SAP Concur vs Wave: Which is a better fit?

Andrew: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm an SEO manager. I would give Concur a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Concur, we were basically using Excel spreadsheets and just whatever means that every individual group deemed the best way to record expenses, which obviously was very inconsistent and created a lot of problems with accounting. The reasons we chose to go with Concur were pricing. It was not the cheapest, but it also wasn't the most expensive option out there. In addition, the features were excellent and it's well-known as a market leader in the industry. Getting started with Concur was incredibly easy. It operates in the cloud, for the most part. And so, once we had the account open and we were registered, basically all of the employees in the company registered for their own accounts and we were off and running. For any organization looking at Concur, I'd recommend they look at their internal accounting and whether it would integrate with Concur. Also, look at some of the other options out there, because Concur definitely is a great platform, but there are many others as well that may fit certain organizations better than others.

Matthew: My name's Matthew. My title is CEO/Founder. Company of one, and for rating for Wave Accounting, I would give it five stars. I really like it. For Wave, it's specifically for accounting and invoices and payroll. I had tried to do all of that stuff manually, but I had never used any other software before. So that's the first and only one that I've used. Basically, it was a recommendation from a former coworker that he had used it for his consulting business in the past and basically said you should look at it because it's a good value, it's good for small businesses, it's good to keep track of payments and invoices, and it doesn't really cost of a lot, so it's something you should research. And based off that research, I went ahead and signed up and I've been using it ever since. For me, it was pretty easy. I don't think there was anything too complicated. I guess it really just depends on what you're looking to get out of it. Like I said, I use mine for invoices primarily and keeping track of payments from clients. So there's a few other different features that you can utilize on there, but because those are my two main priorities, it was really easy just to get everything set up with the account, play around with all the different features, and at least get a few invoices written up. So I would say pretty easy. I would say if you're a small, medium business, it's definitely something that you should look into. It might not make sense for large corporate clients because maybe you have a lot more users or something like that. But for small, medium business, it's definitely something to look into. I mean, I would say especially also, the other thing is if you're not necessarily very knowledgeable about accounting practices or managing your books or keeping track of the ledger and invoices and stuff like that, payroll, this is a good way to help with that because they are able to walk you through each step-by-step part of the process. So I found that part to be helpful as well. So yeah, I would say it doesn't hurt for a small and medium business size owner to look at that and just consider it. But I've really enjoyed using it so far and I don't anticipate changing anytime soon.
