Thomson Reuters
It is extremely suitable for the client since for us they are all US-based companies, even though the main headquarters of our business is in Mexico.

It is less appropriate in terms of usability than taxes, since it does not include adaptability to Mexican legislation, and its deployment through customizations and reports is extremely expensive.

It is very well suited to track the expenses which employees use in an organization and if any employees are using business accounts. It has multiple integrations with other applications and we can customize it as per our needs.

Usability
Thomson Reuters
The platform is stable even though a version for MacOS is also missed.

In general, the user management and administration process is intuitive and once the roles are defined it is simple and easy.

However, the user experience has become out of date in relation to other web-based platforms currently available on the market.
