I think Harpoon works best for freelancers, consultants, self employed people and smaller companies with less client to bill. For larger enterprises with hundreds or thousands of clients, there are larger, more intricate platforms in the market that are better suited for those needs.

Cons
Emburse
  • Synchronisation errors list should be available to download
  • Synchronisation fails for whole timesheet when there is one error and we need to hunt for the particular one. It will be better if it fails only the one that has errors
  • Downtime during monthend close timelines occasionally

  • Sometimes expense reporting bring up duplicate transactions, which may be more of a fault of the API that connects my account, which is Plaid
  • Would be nice if in the future, they can offer ACH as one of the payment options for invoices
  • There are some redundancies that pop up when setting time frames for client work and the projects attached to them. If they aren't aligned, it can cause inaccurate reporting. If it just sent it once and it took care of both functions, it would be easier

Support Rating
Emburse
I was not talking directly with the customer support. My understanding was that, there was some maintenance on the platform but it was never inconvenient for employee or during pick time when employee would put their expenses in the tool. To that extent, I think the support for Nexonia is correct

The few times I've needed help or had questions about the platform, the founder got back to me. And fairly fast. The extra effort resonated well with me

Alternatives Considered
Emburse
As mentioned earlier in the several questions, Emburse Nexonia is easy to use compared to all the above applications. Integration is easy and plenty of automation opportunities in Emburse Nexonia. Capturing a time sheet is an additional option that no other application has this feature which is a key aspect in any org. to do variance analysis.

I've used Less Accounting and & Quickbooks Online. After Less Accounting was acquired, its development was mostly stopped. While the tool was a simple way to manage invoices and expenses, its directional philosophy changed with the new owners. Quickbooks Online was a solid tool, but the company support was unhelpful and hard to work with at times. Harpoon provides a great tool, with a company that cares about its users.
