    Emburse
    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, …

    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 …

    Chose Emburse Certify
    They fail in every aspect to compete with Expensify, or any other program out there. We selected Certify because we were told it could help us and replace our very manual process.

    I'm not sure. We chose Certify.

    Chose Emburse Certify
    Originally we selected Certify because of favorable pricing and it met our basic needs. 5 years in we are again evaluating other products seeking direct integration with our accounting system, Intacct and potentially a solution that also offers time tracking.

    Expensify
    Chose Expensify
    Expensify is much easier to use from what I hear. I was not at the company when they were using Certify but there were fewer automations and people did not like it.

    Chose Expensify
    Emburse has similar features but is very manual. You have to create a report of nothing will get submitted. The UI is also not delightful to use. Expensify makes the process much simpler, faster, and easier.
