Overall Satisfaction with Expensify

Expensify is a de facto platform for managing expenses. It provides a clear overview of the report, expenses, and the approval flow. The easy usage ensures expenses are filed within the right periods, and a limited amount of time is spent on the activity. The approval log minimizes any issues around the approval, and avoids email-bouncing when questions occur.

Pros

  • Simple work flows
  • Easy navigation
  • Approval log for communication
  • Smart scanning function for receipts
  • Accurate milage function

Cons

  • Have the user name the expense report instead of automatically give it a random letter-digit name
  • Expenses are submitted in the right periods, proving more accurate period financial reporting
  • Less time is spend on creating and submitting expense reports, increasing efficiency
  • The approval log gives visibility on the status, no need to email-bounce for questions on status
I think it's an excellent platform for expensing. My main suggestion as a user is to allow the naming of the expense report instead of giving a random number-digit name, since this might go unnoticed and confuse the approver.

The smart receipt scan has a fair accuracy. It would be good to make it even better.
Expensify is everything Chrome River was unfortunately was not. The navigation was not intuitive. The workflows were cumbersome. The time spent on adding expended and managing reports was much higher.
The general dissatisfaction was significant and a lot of frustration was shared, which led to a switch back to Expensify.

The ease of use of Expensify makes it easy to log expenses and process reports. Minimal time needed spent on admin, more time productive activities.

Other solutions proved cumbersome when filing expenses which lead to delayed and time-consuming submissions and approvals.

With Expensify, it's easier to keep get the expenses submitted in the rght corresponding peiriods.
