Overall Satisfaction with Certify

We use certify to manage expense reimbursements for employees in 2 of our locations (I US and 1 European). We also use Certify to manage classification and reconciliation of corporate card charges for our US location.
  • Certify's customer support is excellent. They are quick to answer, knowledgeable and friendly. Follow up and communication is always clear and efficient.
  • Certify manages multiple currencies well making it easy for employees to be reimbursed in their home currency regardless of the currency of the transactions.
  • The Certify app is easy to use to capture expenses while traveling.
  • We've experienced continual problems with our corporate card integration where transactions post to the wrong cardholder account. Customer support has always been willing to assist with teh correction but its frustrating that the manual correction is needed so frequently.
  • Some customization requires manual intervention (we require a custom field for all expenses but have to contact support any time we add or change an expense account so that the required filed can be added manually).
  • Certify does not integrate with our accounting software and the CSV export/import file does not bring in transaction level detail.
  • Certify was the first expense reporting product we used. It replaced Excel worksheets and paper receipts so overall the impact on the organization has been quite positive.
Originally we selected Certify because of favorable pricing and it met our basic needs. 5 years in we are again evaluating other products seeking direct integration with our accounting system, Intacct and potentially a solution that also offers time tracking.
Certify is well suited to smaller organizations getting started with expense reimbursement. It met our needs quite well at a reasonable price when our organization was getting started. But as we scale and have more reporting needs we're not sure that Certify can scale with us. That said, we've been so happy with their support/service that we will be working wit them to try to find a solution before seeking other products.
