TripIt is a travel management app offered by Concur, which allows users to organize and coordinate travel plans. Editions include a free version, TripIt Pro, and TripIt for Teams.
SAP Concur is much reliable solution compared to peers in the market. In addition to reliability, the capabilities, future roadmap, flexibility and integration with ERP landscape makes it a simpler choice, keeping the architecture clean and following our SAP architecture …
Concur is not fully integrated into SAP ecosystems. If the users have implemented SAP extensively, we could see a big advantage of Concur against these expense and payroll management systems.
We use AmTrav for travel booking and SAP Concur for the expense reporting and approvals. SAP Concur may be a better solution for travel booking, however I have not used it.
SAP Concur is the best choice if you are already in the SAP ecosystem. Other solutions do not generally provide anything more than SAP Concur and from an integration perspective, it is more seamless to use SAP Concur if your main ERP is SAP S4/HANA. This is why we use SAP Concur.
I was not involved in the product evaluation. However, the integration of travel booking, travel expense recording, expense reimbursement payments and status tracking are a high positive for this product. This product allows the employee to set up their own profile, integrates …
I have previously used HRT and indigenously developed software for this. They are no match to SAP Concur as the procedures are lengthy, cumbersome, error prone and lacks visibility. Not to miss out mentioning that the UX is not friendly, despite regularly upgrading the product …
TripIt is cheap and easy to use. While the other apps and way more expensive and not so much easy to use at all. Google had a good travel app but for no reason it was discontinued.
TripIt is designed specifically to help individuals manage their travel info in one place. Before I used TripIt, I had to manually save my travel info in a Google Drive folder, add flights to my personal calendar, then manage multiple airline apps to get flight alerts. TripIt …
I haven't evaluated any others. I have been happy with TripIt so I have not felt the need to find others. I am not really aware of any others. I might eventually looks at others if TripIt stops coming up with enhancements. I have no plans to search yet.
I've tried google trips and Tripcase in the past, but it doesn't work as smooth as TripIt. They sometimes don't recognize the confirmation emails that I forwarded them.
I have not used or evaluated any other tool. Once I forwarded my first email and had it automatically show up in my itinerary, I was sold. There might be some other alternatives worth investigating which I have not used.
Earlier in my review, I talked about how my company implemented Concur and offered TripIt as an add-on. While Concur offers a mobile app that gives you some of your itinerary information, it doesn't have the same focus as a "one-stop-shop" that TripIt does. This is why TripIt …
TripIt has more features and is easier to use. More user-friendly. The pro version has several other benefits such as the ability to look for alternate flights and track reward points, seating, airport wait times for security, lounge buddy credit, more real-time updates, fares …
SAP Concur is great for large organizations because of it's built in approval process functions. It is great tool for expense reports and any company where employees need to book travel. I imagine that the tool would be more tricky to use for those who are less technically savvy since there are many tabs and it is sometimes tricky to navigate.
TripIt is one of those business apps that, while not strictly required, represents a huge quality of life improvement for those of us who travel regularly for work. Capturing your itinerary information in one place, so you have one point of reference is a great benefit. When you couple that with relevant notifications about your itinerary, and an Apple Watch app for quick at-a-glance information about your travel plans, you really can't beat it. Highly recommended.
Data syncing between the mobile app and the web platform may occasionally experience a little delay. That is not a major problem, but it can cause small inconsistencies in real-time data.
Concur's setup features may seem a little complicated to certain administrators.
Concur offers a number of powerful reporting services, but some users might want more in-depth options for tailoring reports to their own business requirements.
Now that we are fully on Concur, switching is not an option. Concur has become ingrained in our expense reporting process. Furthermore, Concur continues to improve its offering. Each month, they release updates and changes, many of which were client requested. Concur's constant evolution means it is adapting with my business
I have been using it for a while now and I did renew it every year because it is the best way for me to keep my travel plans in one place with easy visualization
I think it is very easy to use, especially once you are acquainted with it. I think the UX could be improved so some things, like accessing old reports, are more intuitive once you learn it though it is not difficult to replicate.
It is very easy to use and you can combine with Apple Watch por easier usage. Also, it can be synchronised with your gmail for automatically update your travel plans and that ways is even more helpful.
In prior years I would have given them a 9.5 for availability. Unfortunately in 2015 so far this rating has dropped to a 7 overall. We have experienced far too many interruptions - from admins to employees who rely on it for day to day booking of travel and submission of expense reports. Server errors, slow system response time and spinning wheels are too common place. Those things should be a rare occurrence, not a daily interruption.
While Conur still has great product offerings overall, they are currently not offering world class or best in class product (and customer service) availability. Remaining hopeful they step up and get their A game going again soon.
Performance-wise, it's good, loads pages quickly, and reports are highly accurate and easy to understand. Also, we can generate custom reports as needed, and we have integrated with a few other apps, and we have not seen any downgrade in performance.
pages load fast, notifications are great. up to minute. after deboarding- my next steps are displayed. Syncs with the hotel & frequent flyer rewards programs too.
I have never had to use customer support when using Concur Expense - the UX could be a bit nicer on the eyes or easier to understand, but there have never been any problems when using Concur Expense that I have had to ask or reach out to customer support to help me with anything.
This rating is solely based on information I've gotten for TripIt's self-help options. I've never had to contact them directly for support. Nonetheless, their online FAQ and knowledgebase have provided answers to all the questions I've had, including the lack of a boarding pass feature that I mentioned earlier in my review. All in all, I've had no issues here.
My Seniors were the ones who taught me about Concur. Concur Support team has sent me training links and answered me in their tickets too. Usually they are helpful and knows their stuff. There are times when webex meetings is conducted for reporting training. They were very patient and took down all the details from me.
There are different implementation teams for each module of the product you purchase, so implementation is not a 'one size fits all' environment. Also, the different implementation teams have different ways of doing things, so Concur could stand some standardization and streamlining in this area. A Project Manager can make or break an implementation so don't be scared to ask for a new one if things are rocky.
Sirion One has very limited functionality. SAP Concur goes seamlessly with SAP. It generates the SAE file, which feeds the GL Posting. SAP Concur has huge network of all the travel partners providing multiple options and range depending on organization strategy. It is easily linked with Outlook calendar, prompting user for all travel related activities and news.
I haven't evaluated any others. I have been happy with TripIt so I have not felt the need to find others. I am not really aware of any others. I might eventually looks at others if TripIt stops coming up with enhancements. I have no plans to search yet.
This program has been very helpful, user friendly and has been a great asset to use to assist with time management. Not only are leadership involved with using this program but all staff as well. This is also a great way to hold each accountable. Easy startup with not many means for hands on training
It makes the entire process of expense management crystal clear and thus helps in maintaining the trust of the employees, and thereby having good rapport of the company among the employees.
It helps in detecting the duplicate bills, thereby saving lots of money of the company.
It also helps in payment audits and thereby it helps in improving the overall process.
