Emburse SpringAhead vs. Rydoo

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.

I would recommend it for someone who wanted to track reimbursed expenses or credit card expenses, but there is not enough in Rydoo to work with these two distinct categories of items separately. It is not a good fit for someone looking to have their expenses seamlessly reimbursed (like Expensify). I do recommend it if you need to work with multiple currencies, because it makes that easy.

• Allows for tracking of time very easily. Users can add all their project's time in one place instead of drilling into each project.
• Managers can approve their team's time all in one place. We do not need to drill down to find the info and approve. Users who don't report to the manager but are part of the project can still be approved by the project manager.
• Reports are easy to read when looking at historical information. Reports can be run with multiple parameters that the user needs.

Incentivized

• Saves recent accounts so you do not have to search for them each time you are adding receipts
• Matches transactions quickly
• Reads receipt details accurately

Incentivized

• Automated reminders to employees would be great
• A more modern and up-to-date user interface
• The approvals system for projects vs. users could use some work

Incentivized

• Support responsiveness.
• Features to detail what has actually been reimbursed vs. what has been reported.
• More flexibility in setting approval flows.

When Rydoo is responsive, support is just fine, but there have been times when our requests for support have gone unanswered for more than a day when their queue has indicated response times much shorter than that.

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. We moved off SpringAhead to get more functionality and it has required a lot more training and effort to maintain and utilize

Expensify was easy to use too but I feel like Rydoo does a better job of capturing receipt info with less work on the users end. Also with Rydoo you don't have to create a report, you can just submit expenses as you go. With Expensify you had to create a report first which added extra unnecessary work with no benefits.

Incentivized

• Positive - tracking return on project investments
• Positive - being able to plan on future projects
• Positive - being able to manage costs and attendance

Incentivized

• Rydoo saves time, which saves money. I'm able to make and check expenses quickly.
• Rydoo was easy to learn and integrate. It didn't require lengthly training so it smoothed the onboarding process for new hires.
• Rydoo centralizes internal communication about specific expenses, since you can leave comments.
