Pros

It's a nice incentive to encourage cost savings for the company and really nice for employees if you aren't too particular about your lodgings.
The ease of use and functionality is great and it makes it easy to track where your reports are at and when it has been approved.
I really enjoy expensify and everything it encapsulates. It's easy, and quite frankly, effective and I recommend to everyone.

Pros

The Tech support is very good and very willing to help if you have any kind of issues.
I love that receipts auto attach and that you can create specific rules per person or department. It has streamlined our processes and ease of expense management.
Excellent and most user friendly Expense Reimbursement platform.

Cons

Our company have multiple entities in the US and in EU and expensify does not support this, the integration with xero is a mess i don't understand how does it work...My overall experience is bad.
Criminal billing practices. I barely used the software and they are charging me for a year subscription and won't let me cancel.
They violate their own privacy policy by sending out non-product related information to their customer base. This violates the agreement that they make you sign.

Cons

So many features are not working properly or missing. If you are a cafe or restaurant this system may work for you.
Terrible Customer Service. Abacus-Emburse makes frequent software updates and does not test before release.
It frustrates rather than enhance outlook. The product is outrageously priced for what we are able to do.

Expensify

Worst Customer Support In the Industry!

Reviewed 5 years ago

This company invests NOTHING in their support. While it may be a simple system from the employee side, it's a complete mess for administrators. There are hundreds of nuances and settings that you have to dig through and spend dozens of hours reading their incomplete and oversimplified support documentation. All of this could be circumvented with a 5 minute phone call. In fact, if it wasn't for their...

Pros

Employees will find most features relatively straightforward.

Cons

They need to seriously improve their customer support. It's messaging ONLY and the support staff takes HOURS to respond and when they do, it's completely off the mark. Their support staff is based in Australia and only work SUNDAYS to THURSDAYS U.S. time.
