As I mentioned before, it can be unclear how to navigate through the website at times. It is highly customizable, which is a good thing.

Both the online and mobile app are extremely user-friendly and customer service is fantastic. It makes tracking and reporting extremely easy and allows us a clear view into how our company is spending money.

For our needs this software is lacking basic amenities. The support is not at all up to par. The written support is outdated, the training sessions are so high level that the trainers can rarely answer a question that is off script. The flat file only method is outdated. The navigation is clunky, distorted and sometimes makes no sense. For an organization using QuickBooks, this software is probably perfect.

If the integrations with our card programs had succeeded, I expect [Emburse] Certify would have worked well for expense submitters and approvers. During the short time that the American Express Business integration was active, transactions flowed smoothly, and the expense reporting and receipt matching functions were quite good. The [Emburse] Certify mobile app was particularly powerful and easy to use.

It is a common application. It some areas, it does OK, and in others, it seems to be backward. I wish you could save our employees names in the database, so when you assigned people to an expense, you didn't have to type it in each time. It becomes time-consuming and frustrating when I have to split expenses.

I think Certify is an ideal program for submitting expenses. It's easy to use, can extract the required information from your receipts, and give you helpful updates about when your managers approve or dispute the expenses. I'd give it a perfect score if it wasn't for the slightly dated app design.

If the alternative is submitting expense reports on paper or through in-house software, I’m definitely inclined to say that Certify will save you time, money, and headaches. After one or two sessions in the app, you’ll get the hang of it and make good use of it. Compared to some of its competitors, however, I do not think Certify is the most intuitive or time-efficient. The steps necessary to record and submit your expenses do not necessarily occur in the order or manner you might presume.

It is pretty user-friendly and intuitive. If you know how to use a computer you should know how to navigate on their website. The app is fine too. Like I mentioned in Cons, the reason why it is not a 10 is that sometimes during peak hours and days it seems like the website is slow.

Overall, the usage of the interface is very good. It scales well to a mobile phone but is still useful on the computer screen. All of the features that I would expect are there and easy to use. My only complaint is that sometimes some of the functions are not in plain sight.

Employees love Certify on the web. It is easy to use, provides visual feedback, sets clear expectations, and allows employees to get things done fast.

The mobile app, though, is clunky. It's certainly usable, but the interface leaves a lot to be desired and it just so happens that since the "easiest" way to scan receipts is through the app, the app could use some native updating.

Ease of entering data in to reports. From photos that pull data and fill in the blanks to suggested reasons for making edits, etc. great way to track expenses with multiple departments and employees. The program prompts you to answer all the questions which makes it easy for review by management.

It's not the best solution I have used, but also, it's not the worst either. It is an average solution, and I know it is on the cheaper side of the spectrum which is why my company chose it. They always choose the lowest cost provider. Certify also does not have any integration to the travel solution we use, so everything in that has to be manually uploaded.

Because so far it has been working well for us in every way. If I have to pick it apart, I've made some suggestions that in my opinion would improve the product. However, the lack of those features do not in any way shape or form minimize the efficiency of the software and the service provided.

This program is very easy to use and the training options that are available are very helpful to our new employees. When we set up a new employee we provide a like to the training. We ask them to get familiar with the program before they start using it. Certify does a great job with the references that have available. Makes our job a little easier on the back end!
