Overall Satisfaction with Concur Travel and Expense

I have used Concur Travel and Expense within three organizations, and I find it extremely easy to use. At this time, I'm only using the expense function. The ability to easily create/duplicate expense reports containing consistent information month to month is extremely helpful. Effectively, I use previous months as templates, duplicate them, and then edit them. Concur Travel and Expense makes it very simple.

I also used to use Concur Travel and Expense for traveling and have always found it very intuitive.
  • Tracking monthly expenses
  • Duplicating reports and expenses
  • Keeping and attaching receipts to expenses
  • Uploading of receipts (can only add one at a time)
  • Layout is dated
  • Some of the UX could be improved, clicks are simple once you know them but not always intuitive
  • Saves me approximately 50% of my time on expense reports
  • Allows me to add receipts and tie them to expenses later
  • Makes it extremely easy to replicate/duplicate similar reports
I know that I have used a couple of tools, but Concur Travel and Expense is the only one that I remember. The others were ok, but Concur Travel and Expense is easy. I've been particularly impressed about how they've stayed strong through their acquisition by SAP. I think the ease of use plus ubiquitousness in the enterprise space makes it easy.
I'm not aware of other integrations. I only utilize Concur Travel and Expense.
Concur Travel and Expense just works. It has enabled us to easily track expenses and reimburse when appropriate.
I don't have to bother the team handling expenses/reimbursements. That is the benefit. It's a frictionless tool that works as long as the users are inputting the proper information.

Concur Travel and Expense works very well for entering one-off expenses. I find it particularly helpful month-to-month, as I have fairly consistent expense reports. I'm able to duplicate the prior month's report easily and edit it from there. This likely saves me 25-50% of my time in filling out a report.

It's easy to send receipts to Concur Travel and Expense via email as well, though uploading files directly within the app is tedious.

SAP Concur Attributes

I think it is very easy to use, especially once you are acquainted with it. I think the UX could be improved so some things, like accessing old reports, are more intuitive once you learn it though it is not difficult to replicate.
  • Adding expenses
  • Copying/duplicating reports
  • Copying/duplicating expenses
  • Adding receipts
  • Accessing older reports (not difficult, just not as intuitive as I would like)
As an employee/end-user, it is easy for me to engage with the tool, submit my expense reports, and get reimbursed, when applicable.
I have not done the deployment, but the fact that I was able to onboard without speaking with anyone suggests ease of use/deployment.
I have not integrated the tool with any other of my software. So I'm not in a position to provide useful feedback on this question.

Concur Travel and Expense Training

It was very easy for me. I had prior experience with the tool, but it was some time ago. It was like riding a bike. I believe that if you are curious and savvy, you should be able to easily pick up 90+ percent of basic functionality by just poking around.
