Considered Both Products
Expensify
Chose Expensify
I didn’t have a choice on selection but I’ve used other products in the past that weren’t as easy to use or learn and didn’t adapt as easily to the reimbursement process.
Chose Expensify
Our core need was only expense management, and not spend control. Our primary need was to manage and approve expense reimbursements (especially for teams without corporate cards).
Chose Expensify
Our bank offers an option for tracking company credit card information and receipts through their data portal. Expensify is much more user-friendly and since we already use Expensify for personal reimbursements, it did not make any sense to introduce a new portal for users. …
Chose Expensify
Expensify and Concur are similar products, but we ultimately went with Expensify because of its more robust sync options (e.g., syncs to more systems easily) and was more cost-effective for the number of users we have set up (between 50-100). I haven't used Concur to any great …
Chose Expensify
I have only used Expensify.
Chose Expensify
I like the user experience best of Expensify because it was the quickest and easiest for me to do what I needed to get done.
NetSuite ERP
Chose NetSuite ERP
NetSuite ERP has better revenue recognition module and has a consolidations module that the other softwares may lack or may have very basic tools. NetSuite ERP has great list of connections with bridges with other softwares and that makes NetSuite ERP great ERP. NetSuite ERP
Chose NetSuite ERP
Some of the we use, it seems that NetSuite is starting to close the gap vs other external applications in terms of features which is good but at the same time, some of those required a significant investment so i would not be able to switch easily given the heavy investment. …
Chose NetSuite ERP
I have used NetSuite, Intacct and QuickBooks. If I were building an accounting function (budget aside), I would always pick NetSuite as my ledger. I think it is far superior to other general ledger softwares on the market. NetSuite also has so mean features, modules and …
Chose NetSuite ERP
NetSuite is far superior to these. NetSuite allows for integration with many other products making it very customizable. NetSuite is also much easier to use and set up as the user likes to make their process easier and more automated. NetSuite also makes it easier to have …

Expensify
I think it's really good for small businesses. At least in the way we use it. It's very good for keeping an eye on employee spending in nearly real time. I'm not sure how it works for larger companies when there is a larger number of people to keep track of.

NetSuite
It is suited well for its scalability and offerings of options as you need them. Auditing Where lesser ERPs require multiple 3rd party connections to get certain functionality, NetSuite ERP offers it as part of the core already or as an advanced feature you can opt into. It is still a part of the NetSuite environment and managed by NetSuite.

Pros
Expensify

NetSuite
  • Tracks fixed assets and debt activity for month end rollforwards.
  • Creates a solid audit trail and supporting documentation path for anyone to follow, internally or externally (auditor).
  • Maintains reporting structure and workflow processes for better implementation as training or process improvement/overhaul.

Cons
Expensify
  • I wish that I could sync accounts on the back end kind of like with banking software, so that Expensify would automatically port over receipts for recurring expenses as soon as they're available
  • It would be nice to one-click submit an expense all the way through instead of having to attach it to a report
  • Wackier profile icons? :) Not a big deal. This software is pretty much amazing as it is now, and typically the urge to update and modify very good software leads to poor outcomes!

NetSuite
  • I have found it to be a bit slow sometimes when saving.
  • I am not sure if this is Chase Bank or NetSuite, but a direct link to upload bank transactions or credit card transactions would be nice.
  • This is too hard, bc Netsuite works really well.

NetSuite is able to cover all of our needs, spanning multiple departments and managerial levels. We use it daily for a multitude of functions, including creating promotions, estimating inventory, pulling historical reports, forecasting sales, and more. Overall, we're very satisfied with NetSuite as an ERP solution and recommend it to medium to large businesses.

Usability
Expensify
My rating of 8 out of 10 for Expensify's overall usability reflects its strong performance in empowering individual users and streamlining core expense processes, while acknowledging that there are specific areas, particularly on the administrative or enterprise side, where the user experience could be further refined. Exceptional End-User Experience (for basic tasks).Automation & Time-Saving Features.Clear Workflow for Approvers. Why it's not a perfect 10 (areas for improvement that dock points): Limited corporate bank to choose from, limited multi-currency to pay to ( for instance, as a foreign corporatio,n i cannot pay with my US account to Israeli employees, or pay to our UK employees)

NetSuite is a cloud tool, and is easy to implement for mid-sized organizations. It comes with standard forms/ printing layouts, and financial reporting (both summary and detailed), which are very handy for business users. In addition to these, with 99.99% service availability, NetSuite makes it one of the most reliable ERP tools available on the market.

Most of the time the performance is very good. Pages load in a few seconds; financial reports take less than 5 seconds; basic searches take a few seconds. But performance can be sporadic throughout the day and cause the run time to triple.

Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer.

I would like to give 8 rating for NetSuite support and reason for that is below: Whenever we faced any technical or functional issues we tried to reach out to NEtSuite support but response was not immediate. We told them about the urgency of the issue but still we were not getting response on time. Then, we have to reach out to AE to get things resolved.

Implementation Rating

The implementation process went rather smoothly, linking it to the bank and cards was handled easily. without too many unnecessary steps. Getting the accounts setup did take some time, but that would be true with any organization. All in all things went smoothly and I was very pleased with the setup and implementation process

NetSuite
I felt NetSuite Professional Services did an excellent job of guiding us in the implementation. I also felt our internal teams were a little resistant to the change and engagement of new software. Had we performed better engaging and buying into the new software, I would be able to rate the implementation better. Therefore, the lower number should not be viewed as a deficiency with the software or the professional services teams, but as an reminder of how important complete buy-in from the local users is.

It is definitely 10 times better than using an Excel spreadsheet. We are talking a digitized with AI type capabilities to do the work for you. It’s honestly a lifesaver. This beats manual calculations and data entry any day. Scanning 100 receipts and saving them to pdf files not only takes space on your storage but it is an extra unnecessary step

Advanced features that Netsuite had. Easy integration with other financial and CRM systems. Implementation and governance can be easy handled. Easy to maintain and support. Handles very high volume of data. More new features are in pipeline. As it is used across many company and around the globe, it has good community, so no resource constraint.

  • We went from paying credit card fees with no approval process to a no fees and complex approval processes.
  • I personally save time in not having to develop a spend report I just have my admin assistent fill in the details of the auto generated report and it is done. Went from an hour long process to 5- 10 minutes max to prepare a high quality audit ready report.
