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.

Webexpenses is well suited for payroll to easily track workforce expenses and reducing hours of manual work from approving and processing the submitted claims. I have to highlight the automated custom report generating, which suits any needs to see reports for our teams. At our organization there is no sceniario, where Webexpenses would be less appropriate.

Pros
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.

  • imports credit card transactions from our corporate card program without issue
  • allows for easy set up of new users
  • is a very intuitive, easy to learn tool
  • has a very responsive support and customer service team
  • Set up and configuration was thorough, and they were able to work through our unique issues, such as custom segments in NetSuite.
  • It is a very inexpensive product. Well worth the cost.

Cons
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.

  • Would be nice if claims could be organised into certain chronological orders i.e. ordered by date so I don't have to copy and delete claims when adding a claim in that has an earlier date
  • Would be ideal to have an option to save full routes rather than just addresses maybe?

I like the interface. I am familiar with functionality. Convenient to send ACH payments.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the market at the same price point that is better, however if there is an interrupter in the market that provides better value, then we would heavily assess the cost of change to see if we should move on to the alternative offering.

Usability
Melio
Melio has been a very important tool in the advancement of our business. With great features, it has made payments to vendors seamless and hassle free. In terms of vendor management, account/data tracking, and scheduling of payments in advance. This has formed the base that we are still with Melio till today.

I think this is an easy to use and effective system for expense management. I like how I can upload images and documents directly from my phone onto the mobile app. It's beneficial for continuity that the app and the web browser work the same, and I can save claims to come back to later if I wish.

The soft ware is reliable. The phone app works well and allows you to upload evidence, receipts, log mileage and log expenses. It works well and is rarely locked or there are very few times the app is down. The laptop based software is easy to access and again is always available

The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.

It was difficult to train multiple people via video, as they learned at different speeds, and most of the user champions were not as capable with systems and finance processes as our dept.

As long as you have people that are fully aware of the setup steps to get users into the software then I would see no issues arising for any company.

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.

I would have to say that Webexpenses does not stack up well in comparison to Expensify. If given a choice, I would choose Expensify for the best user experience and mobile / desktop being more seamless. It accomplishes the same thing but has a more modern, minimal, and streamlined feel to it.

  • Easy integration with your existing finance / accounting software.
  • Lot of time is being saved in maintaining records and now going completely online.
  • Love the option of Scan receipts with Google-vision-powered optical character. This also resulted in less use of paper in our office.
