### "Best expense reporting system "

December 10, 2023

5.0

love the overall experience of zoho expense

Pros

Extremely easy to use and the auto scan of receipts are making the reporting easy and fast.

Cons

The rate are expensive and the fact that we can only add a minimum of 3 users and have to pay per user make it expensive

### "Easy expense filing for growing organisations"

January 30, 2020

5.0

Very good experience. My users like the app and this work for accounts is automated largely.

Pros

1\. Employees can file expenses remotely and do not need be present in office 2. Approval can happen on phone and no need to wait for people to sign in their presence 3. Employees get easy access to pending expenses and cleared expenses 4. All records are easily available online for future references and audits This way compliance, audits and general operations get automated largely and work becomes - easy, quick, paper-free, transparent and data-safe.

Cons

The only drawbacks are that some users need support in initial period when not people are not very mobile friendly due to lack of understanding of terms and on for expenses without invoice cannot be approved separately which happens sometimes when users spend in some places. If there could be an added approval for invoice-less expenses separately within the report then it would serve an additional audit purpose as well.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

Since I am already using Zoho Projects, Zoho Expenses was a natural option for us. Since Zoho has a plethora of solutions, it provides a single platform to connect my whole organisation.

### "Easy to use and modern UI"

July 29, 2019

4.0

I am very satisfied with the product overall. There are some things that needs improvement but they are minor problem.

Pros

this software is very easy to use, it has most of the feature I require. It is nicely integrated with Quickbooks I use.

Cons

Mobile app is not showing original currency as total currency but all items are converted to your base currency. This was working in the past, so I don\`t why it just disappeared.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

It is much simpler and modern tool

### "Ease of Use"

December 2, 2022

5.0

Very good and positive

Pros

the feature of reading an invoice by the system which it uses to pre populate the the expense fields is a big help. the system can just scan the invoice and picks all critical data helping in quick submission of expense report

Cons

Probably the UI can be more intuitive and based on current trend.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

This is due to the bouquet of products which are fully integrated.

### "Great expense platform tied to CRM"

January 2, 2019

5.0

Has been good for managing expenses of large groups of people.

Pros

Zoho Expense is extremely easy to use. Particularly like that it is tied to contacts in our CRM account. We have been on it for quite some time and it works well.

Cons

So far don't have any issues with Zoho Expense.

### "Good Value for Money"

October 4, 2020

4.0

We needed to move to a better expense management software (previously using googleforms) which would allow a clear audit trail of approval + direct integration into Quickbooks. Zoho Expense has solved this issue for us very well - and for an affordable price.

Pros

Fairly straight forward to deploy - team needed a bit of training but picked it up quickly. Best feature is that staff can see balances owed. From an finance manager perspective, the integration with Quickbooks is excellent.

Cons

There is a steep learning curve and the concept of reports is a bit unclear for junior staff. Occasionally the app stops working.

### "great tool to any company"

November 13, 2017

5.0

Pros

easy to use, none of our users had any problem getting used to using it and it is very intuitive. Great!

Cons

still needs some features. Being a relatively new software within a field of activity in which so much customization is needed, we miss some features.

### "Easy, affordable, simpler credit card reconciliation."

April 3, 2019

4.0

Implementing Zoho Expense has saved our accountant a great deal of time and effort. She used to manually enter staff's credit card expenses into QuickBooks, but now she can import them easily. There are a few functionalities we wish we had (and hope will come at some point in the future!), but customer service is super responsive and helpful whenever we've had questions or issues.

Pros

User-friendly interface and easy-to-use mobile app; direct link to credit card statements ensures we are not missing any transactions. Syncing with QuickBooks makes monthly reconciliation much easier for our accountant - much less manual entry needed. From the admin side, it is great to access reports to view spending trends and habits among staff; helps with budgeting.

Cons

It would be great if the receipt / credit card transaction syncing worked a bit differently - currently we have quite a few staff who get overwhelmed by the end of the month from duplicate expenses. We have included in our training that they should add receipts as soon as the expense in incurred so that Zoho can match things properly, but that is not always feasible. It would make it easier if expenses created from receipts automatically linked to credit card expenses, even if they were added several days after the credit card feeds pull in. Another improvement would be more customization within different profiles. Besides being able to limit which categories are shown, we would love to be able to limit which classes, customers, etc are shown depending on which profile a user is associated with.

### "Don't have anything to compare this with..."

October 14, 2021

4.0

Pros

The ability to see all the expenses in one place and filter them is good. The reports, although I haven't used them a lot. Most likely I would like Zoho Expense better if I've used it a bit more - it does take a lot of trial and error, and I didn't quite get to the point where it was automatic.

Cons

Many of the options didn't work with how I've already been using my receipts, despite the many choices. It also varies according to which store the receipts came from - different methods work with different vendors.

Hi Joyce, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the application. Zoho Expense does come with Autoscan that fetches information from receipts automatically and enters it for you. You can also automate the expense reports so that they are created and submitted for you by the application on a scheduled basis. Kindly reach out to support\[at\]zohoexpense\[dot\]com if you would like to know more about these features or if you have any other queries/requirements in general. Regards, Yohvan - Zoho Expense

### "Cheers to Zoho Expense"

July 5, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with Zoho Expense has been exceptional. I find that the chat function gives me quick answers. We are going through a learning phase on how to manage duplicates (which is pretty easy once you know what to do) but I would like to clean up the accounts of my users when they submit duplicate expenses after a report has been accepted and this functionality does not exist.

Pros

What I like most about the software is its ease of use. I used the trial period to get it set up for my users and we had no issues getting my users up and running.

Cons

The administrator has a lot of control but as the administrator, I want more control. My wish list would include the ability to manage and delete duplicate and failed receipts that linger on my user's accounts.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

It was a referral. A COO of another company made me aware of Zoho Expense and told me that his company had put Zoho Expense on its shortlist. I am unsure whether they have made the shift yet.

### "I've tried them all, this was best for our specific use."

March 13, 2022

5.0

We move really fast as a small service business. Forwarding receipts to email make sure all receipts are accounted for.

Pros

The email forwarding to capture expenses for Zoho was the best experience out of the bunch. It did a good job of scanning all the data and accurately converting it.

Cons

Due to Zoho's numerous products, sometimes it's hard to know where to log in. Bookmark it and it won't be a problem.

### "A good solution to record expenses"

July 30, 2019

4.0

Pros

• Auto-scan receipts • Multi-currencies (also supports Bitcoin) • Card transactions import • Possible to split an expense if different categories • Bulk add expenses • Multiple ways to import receipts (email, cloud storage, mobile app, web app) • Possible to add custom fields and tags in the expense form • Multi-lingual • Possible to edit the list of categories (also supports multi-level sub-categories) • Integration with Zoho Books and other third-party services • Flexible reporting

Cons

• Some import files require a pre-conversion in Excel • The list of auto-import cards is limited mostly to US issuing banks • Not possible to assign an expense to multiple reports (need of a proper accounting software for that) • In order to include expenses into the stats, these need to be included in a report and this report needs to be submitted and validated • It is not possible to add new expenses to a report that has already been validated. To do that, the report needs to be rejected first. • It is not possible to search expenses with a Paid Through account filter

### "Great tool for our spread out team"

May 16, 2018

4.0

The receipt scan feature is great and also ease of use

Pros

We are company that's spread across multiple cities and therefore the ease of submitting the expense reports for my team is fantastic. The really greate feature is the receipt scan, it is one of THE MOST useful function as it reads the receipt VERY accurately and has it ready for us to fill in the additional details. My team has actually run out of excuses why they cannot submit expenses on time. With Zoho expenses, we have now mandated that all resources should submit their expense within 1 week of trip completion. We plan to reduce this to 1-day.

Cons

The advance and reimbursement features seems to have some issues. It does not allow me to adjust an advance against multiple Expense reports.

Overall the product is very easy to use; I really like being able to scan receipts to automatically generate expense line items.

Pros

Receipt scanning is very convinient and effective. it tracks all the details of the receipt and update in the system, no need to manually type in the details.

Cons

February 10, 2020

5.0

Simply great.

Pros

My Company uses Zoho Books. We got some free licenses for Zoho Expense, which are really worth their weight in gold. My team and I do incur a lot of expenses on a daily basis and this is one of the best ways to keep track. I have sold way more expensive expense management solutions in my career and this one is right up there. The mobile interface is sleek, can take snaps of the receipt and fill in your expense right away or scan and send them to your Zoho email for auto-generation of the expense.

Cons

There is nothing not to like in this software. That said, I haven't seen or tried the splitting of bills between colleagues or splitting expenses between multiple profit centers.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

Zoho Expense bundled with Zoho Books is an unbeatable combination. You can bill expenses to customers directly and reflect the journal entries directly in Zoho Books. This is a must-have software for any startup of small scale enterprise.

Pros

Not much, sorry. I've used better products.

Cons

Clunky to use and not intuitive. For example, cannot switch between the four people I do expenses for without going back to my profile every time. Search function doesn't work so it's difficult to find historic charges. Just not a smooth and intuitive platform.
