Cost-effective feature rich expense management solution

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: So far the experience has been very positive - good product supported by a friendly team

Pros:

- Ease of use, ease of set-up, robust functionality - Knowledge and support of the per diem process - Active user v. inactive user pricing model.

Cons:

- we were confused between expense types and expense categories and credit card integration became a little complex and support for this area was not as strong

Alternatives Considered: Unanet ERP GovCon, Deltek Costpoint, Emburse Expense Professional (formerly Certify Expense), Rippling and Fyle

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Expense: cost and user license structure made Unanet too expensive for our organization

Switched From: Unanet CRM GovCon

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Expense: Zoho had the best cost v. functionality mix

Zoho Expenses is a must have product!

5.0 10 months ago

Pros:

Its been extremely easy to move from excel to Zoho Expenses. The time involved in training staff has been minimal and the process of uploading receipts and updating them has been extremely smooth. The auto scan feature in the platform is a must use! It saves so much time in uploading receipt details.

Cons:

I think they work towards improving vendor detection, especially during auto scan. I have several vendors with slightly different variations in name created during auto scan, when in fact all the receipts are from the same vendor. I think a simple (Create new vendor) option is sufficient after scanning the receipt.

Alternatives Considered: Expert, QuickBooks Online and TallyPrime

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Expense: Ease of ERP platform usage - Zoho being cloud based was a no brainer.

Switched From: Microsoft Excel

No longer functional

1.0 2 years ago

Comments: It was great at first offering a great value but know we are force to look for a new option

Pros:

In the past it was easy to match things up now it take longer than if you were to photocopy and do an excel report

Cons:

It keeps getting harder to use with every upgrade. Top enter an expense know you have to go to three different screen to match them up and most of the time you manually have to match them up which takes even longer. The worst part is they can even correctly do their own receipt

Engineering Tracking Expenses for Personal Company and Corporate Use

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: I would highly recommend Zoho to any business or person looking to track expenses for travel or otherwise.

Pros:

Zoho easily integrates uploading and autoscanning receipts across multiple platforms.

Cons:

Offline use is limited and that it's not completely free is a small disappointment.

Alternatives Considered: SAP Concur

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Expense: Cost and ease of use as well as the Zoho interface is more intutitive.
