Considered Both Products

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 …

TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to …
Chose Navan
TripActions destroys Concur. TripActions is way more user friendly and has a ton more functionality. No comparison.
Chose Navan
We used Corporate Traveler in the past. It was nice to have a dedicated travel agent, but with an organization, our size TripActions has been the best option!
Chose Navan
I personally believe that TripActions is ahead of the game here. They're always pushing out additional features and their functionality never seems to fail.
Chose Navan
I like TripActions more because everything is on a mobile app that is super user-friendly. The customer service team is also world class-I genuinely have never felt so taken care of. More so, Concur Travel and Expense never rewarded me for traveling, while I made over 200 …
Chose Navan
TripActions has superior UI, better inventory, pretty much better in every way.
Chose Navan
TripActions have less shady tricks and hidden fee but the same or better selection and price, save time.
Chose Navan
TripActions stacks up exceptionally when comparing against similar tools such as Nexonia, or Certify. Both of which I have used at prior Sales Orgs. With expense tools, it all comes down to the mobile application. If you're traveling at all for your role/job, you will …
Chose Navan
Not a fan of TripIt at all. TripActions is clearly the superior product in giving vast rewards and benefits for business travel. TripIt has seamless integration with Concur but is not user-friendly at all.
Chose Navan
TripActions is better in every way. Support, ease of use, benefits to me, as well as just the ability to compare options easily in a variety of different ways. It easily links to my travel rewards programs which is nice so I can get the benefits even when booking with my …
Chose Navan
I think TripActions is better since visually it is easier to review the trip. The appeal to the eye is nice.
Chose Navan
Definitely the look, feel and usability.
Chose Navan
TripActions is far superior to Egencia in terms of ease of use and customer support. I would not recommend Egencia for company use.
Chose Navan
They are not built for enterprises, not as intuitive, easy or organized
Chose Navan
Concur was very hard to use and most of my team didn't like using it. It was not user-friendly like TripActions.
Chose Navan
User-friendly interface. TripActions is extremely intuitive and easy to use, with tabs, graphics, chat, etc. Bonuses for individuals. The Amazon bonuses are a best seller.
Chose Navan
We evaluated a number of products and landed on TripActions... flexibility about company policy; deployment of iPhone app and its integration with Expensify were key.
Chose Navan
We realized there was a lot of money being spent on travel and hotel accomadations, and there was no way to cap how much an employee was spending. This has solved many business problems by visually explaining the correct amount someone should be spending on flights and hotels, …
Chose Navan
We did not have a good experience with Concur. It was difficult to use and outdated. I spent many days helping our travelers try to find the correct flights on Concur, or helping them troubleshoot errors. TripActions was a huge improvement and both myself and our travelers …

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.

TripActions is absolutely useful for any outside sales teams and companies that promote or offer a lot of travel. If the sales team travels as much as ours does, it's worth the investment. If travel is not something that most of your company has on a monthly to quarterly basis, I do not think that TripActions would be well suited for that environment

  • Provides a wide range of travel options within a wide budget.
  • It is reliable - if a trip gets canceled, they are quick to contact their customer and help sort out additional booking details to get you to your final destination.

Cons
  • Ability to upload multiple bills at once. The file upload option as of now allows only one file to be uploaded at a time
Read full review
  • Global Pricing: Since TripActions has the role of an inventory aggregator, they have to tackle inventory one distributor at a time. If CTrip or MakeMyTrip has better inventory, it won't flow through to TripActions until a deal with them is made.
  • Controls: TripActions is very open in the way it enforces policy - meaning it isn't for every company. If a customer wants more heavy-handed controls, they'll have to go with a competitor.

This decision overall isn’t made by me. The company evaluates the product. While I am an influencer the overall review is my personal opinion and mine only. The company books flights or would like for us to book flights through trip actions everything else is suggested but done with a personal cc which makes it optional. My option will be to not use TripActions for anything personally.

TripActions is the first platform of its kind used by the company. Our director of Domestic Sales selected TripActions after evaluating other platforms (the names of which I do not know). His objective was to streamline travel planning, so that individual users are able to handle their own travel needs within company budgets, rather than relying on a travel coordinator position to handle planning for multiple employees (which had been the approach prior to TripActions).

  • The ability to change flights while I am on the road in meetings. They actually call the agents for me.
  • It has put money back in my pocket with the Amazon rewards and my company has saved money by me booking the less expensive options.
