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.
Melio
Chose Melio
1. One thing I like about Melio is the free version for small businesses or individuals or soleprenuels .
2. Melio offers free bank to bank payments on all plans, even the free version unlike other competitors.
3. You can pay vendors with credit cards even if they don't accept …
Chose Melio
I have used Bill, Mercury and Novo. They all meet my requirements' for my business and do similar services. However, I have been sticking with Melio over the other products as it meets all the needs for my business. Melio is a turn key solution for me. Melio is all I am using …
Chose Melio
Melio has much better customer service and lower fees than the competitors I've tried!
Chose Melio
Melio stacked up well against other solutions. The workflow and reporting were simple and the payment options were less expensive, without a monthly subscription. The ability to pay multiple invoicing in a few short clicks was appealing. The updated payment workflow was …
Chose Melio
I love Melio compared to bill.com, which seems to be full of fees and annoying ads that Melio does not have.
Chose Melio
Melio is 100% free if you just use ACH, and that by itself would be reason enough for me to stick with the platform, it boats a ton of other useful features that add to the experience.
Chose Melio
Melio tested to be much easier to use than BILL.
Additionally, Melio is free for bill payment; others charge quite a bit. Being able to recommend a free app to our clients makes standardizing on a single solution very easy for us.
Chose Melio
Less features than Ramp, but a solid option for free use for ACH. If you need International wires, fees may be higher than other options. However, you can issue paper checks, ACH, wires or use a linked credit card to pay bills.
Chose Melio
I prefer Melio due to its simplistic interface.
Chose Melio
I prefer Melio over Bill.com. I prefer Melio because it is easier to cancel or correct a payment on the platform. I like the way that Melio lets you track vendor requests for payment information. I like that it is easy to follow the payment all the way through the process to …
Chose Melio
It is pretty good, but clients call frustrated with it when they have to fix things. I cannot offer it to advanced clients, since the system is too simple.
Chose Melio
Bill.com is more expensive and more difficult to use than Melio. While it has a greater range of functionality and apparently has better integration into QuickBooks, we didn't need the greater functionality and I had just as much trouble integrating into Bill.com as I have with …

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.

Melio is particularly well suited for small businesses above $100K in revenue whose owners want to save time and simplify bill payments. It is helpful to bookkeepers so that they don't have to ask the owners, over and over again, "what was that check for?" and "can you send me the bill?"

Pros

  • The system is intuitive for both users and approvers.
  • Ability to feed credit card data into the system is super helpful.

  • The simplicity it adds to business payments is a great deal. One feature we really value it the ability to pay vendors by check. Melio prints and mails checks for us which saves time and hassle.
  • Payment scheduling tool is another thing we enjoy. This tool lets us plan ahead and manage cash flow more effectively by setting payment dates in advance.
  • Another thing Melio does well is the tracking of payment.
  • There was a time a vendor claimed that they hadn't been paid, but with just a few clicks we could see the check has already been delivered.
  • This kind of transparency gives us confident and keep things professional.
  • The integration with other platform or accounts like QuickBooks is an experience I did love to keep.

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.

  • There should be an automatic link between vendors added with their Melio link and the same vendors that already exist in QuickBooks. As it is now, a new vendor is created when you do that and is not linked with the one that already is in QuickBooks.

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
