we launched it we never looked back. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/75673/avatax?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/75673/avatax) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
