User Testimonials
	BILL Spend & Expense	Emburse SpringAhead
Likelihood to Recommend	Divvy is well suited for almost any organization/business I can think of. If you need to spend money from a specific predetermined budget, Divvy works great. If you have a high volume of transactions and you're fairly decent with excel, you can create an upload file to move transactions into your general ledger (currently only QB is supported for plug ins). If I'm really trying to find a less appropriate example, maybe if you have employees who can have a large credit limit and need to travel a lot, an Amex card might have better benefits. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's definitely well suited for all organizations with knowledge workers who use computers to do their work and are able to log in and enter their time on a regular basis. I've always had access to it as part of my job and love using SpringAhead. It may be less appropriate in a role where the worker does not have regular access to a computer to enter their hours digitally.

Pros	BILL is a really user friendly system - very easy to onboard people into. We love BILL's rewards system and the ability to redeem for travel or gift cards. BILL offers a sync option with QuickBooks that has been invaluable for our finance processes. Ruth Ann Moss Executive Director Read full review	Tracking Time Across Projects Tracking Time Across Pay Periods Dashboard view of time tracked weekly Easy Reporting Over Extended Timeperiod Incentivized AK Ambrish Kochikar Talent Acquisition Consultant Read full review
Cons	Logging into more than one company or ease of logging into more than one company at a time. Instant messaging system to work with employees on particular transactions. Being able to collect rewards on a monthly basis and having the option to get it in the form of a statement credit. JE John Enns Credit card admin Read full review	The reporting is not perfect. When I am trying to find history for one person it is very cumbersome to get the info you need. At the current use there is no integration with an expense tracking tool. We had a separate app to track expenses vs. time. Only resources on the project can view time. External customers could not log in to see users' time against the project. Instead they waited for invoices or status reports. Incentivized Massimo Emilione Systems Analyst Read full review
Usability	The Divvy card provides convenience and flexibility for Finance to manage and monitor each user's transactions at any time. User can issue many virtual cards for different purposes. Transactions can be easily approved. Since we can monitor transaction closely, fraud can be prevented effectively. Mobile app is user friendly and safe.

Support Rating	We have enjoyed using Divvy and its functions. The Divvy team has been great, and their support team is outstanding. They have a chatbox on the platform, and they only seem to be someone on call. I have found its benefits to be outstanding, that I recommend it to my clients. I also feel that Divvy rolling out new features only makes it more compelling to stay on as a user. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Bill Spend & Expense and Ramp are pretty comparable, but we ended up making the change to Ramp based on three factors: 1. The actual receipt or invoice uploads into Sage Intacct, so when reviewing financials, everything is in one place. 2. The cashback program was much simpler and a higher rate than what we were getting. 3. We were bringing our A/P processing into a cloud solution, and wanted to be able to have them on the same one as our credit cards. This fact, combined with point 1, and just a slightly different payment flexibility, made the difference for us. Leaving out those points, which might not matter as much to someone else in a different situation, Bill Spend and Expense is a solid solution for anyone. Incentivized Rebecca Miller Assistant Controller Read full review	We selected SpringAhead because of price and usability. This tool is easy to set up and configure. It is a cloud application allowing access from anywhere. There were no training requirements. When you have a small use case this tool is the way to go.

Return on Investment	Immediate ROI for any company who wants their teams to focus on driving new revenues, creating great products or over delivering to customers - instead of chasing receipts 30 days behind. Ease of use and a great sales and tech support team at Divvy ensure successful onboarding with each and every employee. Immediate ROI from being able to have an agile budgeting process - cashflows improve immediately when budget spend is captured in real-time, and new opportunities are captured when approvals are that easy.
