Likelihood to Recommend TripIt is great for anyone who has multiple trips at any given time. It is also very good at tracking multiple reservations automatically on individual trips. It's not appropriate for low volume trips or only short trips. It is also good for sharing itineraries with others. It's not good for calendar views.
Read full review I've used other big name solutions before, but Upside's customer service is really what puts them head and shoulders above the rest. I don't worry about getting someone who has no idea what they're doing when I call Upside - whoever I get is going to be able to answer my questions and get my issues sorted out. That's a huge help
Read full review Pros Itinerary Management - TripIt does a great job collecting all of your travel information, including your flight and hotel information all in one location, so that you don't have to deal with multiple vendor apps, emails, or even printouts of that info. It also handles multiple upcoming trips for even easier management and organization Notifications - TripIt notifies you of changes to your itinerary, such as delays or gate changes, which is great to have that information pushed to you rather than having to constantly look at flight boards for updates. Apple Watch integration - As an Apple Watch user, TripIt has gone the extra mile to provide a useful watch app for travelers, making your travel information available on your wrist. This makes it even easier to catch changes to your itinerary, and not have to juggle a phone while you already have a passport and luggage to worry about! Read full review Customer Support. Our business travel changes in real-time. Sometimes we have to make multiple changes to our travel in one day. The Upside Support team is always there to change the travel, especially when my travelers do not have the time to step away from work to get on the phone with airlines, hotels, and rental car agencies. Travel Tools. From the web site to the phone app, the Upside tools are very easy to use and are very extensive with functionality. Prepay for travel. Prepaying for travel simplifies the booking process and eliminates the need for corporate cards. Read full review Cons Some addresses sometimes do not load (But this is becoming rare these days) Add some color to the icons (again minor improvement) Ability to create cross destination group trips with different cities to have a full overview of the trip and crossover points Read full review Booking travel for non-employees or invited users *could* be easier, but it's not that bad. Adding support for AA Business Extra number as part of company profiles, but they manually check all of our AA reservations to add it.

Read full review Usability For me- Tripit was super easy right out of the gate. Initially, using Concur required a little bit of training.
Read full review Reliability and Availability Ive only had the receipt scan feature crash 1 time; no other issues- in fact the app is more on top of details than I am!!
Read full review Performance pages load fast, notifications are great. up to minute. after deboarding- my next steps are displayed. Syncs with the hotel & frequent flyer rewards programs too.
Read full review Support Rating I have never called their support. That is a great question especially when rolling out into a medium to large organization. Concur is a well-respected company, so I can only suppose their Support is reasonable. I have not experienced their support.
Read full review The support from Upside Business Travel is absolutely amazing. Immediately after you book a flight, you get an email from your representative. You can contact them at any time and get them to help you with anything you need or answer any questions. I have used the support before to get an earlier check-in, change flights, and add a night to my stay.
Read full review Implementation Rating Set up clear workflows & processes for the masses! No problems with software, only end users...haha
Read full review Alternatives Considered TripIt is designed specifically to help individuals manage their travel info in one place. Before I used TripIt, I had to manually save my travel info in a
Google Drive folder, add flights to my personal calendar, then manage multiple airline apps to get flight alerts. TripIt has made my travel much easier.
Read full review I was not a part of the change process, but I am quite happy using Upside over Concur. We were charged just to speak with an agent, and there wasn't an option to communicate online. I love having the chat option with Upside. I do miss the ability to put travel plans on hold to allow colleagues the opportunity to review it before I book, but the pros of Upside far outweigh the cons.
Read full review Scalability Tripit is working great for everyone, each department meeting both company and individual needs.
Read full review Return on Investment It makes it easy to see if your are missing a hotel stay. It makes it easy to see if you are missing a flight. It makes it easy to send reservations to someone's email and have it added to their TripIt. Read full review It has streamlined the process for booking travel for our company. They send me reports instead of me having to create them on my own. It saves time at every turn. Read full review ScreenShots
