"I liked the ease of use and simplicity. Right away I knew this was going to be an easy app to use and maintain."
"Great App & I'd recommend it for everyone to control/track/record expenses in a very smart & efficient manner."
"Bad, bad timing...this is a big FAIL. You really should get a group of your current customers to test drive new platforms in the future before rolling them out."
"Some trouble getting QBs Desktop integration working."
"The lack of subcategories, you can not create them on your cell phone."

Quite useful tool to track and record company expenses
In overall I just love the Zoho Expense, now I'm able to record my monthly expenses for a company and can mark them reimbursement item that means once approved I will get reimbursed for that expense from a company which is not only helping me but also helping the company in smoothing the whole process of monitoring the expenses and providing reimbursements.
Pros
I have started using Zoho Books initially and gradually I explored other Zoho products as well. In a few days, I got to know about the Zoho Expense and I was like this is the tool I need. It makes my life really easy by offering the easiest way to record my expenses for the company and other employees as well. Once the expenses are recorded in the Zoho Expense, it will directly be shown in the Zoho Books. I just love this feature.
Cons
Well, there are no cons I have noticed but for the unfamiliar person, it might be a little tricky at initial to learn and to use it. But, believe me, the Zoho team will provide any required support to make sure you are having a good experience with their services/tools.
Reasons for choosing Zoho Expense
I was using Wave Accounting before coming to Zoho but once I got to know about Zoho, I was delighted to use it.

Looks promising
We are hoping to use it for expense tracking for employees and integration with Quickbooks online.
Pros
There is a lot to like about this software. It is well designed but the functionality is still not working fully.
Cons
There seems to be some inconsistency in the way the categories work on the mobile app.

Response from Zoho
Hi Todd, Thank you for reviewing Zoho Expense. By design, the same categories displayed on the web application should be available on the mobile app as well. Kindly write to us at support[at]zohoexpense[dot]com if this is not the case so we can assist you further. Regards, Yohvan - Zoho Expense

do not use
Pros
None -- honestly the worst expense software I've ever used
Cons
Where to begin... - doesn't pull in all transactions from Amex - constantly breaks - not easy for employees or admins to use - customer service employees are nice but not helpful because the product is awful

Zoho Expense is the uncomplicated winner in this category!
Overall, my experience with Zoho Expense has been great. I see no reason to switch to any other service. This app offer everything I was looking for and more.
Pros
I love how simple and focused this app is. I don't need a million options, just something that makes it easy to keep track of and submit expenses. Zoho Expense does all of that an more at a very reasonable price.
Cons
I think that the only thing that could be improved in this app is the database of merchants in the United States could be more comprehensive. Not a big issue, but maybe something that could be updated.
Reasons for choosing Zoho Expense
Simplicity, focus, and cost were the deciding factors.
