" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 October 22, 2025 I have worked with Avature solutions fos 3 years now, to handle applications tracking for new resources and it is easy to use and configure, and I received a great support from the compamy. Pros I love avature CRM, I have configured and tested the ATS and CRM solutions with great features for candidate interview, emproyee management and applicant management. It also has a great customer support. Cons Some workflows can be harder to setup, if the business logic is too complex, but in general I liked the solution.

EC Erin C. Agency Recruiting Administrative Assistant Insurance ### "My Avature Experience" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 16, 2025 Avature is easy to learn and use and I learn from it every single day. There are always updates and new features to learn and use. Pros I like that you can configure it to fit your needs and modify as you go. There are so many options that you can literally let the program run itself in some instances. Cons I don't really have anything I don't like. There are little things such as merging multiple profiles at once or marking them not a duplicate.

HRIS Senior Admin Accounting ### "Avature - A system admin's experience" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 September 10, 2025 Avature is perhaps the best ATS out there due to its ability to empower its admins and users with the ability to build and configure their own solutions. As an HRIS admin, the depth of the tools available in Avature has challenged me and allowed me to grow new skills in my career path. Avature has been overall, a great system to manage and our firm has benefited greatly from it. Avature's customer service can be quite good. A special shout out to \[sensitive content hidden\] who has been an outstanding partner to work with and has always advocated for our firm's positions on several cases and projects. \[sensitive content hidden\]'s technical understanding as well as his straight to business attitude has made for an unmatched experience with the platform. Thanks \[sensitive content hidden\] ! Pros Avature's configurability and its wide array of tools make it a powerful system for an experienced HRIS admin. In the right hands, with thoughtful implementation and maintenance, Avature could very well be the best ATS out there. Cons Limitations on data reporting and exporting are definately something that set avature apart in not the best way. Such as exporting limits on users and column limits on custom reports. I understand system stability being the concern, but we don't have any other system in our stack with this kind of limitation. Switched from [iCIMS Hire](https://www.capterra.com/p/93248/iCIMS-Recruit/) I was not involved in this decision to switch.

Lead Business Systems Analyst Information Technology and Services ### "Re imagine the possible with Avature. " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 26, 2025 I think when it comes to using avature as a platform, we are very pleased with the level of support we get from the team. We are enabled to deliver more value to our internal stakeholders, with a level of process that is superior to other solutions available that dont really have the level of flexibility. We are able to screen people successfully, host all of their data in one unified place, have a great experience offered to our internal and external stakeholders in viewing profiles, analyzing data, and applying to jobs which is at the core of our employee journey. All of this with a level of security that gives our internal audit and infosec teams the reassurance needed. Pros I like the flexibility of the platform, it allows for the creativity of the team to come to live and enables them in creating a solution relevant for our business case Cons I think the pricing structure being changed so often is not a good experience for customers. If there is something already handled in a way, dont change it to charge differently to old customers.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. CA Claude A. Avature Platform Manager Staffing and Recruiting ### "Avature Platform Manager" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 August 26, 2025 Avature, in my opinion, is hands-down the leader of the pack in ATS/CRM software, and I don't think it's all that close. The navigation, configurability, smart design, and product evolution make it the superior recruiting software. There are shortcomings, yes, but you'll find these of some sort with any SaaS vendor or product, and the pros Avature offers heavily outweigh any cons. Pros As a long-time administrator and user of Avature, I have always enjoyed the configurability of the core app, from having all the data fields your heart desires to the record layout and dashboards that users access. Its flexibility to your organization's needs, styles, and branding is key. Also key are lists. Avature's lists functionality sets the software apart from any other ATS/CRM. Being able to use virtually any native or custom field as a filter and/or column to find records on a whim -- and being able to save and share an endless number of lists -- ensures each organization can find and act on data in an efficient and complete manner. Massively important. Cons As powerful as lists (and custom reports) are, both suffer performance issues given too much data or too complex of a search. Avature leadership and engineering have taken noticeable steps toward improving this, but much more is needed, and competitors are beginning to leave Avature in the dust in this regard. Avature also has a tendency to over-promise and under-deliver. Big features will be touted as the annual Upfront with an aggressive timeline that proves unrealistic. And when Avature does finally deliver, it often feels half-baked and underwhelming. Examples include Portal Apps Builder, "fuzzy search," Copilot, Sherlock, and smaller features.

Market Recruiter and Onboarding Specialist Team Lead Insurance ### "Absoultely Amazing ATS." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 26, 2025 My overall experience with Avature has been amazing and I do not see that changing. I love everything about the system. i love that it is always customizable based on our ever changing needs. Pros Avature has streamlined our recruiting and onboarding process. everything is contained in one system. all aspects of the candidate profile was customized to our specs and is updated as our needs change. Reporting and analytics are a breeze to pull and put in a presentable format. Our account rep \[sensitive content hidden\] is AMAZING. He is always ready to work some magic and show us how he got there so we are able to duplicate his process. Cons as far as what i like the least is a simple answer. I wish we would have found avature sooner than we did. Switched from [isolved Talent Acquisition](https://www.capterra.com/p/119957/ApplicantPRO/) it was limited and not cumstomizable to our needs Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
