    Chose Webexpenses
    I've used Databasics before, amongst a few other expense systems which I forget the name of. This is by an absolute mile the easiest platform I have ever used, and has saved me so much time - which has allowed me to inject my time and energy into my actual job.

    Basware
    The system it self and its functionality is great. Most screens and work flows are easy to understand and use without any training. Its usually obvious what the next step is for the user, e.g adding coding, review etc. The information shown to the user is also built in a good way and the overall "feel" of the system is among best in market. Some of the admin parts require Basware AP Automation help, even though you technically can do it yourself as admin, the documentation available is not enough to help you through it.

    Webexpenses is well suited for payroll to easily track workforce expenses and reducing hours of manual work from approving and processing the submitted claims. I have to highlight the automated custom report generating, which suits any needs to see reports for our teams. At our organization there is no sceniario, where Webexpenses would be less appropriate.

    • is a very intuitive, easy to learn tool

    Cons
    Basware
    • There needs to be an easier way to view past invoices as the current method requires that you select from the pull-down menu each and every time
    • Instructions for the more commonly used features should be available within the program itself rather than having to search the online help index in order to find this information (bubble pop ups would be nice)
    • More functionality should be build into the invoice processing system (you should be able to forward via email, include screenshots, etc)

    • Allow money returns from an advance to be reflected in the advance balance. If an employee settles an advance by returning cash, it does not reflect that in the system.

    • Would be nice if claims could be organised into certain chronological orders i.e. ordered by date so I don't have to copy and delete claims when adding a claim in that has an earlier date
    • Would be ideal to have an option to save full routes rather than just addresses maybe?

    We will continue using product and continue renewing as it is widely used product and it has been well adapted by users in our organization. The product is expensive but we will use it. Hopefully the product bugs will be fixed in future and they will provide more HA architecture feather for Basware.

    There doesn't seem to be anything in the market at the same price point that is better, however if there is an interrupter in the market that provides better value, then we would heavily assess the cost of change to see if we should move on to the alternative offering.

    Usability
    Basware
    The GUI and workflows are easy to understand. It makes sense where the "buttons" and menus are located. Design is overall getting improvements constantly as well, so there is updates coming all the time. System is quick, few bugs and errors that cause issues. Up time and accessibility is on a very good level.

    I think this is an easy to use and effective system for expense management. I like how I can upload images and documents directly from my phone onto the mobile app. It's beneficial for continuity that the app and the web browser work the same, and I can save claims to come back to later if I wish.

    The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.

    I would have to say that Webexpenses does not stack up well in comparison to Expensify. If given a choice, I would choose Expensify for the best user experience and mobile / desktop being more seamless. It accomplishes the same thing but has a more modern, minimal, and streamlined feel to it.
