Really intuitive tool that groups all expenses providing clarity for the submitter and the approver. Also suited with analytics that allow quick overview of spending and show where and when spending is occurring. the pre approval and post approval process gives a really strong sense of compliance and reinforces the control environment the company looks for.

Sales force, international commuters or travellers. Companies with multi layer hierarchical structures to leverage on the approval layers potential. It’s clearly a tool that requires good preparation and customisation. when there’s a cross functional environment it’s really useful to find hotels and flights and the mobile app is very helpful

In a company that relies heavily on SAP solutions it would only make sense to leverage the integration of concur. Versus other systems concur relies on a quick and easy integration for master data and policies but as well with credit card providers. The integration of travel, hotels, policies, invoice, bookings and also the mobile app are top notch.
SAP S/4HANA.
the integration makes a seamless transition from a manual process to a fully integrated expense reporting system. Concur integrates very well but also contains tools for analytics, reports, approval flows that are linked with workday and other Human Resources systems. Can’t imagine a business world without a system like this to manage expenses.
Centralising all travel & entertainment in one tool integrated with ERP and analytics. Normal day of a pharmaceutical company has thousands of credit card expenses that need to be reviewed, framed in a policy, approved, paid, and accurately accounted for in accounting. The integration makes this whole process seamless differently from before
Admin work has reduced. The handling of documentation, administrative processes for booking, reservation, cancelling, price benchmark and proposals, management of booking and Amadeus platforms it’s really helpful to be a one stop shop for an employee to be quick and efficient while managing travel and entertainment inclusive of customer business meals

The Concur Travel and Expense app is utilized by every individual on our team. Some have their corporate card attached, however, personally, I do not have a corporate card and just attach receipts (or screenshots of payments) from my personal credit card. We use this for mostly travel, or client meetings. This app helps our finance team disperse money across the teams in a quick and easy way.
  • The client support for travel is amazing, there hasn't been one time where I haven't been able to get weekend service to change a Monday flight to Sunday etc. They are always nice and willing to help, I've never had a bad experience there.
  • I LOVE that Concur allows you to take screenshots of your receipts rather than keep the receipts. I lose them ALL THE TIME.
  • The site layout is easy to use and manageable. The user experience is great there, and I like when it saves my most used expense reasonings.
  • It's really hard to find past expenses... I'm not sure if it's just me or if it's just hard to navigate on the site where the past expenses are.
  • If Concur could have the same guidelines for every company as far as what you can and can't do with expenses that would be great. Or have a training per company on the side bar. I've gotten my reports sent back before just because I didn't have the right information.
  • Some of the tabs are confusing like "available reports" and "open reports", why would I ever leave a report open if it's due once a month?
I personally think every company should have Concur. How else are they going to refund expenses? In every situation that I've used it it's been helpful and easy. However, the thought of doing expenses gives me anxiety. I should definitely download the app and take pictures as I go...

  • Increasing ROI... I mean I'm sure everyone is happy getting refunded their money when they spend company funds.
  • I would say that every company should invest in Concur, specifically because it's an easy way for finance to approve or disapprove certain expenses.
  • Concur doesn't have any type of influence on our business objective other than making sure we are budgeting for the company correctly. Since being purchased by a PE firm, it was helpful for our company to see where our funds were going and concur helped in doing that.
I've never used any products similar to concur. Because it's the best one on the market :) If I'm being honest, I've used concur for the past 4 years at my current and previous company and I don't know if it's because nothing compares or if it's just that good of a user experience.
We have Concur integrated into Okta, which basically just means we have single sign on to get us into the account. We also have deals through the owner of our company Apollo Global management where we get better discounts and such through flights and hotels. It's a pretty nice integration, but doesn't make the product complicated to use.
When I think of Concur and Innovation, I honestly think of the discounts I get through flights by booking with Concur. Also the support has helped me multiple times when it comes to booking multi person flights, which makes my life and others around me SO MUCH EASIER. I'd say that's a pretty innovative thing that not many companies will do with their customer support lines.
It's a fast, easy, non-stressful experience when using Concur. I think that benefits the organization wholeheartedly because we are here to get work done, not to spend hours on a product trying to book travel to get the work done! It just makes life easier knowing that it's an efficient way to book travel and accomidations.
I'm a UX Designer so I love seeing how usable products actually are and how well clients feedback is incorporated for ease of use. You do a great job here! Exceptional.

Group travel is something that has benefited our company in the past while using concur travel. Ensuring that we get the best price for the whole team is we are all going somewhere, and ensuring we can all get into the same location and get the same flights.
Concur just doesn't disappoint in any way. I've utilized the tool at every company I've worked for and never had ANY issues with it. The customer service is also amazing.
Specifically because I've never used anything else to be completely honest.

Successes, booking travel hotel and expensing. I've never had an instance where I've had a failure. I did learn how to change bookings quickly and efficiently through support.

They represent multiple business functions, everyone from VP to individual contributor has access to concur to utilize for their travel expenses. However, the VP level have an executive assistant who set up the majority if not all of their travel for work purposes. Therefore I assume executive leadership does not utilize concur as often.
We utilize Concurs customer support channels, so I don't believe anyone in house actually supports the product from the inside. Every time I've had questions about concur or needed any sort of support I've contacted the corporate support line in which we pay for and they help me without question! They are always helpful and lovely to work with.

Concur was used for Expense management as well as Travel at both Omniture and Adobe. It was then integrated into SAP at both locations. It was used company wide by Omniture (ticker" OMTR) who was then bought by Adobe. Adobe like most other Fortune 500 companies was using Concur / SAP and that made transition all the better for both parties. Under the guidance of the CFO was asked to evaluate T/E software. I looked at the top five that were the most well known.
  • Integration in to Anything. Concur will integrate into almost any package in the world. Making manual journal entries from outside systems a thing of the past. There are a robust set of API's that will accommodate the quick books install and easily handle the SAP / Oracle install.
  • Travel: Once your rules are in place for travel management Concur not only takes care of all the work, it will enforce the rules. If a flight is 500 dollars cheaper and it see that you still selected a flight with your preferred carrier, your superior is notified and you have to explain why. That's one feature that could pay for the install in most companies.
  • Mobile: The mobile suite of products will impress anyone. The ease of use and simplistic yet elegant design of the mobile apps assure a high adoption rate by all.
  • Workflow: Few competitors can rival Concur's rule based engine. These rules make things like SOX easy to evidence.
  • Compliance: Audits can be cheaper and cost of concur used to offset them. How? Because concur can go directly to many of the vendors and provide evidence (Receipt) with out an end user being able to manipulate it, the sample sizes chosen in an audit will be smaller. That's a small item but there are many others that are too exhaustive for this review. Summed up though, the system is closed end to end from and audit POV and that means smaller samples can be taken and that results in a cheaper audit. All of the BIG FOUR firms are extremely familiar with Concur and that makes things easier as well. Our particular partner (ENY) already had scripts that could read from concur. Again, making it faster and cheaper for the audit. This is perhaps one of the areas that are most often overlooked.
  • Finding a weakness in Concur is hard. Concur implementation could be challenging for companies with NO IT department. How many very small companies don't have the expertise to integrate into their accounting package? The likely scenario is that they are so small they would not need it.
  • Again, finding a weakness is difficult in Concur. If I could dig enough into the development, I may find a bug or two, but top to bottom the product is as strong as you will find.
Concur is suited for most companies but in particular those that are processing lots of expense reports with any amount of travel. Concur's cost may seem expensive on the surface. When combined with travel and the reduced entries and approvals with workflow into an accounting package, the costs are easily absorbed into the savings. While smaller companies can take advantage of Concur and especially the travel rules that will save them money, it is the enterprise that reaps the advantages.
  • Concur allowed the company to close a full day faster. So many times, companies are rushing through the month end close. Concur allowed the process to be done one full day sooner. This was a huge win that many thought was possible but were not willing to use as ROI until it was confirmed.
  • EFFICIENCY: Previously many reports were done and were consistently late, and mis-categorized. Because Concur can book expenses almost 'on the fly' for users and the accounting department, it was able to almost completely eliminate reports that were chronically late by the same individuals....Translation: Concur was easy to use, Adoption was 100% and reports were instantly sent in.
  • Adoption: Many times, companies use software and do not receive a high adoption rate. With concur, you will have 100% adoption. The excel sheets go away and executives can even do their own expense reports because to the ease and simplicity of creating a report.
During the comparison I looked at Expesnsify, SAP's T/E module and a few others. There is simply no match for Concur. I would say that many other products can rival Concur in the expense area but the two particular areas to be aware of are 1) Travel (compliance and prices) 2) Work Flow (rules engine and approval process) 3) Reporting (Concur uses a Cognos based engine that will do just about anything users could need that was not being sent to an EDW (enterprise data Warehouse) for reporting.

Executive Summary: Individually one package may rival Concur in one area or another. Collectively I don't a package that has the same abilities.
Ten. They are the second largest pure SaaS based company in the world. They are second only to SFDC. There is no way I would consider changing. I have used Concur in my last three jobs and until others are able to develop a better travel management tool that is built into their expense management with all the other features in mobile, the choice will be easy. There is a reason for companies that reside in the magical upper right corner. Concur is squarely in that company. The management of Concur with partial ownership by Amex has proven to create a compelling product that few of the rivals can come close to. While others may rival the feature set or an individual module, collectively in any product comparison matrix, I see no one that can handle the customization, features and strength of the company as Concur can. Others are only competing on price. This is a great product.
  • Vendor implemented
Yes
The implementation followed the classic 'as is', 'To be' and Gap completion model. Concur is a very easy implementation that is can be done with very little effort in most companies.
Change management was minimal
  • A couple of items came up for the 'pick up' of files that are sent to Concur. These are normal firewall issues.
  • There were a couple of items that I consider user error. These were users looking for reporting items that are not native to concur reporting. These are user education issues.
I put a nine because I could always go faster and no one is perfect. Concur has a professional services groups that does a great job.
  • Travel: Give the details of your trip (It remembers all of your locations, how you pay, FF numbers) Concur shows you the options and your travel is complete. Pick a flight that is X% higher than the lowest (The company decides X) and you have to email your manager why you chose that particular one!
  • Mobile: If you are out and have expenses, take pic with your phone and viola, you have submitted them to Concur to be matched in your company credit card.
  • Reporting: IF you like congnos and the ability to practically report against anything, then you will enjoy the reporting side.
  • I personally did not have any issues with cumbersome items. I can see that for some there could be an issue if you have never used SaaS based software and have a bunch of spreadsheets to complete when in the mapping of the Concur to Accounting package with the integration.
  • If a smaller company does not know how to implement SSO (Single Sign on) I suppose it could seem challenging. I would not say this is a Concur issue though. SSO was a breeze for us in the install. I am trying to be fair here.
Yes
The concur interface is simple, fast, and can handle all of your needs. The mobile portion supports SSO (single sign on) and will allow the end user to take pictures. These photos are then matched to the company recorded expenses. Making it a very tight system that can in many ways prevent items of risk in an audit.
ITs not ERP software. It's T/E software. I believe that the thing to point out here is this: The software is supposed to be simple and easy. The software is going to be used by every person in the company. It has to be easy for adoption to remain high. Concur does this. I think that the competitors do this as well but with out all of the functionality that Concur offers.
