We haven't gone through that analysis. We chose Concur directly based on the ability to integrate with our current payment system SAP ECC. Concur system is a sole source for our Organization.
Concur UI was very friendly and impressive OCR on the invoice reading plus mobile application to account the expenses very easily or the key factors.
SAP ECC systems for payment processing. We have Concur integrated with SAP ECC since all our payments are processed through that systems. Concur is used to capture, approve expenses. Once approved the payment advice will be posted in SAP ECC for payments. Also employee data is integrated with SAP HR system
Audit policy and automated workflows are key. There was a significant effort gone through in processing paper based expenses. Approval was not transparent and auditable. Following the expenses and travel policy is something that not easy to maintain. Concur system address theses issues and provided an innovative solutions on top of that easy integration with our existing system
For users it saves time and efforts. Manual process is not only a pain to management its also a time consuming process for the end users. Also they faces missed payments delayed approvals, missing accruals also no traction on the compliance and Approval process. These factors add significant heavy lifting for the end users.

Better UI than our manual process and workflows. Policy adherence. Maintain the compliance level by the system automatically.
Con's
Some improvements on the UI on expenses by having GL mapping based on the invoice content. And pop windows on potential exceptions and mainly how to resolve direction with out having the user to contact system administrator. Q&A or real-time chat window on any questions. I prefer this function for all SAP products we manage this through Team's chat today. User friendly windows for configuration of audit rule and testing features so don't have to switch to sandbox.
