Webexpenses vs. Zoho Expense

Webexpenses is a fantastic online expense solution for any business I think. It means less paperwork, less claims going missing in the post, quicker reimbursement, less receipts lost, great reporting tools and a lot less manual work for both claimants, approvers and Accounts. You can set defaults, e.g. budget code for 1 claim if it's going to be the same. It also helps with PSA reporting, for staff gifts.

easy of use for the end users as well as to manage. The option to add new categories (expenses) and have the end users use them immediately is wonderful. The ease of creating a new user as well as customer support has been great. The customer support while having issues has been quick to resolve any issues

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• The program will notify users if they have entered a duplicate charge.
• Once the end-users understood that receipts were mandatory, attaching those receipts has become second-nature. The app makes it very easy to do so.

Incentivized

• Expense claim feature when it comes to travel and when we have to create in terms of KMS driven it should auto-capture the dates. This can be improved and there is the scope for improvement.
• More tabs can be provided in petty cash expense so you need not type.

Incentivized

• Could have more default options. Instead of making my users select payment method, allow us to default it to one of the options.
• More room for customization by department. My service department needs different categories of expenses then my sales department.

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.

It is easy to manage users, account creation and departments. The reports have important information and for my users and accountants it has been an easy assimilation tool for people of different ages.Which makes it easy for older users to train new users. It is a great tool and has helped us a lot.

Incentivized

Ease of use for the simple basic options. I wish the there was an option for reimbursement to be marked separately. Example for all corporate credit expense reports with $0 reimbursements still have to be marked as reimbursed in order to be removed from pending reimbursement section. For the cost the features offer benefits

There was an unexpected system issue that caused us to have to postpone a user training session at the last minute. Our Webexpenses trainer was not aware that it was going to occur.

The performance is great. Pages and reports load quickly. The data export/import from Webexpenses to our financial software, ACS, is not user friendly, mainly due to ACS import steps

Incentivized

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.

The only reason I give Zoho a 9 is because of the issue with the Chart of Accounts skewing every time I export/import. I believe this is due to the fact that I use sub-accounts and Zoho cannot differentiate. Still hoping. :)

The in person training was excellent because the trainer had an excellent knowledge base and was able to deliver the training with confidence ad. Knowledge and any question that came up they were immediately able to provide the answers based on experience of use and the wealth of knowledge they it comes with

Incentivized

Our trainer spoke very quickly and went through the training material quickly. Since this process was new to us, we missed some important information. We would have benefitted from further training with report generation as well. She did provide a recording of the training, but again, she went through the material very quickly.

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.

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.

We selected (switched) to Zoho Expense because it had similar features at a lower price and we were able to receive a discount through our partner relationship with another software company. We have considered moving from Zoho Expense to something else recently due to continued issues with being able to accurately import credit card charges and organize them correctly be team member. Creating some confusion among users.

Incentivized

Great to use for multiple functions in the business such as personal claims, credit card claims and cash float claims

Incentivized

• Previously you would have to manually scan expenses using a photocopier and have them signed and then put them in an envelope! Big time saving so Consultants can focus on selling.
• Accounts departments require less capacity as its all automated.
• Good tracking of expenses through the dashboard for managers.

Incentivized

• We have had some issues with the credit card reconciliation process which has made our monthly accounting / close process. This has been a negative
• Positive ROI is that team members spend less time on expense reports due to the ease of reporting
• Positive ROI is that substantial training and onboarding is not needed due to the features and simplicity.
