Considered Both Products
Sage Expense Management
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 …

Chose Zoho Expense
Zoho Expense is on the lower end with limited features however the cost out weights all the fancy features the others have. As they charge way to much and have limited return on investment. The return on investment for the other platforms is only worth it when operating large …
Chose Zoho Expense
We selected (switched) to Zoho Expense because it had similar features at a lower price and we were able to receive a discount through our partner relationship with another software company. We have considered moving from Zoho Expense to something else recently due to …
Chose Zoho Expense
I've used Concur in the past for managing and submitting expenses. When comparing what I know about Zoho to Concur, Zoho seems to be a more simplified tool focused on simply managing expenses, inputting, tracking, submitting and getting reimbursed. Based on what I know, Zoho …
Chose Zoho Expense
I have only used Expensify before and it stacks up nicely to it. Expensify is probably a bit better, but it's also more expensive, especially if you already use other Zoho products.

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.

Zoho Expense is wonderful when you have a distributed or remote team or workforce that needs to submit expenses reports throughout the month into a single software and approval system. Zoho Expense does make it easy to train, onboard, and use all of the end-user features for submitting and generating expense reports.

  • The program will notify users if they have entered a duplicate charge.
  • Once the end-users understood that receipts were mandatory, attaching those receipts has become second-nature. The app makes it very easy to do so.

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

  • Banking integration should be two ways, once corporate card is paid for, it should close the line item
  • Reports should be available on demand

Ease of use for the simple basic options. I wish the there was an option for reimbursement to be marked separately. Example for all corporate credit expense reports with $0 reimbursements still have to be marked as reimbursed in order to be removed from pending reimbursement section. For the cost the features offer benefits

The only reason I give Zoho a 9 is because of the issue with the Chart of Accounts skewing every time I export/import. I believe this is due to the fact that I use sub-accounts and Zoho cannot differentiate. Still hoping. :)

  • It's included in our Zoho One Subscription which was cheaper than QuickBooks, and we now have so many more options at a much cheaper cost.
