Overall Satisfaction with Concur Travel and Expense
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?
- 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.

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.

I've never used a competitor so I'm honestly not sure. But from what I've heard it's the best in the buisness
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.
Using Concur Travel and Expense
2000 - 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.

Evaluating Concur Travel and Expense and Competitors
- Product Features
If the product doesn't have the features we need then what's the point in using it? Price doesn't matter nearly as much if the purpose is served and everyone is getting what they need out of the product with ease of use and efficient access.
I wouldn't change anything!

Yes - I have not utilized the most recent version of the mobile application interface, however, the old one I remember being very easy and efficient to use. However, I do not feel that giving feedback on the new one will be possible at this time.
