Zoho Expenses is a must have product!

5.0 10 months ago

Pros:

Its been extremely easy to move from excel to Zoho Expenses. The time involved in training staff has been minimal and the process of uploading receipts and updating them has been extremely smooth. The auto scan feature in the platform is a must use! It saves so much time in uploading receipt details.

Cons:

I think they work towards improving vendor detection, especially during auto scan. I have several vendors with slightly different variations in name created during auto scan, when in fact all the receipts are from the same vendor. I think a simple (Create new vendor) option is sufficient after scanning the receipt.

Alternatives Considered: Expert, QuickBooks Online and TallyPrime

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Expense: Ease of ERP platform usage - Zoho being cloud based was a no brainer.

Transform Bill Management with precision

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: can put my overall experience in a couple of words as it is a user-friendly platform. I am a big fan of their feature to upload bills to Zoho and the amazing thing about it is that it scans each and everything from the bill, very clearly like the transaction number, amount, name of the payer, date and time etcetera. So, I can say that it is one of the best expense management tools

Pros:

There are a lot of features in Zoho Expense however, the most liked feature of Zoho Expense is Zoho Extension which allows you to take screenshots from emails or messages and those screenshots get directly uploaded to zoho. It's also a feature that can exclude a personal transaction, automatically remember the expense, and remove it automatically. Travel expenses can be added based on mileage and per diem

Cons:

I like everything in Zoho expenses except the reporting part which is not very customizable. It's user-friendly, however, for someone new who could get confused by the interface because it could be complex for beginners. mobile is not properly synced with the tool.

No longer functional

1.0 2 years ago

Comments: It was great at first offering a great value but know we are force to look for a new option

Pros:

In the past it was easy to match things up now it take longer than if you were to photocopy and do an excel report

Cons:

It keeps getting harder to use with every upgrade. Top enter an expense know you have to go to three different screen to match them up and most of the time you manually have to match them up which takes even longer. The worst part is they can even correctly do their own receipt

Engineering Tracking Expenses for Personal Company and Corporate Use

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: I would highly recommend Zoho to any business or person looking to track expenses for travel or otherwise.

Pros:

Zoho easily integrates uploading and autoscanning receipts across multiple platforms.

Cons:

Offline use is limited and that it's not completely free is a small disappointment.

Alternatives Considered: SAP Concur

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Expense: Cost and ease of use as well as the Zoho interface is more intutitive.
