Considered Both Products
Brex
Chose Brex
I did not use other products before Brex.
Chose Brex
We use and thoroughly enjoy both. One we use as our main bank and Brex as our credit card provider. I'd say they serve different purposes (with Brex we get points), whereas Mercury we mostly use for wire transfers. We did initially start using Mercury because we needed a …
Chose Brex
Brex was one of the first corporate cards. It seems like there are many copy cats out there - hard to know how different they are but I appreciate Brex's customer service and easy to use UI. I think worth evaluating competitors as this market grows, but we're pretty locked into …
Chose Brex
I was not a decision-maker, but I believe it's the card reporting analysis that is best for the company.
Chose Brex
Divvy allows you to get hyper focused in on how much individuals are allowed to spend. Honestly it is comparable to Brex, but is more well suited for micromanaging organizational spend.

Brex is good because I am able to give my employees limits that match our budgets and I don't …
Chose Brex
Brex has been a great choice for our business and truly is a holistic software solution than a line of credit for a growing business. I also like how Brex is continuing to develop more features rather than maintaining a static product offering.
Sage Expense Management
Chose Sage Expense Management
Features wise both Zoho and Concur are equivalent to Fyle - may be they even offer more features. We picked Fyle particularly because:
a) We are a small organization of less than 200 employees and were looking for a cloud based offering
b) We had to keep our costs minimal without …
Chose Sage Expense Management
Fyle makes life easier with complete transparency of information with a click of a button. I have never experienced such a convenient and system with ease. The expenses are viewed with complete information making it convenient for the approver and the processor. It doesn't …

Likelihood to Recommend
A great corporate card for startups. Easy to use and set up, easy search and track spending. I would recommend it to tech companies looking for an interface and experience that vastly improves on existing banks. Also great to have a large line of credit compared to what's offered traditionally

A business/individual can definitely opt Fyle for their expense tracking and management. In a remote-first, employee first world, it's vital for companies to stay close to employees and make it easier for employees/users to claim reimbursements etc. A cloud software like Fyle is all you need to get started. What more do you need than a robust app that has seen over 50 million dollars being reimbursed to date? While this is the positive use case of Fyle, I think another major use case would be to monitor and track expenses made by employees. It'll help finance teams to see policy violations, make sure the claims are authentic, and reimburse only valid claims. It's intelligent in that way.

Pros
  • Rewards - The rewards were the main reason for us switching. Our previous card provider did not have a good rewards program.
  • User Interface and experience - When a charge is recorded on the Brex card, users immediately receive a text notification asking them to send a picture of their receipt. Brex automatically attaches the receipts to the charge which has saved our users a significant amount of time.

Cons
  • Their Quickbooks integration just updated and is now a nightmare.
  • It would be nice if I got more fraud review activities for my employees.
  • I want them to go back to their old export system into Quickbooks

  • Ability to upload multiple bills at once. The file upload option as of now allows only one file to be uploaded at a time

Usability
The usability is pretty great. I love the UI / UX for uploading the Memo; at times, I do not even need to be inside the platform. I simply use Slack.
