    Considered Both Products

    Chose Emburse Certify
    All expenses were done on Excel worksheets before we got Certify.

    They both are user friendly and easy to use. Both send emails to leaders or employees or things that need to be corrected prior to final submission. I would recommend either of these.

    I was not involved in the selection process. I know we evaluated Emburse Certify against a manual reimbursement process (not using a specific product).

    Chose Emburse Certify
    We used Concur prior to Certify. It cost 5x as much and was not worth the money. We also looked at Expensify, which had minor issues compared to what we are dealing with in Certify. Certify does not compare to Concur. The platforms are in two different leagues. Expensify is a …

    Chose Emburse Certify
    The cost to implement [Emburse] Certify was lower than the primary competition (Concur), but the integration with our existing card programs simply did not work the way we expected it to and the way it was sold to us. Any money saved by going with Certify over Concur was lost …

    Certify is our first electronic expense reporting system. We used Excel spreadsheets prior, so I have nothing to compare it to.

    I've used Concur in the past, but Certify is much lower-cost and a much better service. It has more flexibility and is easier to use.

    Chose Emburse Certify
    Certify is similar to Expensify in terms of features and overall potential. Expensify, however, works exactly how I expected it to work when I first opened it. There was very little that I had to learn. Certify’s workflow and interface are a little different than I anticipated, …

    The price is better and the support is better from what I have been told. I looked into them and never heard back from them when I sent in my info and Certify got in contact in mins to discuss my needs.

    Chose Emburse Certify
    I think most of the functionality between the two products is similar and very competitive. I do not use the booking or research facilities of either product but I believe they are similar and have the same functionality. Overall I liked the interface a little bit better on Conc…

    We chose Certify for ease of understanding, resources for training staff, multiple departments, and price.

    Chose Emburse Certify
    I've only briefly looked at Concur as an expense platform and it came close to what Certify offers. The interfaces are similar, the functionality is basically the same, and a lot of companies use both systems. I think that it comes down often to price between the platforms. …

    Chose Emburse Certify
    I believe for a large organization Certify is the least costly provider compared to other solutions. It is significantly better than using the likes of SAP's Concur ERP type platform. However, it is not as forward-thinking and cool to use like Expensify or Zoho. Again, you …

    Chose Emburse Certify
    We narrowed our selection down to Certify and Expensify. I had our director of IT review both. He was extremely happy with the ease of use as well as the support we would receive through Certify. I believe his initial conversation was with "Mr. Happy. "Certify will know who …

    Chose Emburse Certify
    To be honest we haven't even looked at Expensify ever since we switched full time to Certify. At the time when we compared the 2 platforms, Certify came out on top due to its flexibility of use and customer support. Every once in a while an employee brings up a comparison but I …

    The price was what sold us on Certify as well as the platform for our users. Mobile app was a must!

    We evaluated and attempted to get started with Concur but found reporting with Concur to be lacking. Certify seemed a better fit for our organization and company size.

    Bill.com allows for multiple approval chains and dollar limits. Generally not needed in a small organization, but very important in a larger organization.
