Considered Both Products
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.
Navan
Chose Navan
TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to …
Chose Navan
TripActions destroys Concur. TripActions is way more user friendly and has a ton more functionality. No comparison.
Chose Navan
We used Corporate Traveler in the past. It was nice to have a dedicated travel agent, but with an organization, our size TripActions has been the best option!
Chose Navan
I personally believe that TripActions is ahead of the game here. They're always pushing out additional features and their functionality never seems to fail.
Chose Navan
I like TripActions more because everything is on a mobile app that is super user-friendly. The customer service team is also world class-I genuinely have never felt so taken care of. More so, Concur Travel and Expense never rewarded me for traveling, while I made over 200 …
Chose Navan
TripActions has superior UI, better inventory, pretty much better in every way.
Chose Navan
TripActions have less shady tricks and hidden fee but the same or better selection and price, save time.
Chose Navan
TripActions stacks up exceptionally when comparing against similar tools such as Nexonia, or Certify. Both of which I have used at prior Sales Orgs. With expense tools, it all comes down to the mobile application. If you're traveling at all for your role/job, you will …
Chose Navan
Not a fan of TripIt at all. TripActions is clearly the superior product in giving vast rewards and benefits for business travel. TripIt has seamless integration with Concur but is not user-friendly at all.
Chose Navan
TripActions is better in every way. Support, ease of use, benefits to me, as well as just the ability to compare options easily in a variety of different ways. It easily links to my travel rewards programs which is nice so I can get the benefits even when booking with my …
Chose Navan
I think TripActions is better since visually it is easier to review the trip. The appeal to the eye is nice.
Chose Navan
Definitely the look, feel and usability.
Chose Navan
TripActions is far superior to Egencia in terms of ease of use and customer support. I would not recommend Egencia for company use.
Chose Navan
They are not built for enterprises, not as intuitive, easy or organized
Chose Navan
Concur was very hard to use and most of my team didn't like using it. It was not user-friendly like TripActions.
Chose Navan
User-friendly interface. TripActions is extremely intuitive and easy to use, with tabs, graphics, chat, etc. Bonuses for individuals. The Amazon bonuses are a best seller.
Chose Navan
We evaluated a number of products and landed on TripActions... flexibility about company policy; deployment of iPhone app and its integration with Expensify were key.
Chose Navan
We realized there was a lot of money being spent on travel and hotel accomadations, and there was no way to cap how much an employee was spending. This has solved many business problems by visually explaining the correct amount someone should be spending on flights and hotels, …
Chose Navan
We did not have a good experience with Concur. It was difficult to use and outdated. I spent many days helping our travelers try to find the correct flights on Concur, or helping them troubleshoot errors. TripActions was a huge improvement and both myself and our travelers …

I was not part of the evaluation process.

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.

TripActions is absolutely useful for any outside sales teams and companies that promote or offer a lot of travel. If the sales team travels as much as ours does, it's worth the investment. If travel is not something that most of your company has on a monthly to quarterly basis, I do not think that TripActions would be well suited for that environment

Pros
  • The integration with NetSuite is well executed.
  • The system is intuitive for both users and approvers.
  • Ability to feed credit card data into the system is super helpful.

  • Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
  • It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

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.

  • Global Pricing: Since TripActions has the role of an inventory aggregator, they have to tackle inventory one distributor at a time. If CTrip or MakeMyTrip has better inventory, it won't flow through to TripActions until a deal with them is made.
  • Controls: TripActions is very open in the way it enforces policy - meaning it isn't for every company. If a customer wants more heavy-handed controls, they'll have to go with a competitor.

This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

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

TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to handle their own travel needs within company budgets, rather than relying on a travel coordinator position to handle planning for multiple employees (which had been the approach prior to TripActions).

  • The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
  • It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.
