I've used Concur and Egencia in other companies. Upside is more user-friendly than Concur, which can sometimes be complicated with the number of menus you have to go through. It's so far ahead of the experience I had with Egencia, I can't even describe it. Egencia's customer …

Upside Business Travel is, for sure, more natural to use. Expensify is a great tool, but most of the time, it takes me a while to figure out how to import an expensive. The user interface on Upside Business Travel is a whole lot clearer and easier to use. Expensify has all …

We didn't previously have a travel solution as most of the things we had looked into were targeting larger organizations.
Chose Upside Business Travel
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 …

Upside Business Travel
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

Pros
Upside Business Travel
  • 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.

Cons
Upside Business Travel
  • 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.

Support Rating
Upside Business Travel
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.

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.
