Glean Analytics
Glean is well suited for any business with multiple vendors and vendor owners/approvers. They help implement controls on approvals/payments that you can't otherwise get in QBO, allow greater visibility across the organization for vendor spend, and cut down on time to manually enter and track invoices.

Melio
In my personal experiences, I would recommend Melio to a friend or colleague but would tell them the pros and the con. Melio has really made payments seem seamless and easy. The fact that one can plan his/her payment schedule in advance and at the same time track it, is a very big relief. In as much as Melio has a lot of good features but it still needs upgrade or update, like the notifications of failed payments and delays.

Melio
  • The simplicity it adds to business payments is a great deal. One feature we really value it the ability to pay vendors by check. Melio prints and mails checks for us which saves time and hassle.
  • Payment scheduling tool is another thing we enjoy. This tool lets us plan ahead and manage cash flow more effectively by setting payment dates in advance.
  • Another thing Melio does well is the tracking of payment.
  • There was a time a vendor claimed that they hadn't been paid, but with just a few clicks we could see the check has already been delivered.
  • This kind of transparency gives us confident and keep things professional.
  • The integration with other platform or accounts like QuickBooks is an experience I did love to keep.

Melio
  • There should be an automatic link between vendors added with their Melio link and the same vendors that already exist in QuickBooks. As it is now, a new vendor is created when you do that and is not linked with the one that already is in QuickBooks.

Alternatives Considered
Glean Analytics
Their cost and billing premise make sense, they allow unlimited users instead of trying to charge you for each and every head, thus allowing you to truly have spend visibility and cost consciousness front of mind for your vendor approvers. Their UI is clean and easy to pick up and understand, even for non-accounting personnel.

Melio is 100% free if you just use ACH, and that by itself would be reason enough for me to stick with the platform, it boats a ton of other useful features that add to the experience.
