Emburse Nexonia
Chose Emburse Nexonia
As mentioned earlier in the several questions, Emburse Nexonia is easy to use compared to all the above applications. Integration is easy and plenty of automation opportunities in Emburse Nexonia. Capturing a time sheet is an additional option that no other application has this …
Chose Emburse Nexonia
I just used it for a client so not much experience into that to compare with nexonia which I have used extensively.

So my tendency is more towards nexonia which is satisfying the needs and hence not going to search for any other options.
Chose Emburse Nexonia
It captures receipts through the mobile app and is more convenient Easy to code time sheets and User-friendly and It will sync with Intacct and BILL for payments it greatly Improves suppliers and partner relationships it si very much Cost management it has good Product …
Chose Emburse Nexonia
The price point was right for us with enough critical features to meet our main business goals.
Chose Emburse Nexonia
Concur was significantly higher in price than Nexonia Expenses which is why we chose Nexonia Expenses instead.
Chose Emburse Nexonia
I used in the past Nexonia Expenses in my previous company and in my current company, we use SAP Concur. I think that Nexonia is clearly a good alternative and very affordable. Again, it seems like it has problems of scalability so when your company get to a certain size, it …
Chose Emburse Nexonia
Nexonia's price point is hard to beat, and their integration with NetSuite is the best I have seen out there.
Chose Emburse Nexonia
Nexonia was inexpensive and had all the features that we needed when we implemented it.
Chose Emburse Nexonia
Nexonia is probably more expensive than Expensify but has been around longer and has more features (accounts payable, time entry, etc). We decided on Nexonia for their customization features and amazing customer support.
Expensify
Chose Expensify
It is better since Expensify covers a multitude of different expensible options. Motus is nice as it tracks your location for the most accurate milage usage reading but also that features heavily drains my phone battery so it is very nice to just map it myself and put in later …
Chose Expensify
Expensify by far passes Excel on keeping track of expenses and reconciling. The report function is also relatively easy to use. The ability to graph is an excellent asset as well.
Chose Expensify
Concur was more expensive but offered a few other things that worked better on a corporate platform. For me personally I chose Expensify based on the lower cost and better access to what makes a difference to me on a local sales rep level. I don't use Expensify to do invoicing, …
Chose Expensify
Expensify is the only product ever used for covering travel expenses and I see no reason to try anything else.
Chose Expensify
12/10 prefer Expensify over Oracle.

From user friendliness, to support, and selfishly, the overall look and design of Expensify blows other finance software out of the water.
Chose Expensify
Expensify is simpler and more user-friendly, especially for individual use. The scan receipt function and the straightforward reporting process are key advantages. I chose Expensify because it’s quick to set up and handles most tasks without overcomplicating things.
Chose Expensify
I did not selected Expensify but I found it very easy to use
Chose Expensify
Uncomplicated
Great UX
Brilliant comms
Chose Expensify
Expensify simplifies the process without a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles
Chose Expensify
I have not evaluated or used anything similar for expense tracking. I did it manually before.
Chose Expensify
Way easier to use, way better mobile experience, the Receipt Scanning capability works and Concur doesn't even offer it. Way more flexible form requirements. Overall significantly better.
Chose Expensify
Expensify is so much better!!! TravelPerk had us spending hours on the phone with their concierge to get the best travel options, to rebook cancelled or delayed travel, and to make any changes to the itinerary before a trip. It was clunky and ineffective. We often lost money …
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
Expensify was much more user friendly and most cost effective than the others.
Chose Expensify
I've used "old school" clunky web based interfaces that do not work on mobile in the past. It used to be a painful struggle when back in the office when returning from a business trip and get everything in.
Chose Expensify
For us the deal was with the cost per user. We are a small company with a tight budget and basic expense management needs, so although there are plenty of tools in the market for expense management, it was way over our budget. I needed also to be able to implement it and manage …
Chose Expensify
Before it was always just taking pics and sending to office.
Chose Expensify
Concur has an integration to the CRM system, perhaps more robust with travel options, but it's also more complicated to use in my opinion. An overkill for a small business

Well suited for businesses where the billing goes based on time and expenses. Easy tracking and integration helps to solve the accounting entry flow in the accounting system. Less appropriate where there is only fixed fee billing and time tracking metrics are not much required.

I think it's really good for small businesses. At least in the way we use it. It's very good for keeping an eye on employee spending in nearly real time. I'm not sure how it works for larger companies when there is a larger number of people to keep track of.

  • Ability to feed credit card data into the system is super helpful.

  • I am able to submit my mileage and the great feature to put the starting destination and end destination. It auto populates the mileage for you!
  • The coniserge is helpful and reminds me when I did not do certain things like submit my report. That’s a nice feature!
  • I am able to submit my expenses quickly and it scans the receipts or you can upload a picture of them very quickly.

Cons
  • The design interface isn't intuitive or attractive. Because I use it irregularly (less than once a month), I spend a lot of wasted time trying to remember how to use it.
  • If you have complicated submissions, it's challenging to figure out how to submit it correctly. I have to break each submission down into individual charges, although there's supposed to be a way to use a "split" feature or other features that would allow you to add multiple receipts to 1 day. After a year, I still haven't figured out how to use anything beyond one receipt = 1 submission.

Our company will use Expensify for as long as it will fit our purposes. However, it is obvious that once the fast-growing company will reach a certain size, we will need to transition to a more complex system. For our current purposes however, Expensify is great and I would recommend it to everyone

So simple to set up and use. It was easy to roll out to all our staff! The demos, instructions, and FAQ's were well written and enabled us to train our staff quickly. We have frontline employees who have mastered the system in a day. The scalability is also perfect. We are able to start with just a few cards and grew that number as our organization needed without any problems.

Support Rating
I was not talking directly with the customer support. My understanding was that, there was some maintenance on the platform but it was never inconvenient for employee or during pick time when employee would put their expenses in the tool. To that extent, I think the support for Nexonia is correct

Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer.

The implementation process went rather smoothly, linking it to the bank and cards was handled easily. without too many unnecessary steps. Getting the accounts setup did take some time, but that would be true with any organization. All in all things went smoothly and I was very pleased with the setup and implementation process

Concur is the only formal software I've used, though I think this was only used in my PhD program (2010-2014), so in fairness, it's been a while. I remember Concur being just OK. It was certainly easier to use than the 'upload documents to email' process my former employer had instituted, but it was not Expensify-level smart and easy. At least back then, there was no simple drag-and-drop document parsing for example.

  • Positives include - timely expense reports to reconcile our fiscal year financials
  • Negatives include - the monthly service fee per employee (even if no expenses were generated that month) - it is not cost effective for ALL of our employees to utilize the application.
