Great product for a Small / Medium Business

My experience, in this solution, is excellent. Zoho Expense provides great value to the operations by helping with the manage and control of expenses.

PROS

This is a great product which allows you to track expenses in a single view, shows duplicated charges, and its approval settings really help improve the expending culture in the company. In addition, has a Free Plan!

CONS

The issue, like any solution, depends on its compatibility with other solutions like Quickbooks, but it does have an easy workaround so that would be a minimum problem.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

We tested two alternative solutions and the ratio quality/price was impressively better in Zoho Expense.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Expense

Zoho Expense has a Free Plan and works perfectly with Netsuit.

A technology that actually makes things faster.

Overall, it's a simple, highly funal software with great layout and quite intuitive. I can't think of anything I would imporve upon except Maybe make it so we can import our company logos or taylor a colour theme.

PROS

Whats not to like, A simple mobile app that takes a clear and concise image of the reciept, it learns as you enter reciepts and as you process them so that the next photo import comes in with better information. Wow. Simple to find and edit and submit, great reminders thatyou have expenses not yet submitted.

CONS

At first I thought it was cumbersome, but quickly learned the software just needs to learn enough to be extremely practical.

Vendor Response

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to review Zoho Expense and sharing your feedback. We agree that using the mobile application is the best way to Autoscan receipts and report your expenses on time. You will be able to upload your logo directly from the web application. 'Admin View'>'Settings'>'Organization Profile'>'Upload logo' and upload your company's logo. We will also definitely work on having more theme options in future. Assuring you our best service at all times. Regards, Thanga - Zoho Expense

No longer functional

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

Great product, but online reimbursements are complicated

Overall it is great and we will use it, but if we find an equivalent option with easier online reimbursements, we will switch.

PROS

Easy to use, approvals are straight forward. Automation is useful. Role based access is easy to implement.

CONS

Online reimbursements are very hard to use. I wish they integrated with something like Plaid.

Great Program for SMB like me!

I have had great experiences using Zoho Expense. Ive tried other programs and they were clunky, messy, hard to use. I was on the phone with the help desk all the time. With Zoho Expense - I did it all by myself in a few hours. Now I am set up to run my business much better!

PROS

Easy to set up! Easy to use! Easy to see what needs ot be done. Maybe they should be called ZO-EASY Expense! I was up and running in no time. Imported changes from my corporate credit card, set up personal and business expenses. This made the separation so easy! Tax time will be so much better in 2024 !

CONS

There aren't any CONs as the product fit exactly what I needed. I do like how I can add new apps to integrate with Expense if I need it in the future. The seamlessness of that is worth $$$!

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

The ease of use, the cost, the support!

Reasons for switching to Zoho Expense

The cost was prohibitive and I didnt need everything the were selling. Zoho has everything I need at the right price.

Not expense-ive

Overall this is a good option and it won't break the bank.

PROS

Not bad at all for the price. Everything expense related is included and if you can't find something it's likely available in another Zoho app. If you travel for work often like I do you'll also appreciate travel expense and mile tracker features. Employees can scan a receipt using their phone and upload it to Zoho Expense in probably around three seconds. No need to keep a shoebox full of crumpled up receipts.Don't forget SSL encryption. Skimping on that is a big no-no when it comes to expense and financial records.

CONS

I didn't think it was easy to use at first. Probably for about two weeks. I'm fine with it now but it would be m7ch more convenient if it was easy to use from the first start up.

Pretty Cool Expense Management Platform

Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience using Zoho Expense. It has made managing expenses much easier and more organized. The only downside is occasional issues with the mobile app.

PROS

I have been using Zoho Expense for several months now, and I am extremely impressed with how user-friendly and efficient it is. The ability to easily track and report expenses has saved me a lot of time and hassle.

CONS

One downside I have experienced with Zoho Expense is that the mobile app can be a bit buggy and laggy at times.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Expense

One aspect that sets Zoho Expense apart from its alternatives is its integration with other Zoho apps such as Invoice and Books, making for a seamless and efficient workflow.

Seems to be Just What We Need

I definitely like Zoho expense better than QuickBooks. I will continue using this product and look forward to streamlining it with my Zoho books, email, and any other programs that we decide to utilize. Seems like a great solution for our small business.

PROS

I have only used this on a trial basis so far but it's exactly we need - something better than an Excel worksheet and cheaper that QuickBooks. It has allowed us to manage company expenses and I think it will be a great solution once we purchase and integrate it into our systems.

CONS

Using Zoho can be a little confusing at first - nothing major - but the Zoho email program is asking me to verify my email (required to approve some expenses) - which is a Zoho email - and the way that the systems work together is a little confusing - but I am confident that with a couple of tutorials or if I schedule a session with a Zoho rep to walk me through - that I will get the hang of it and enjoy using this product for our small company.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

The reviews and information indicated that it would be more suitable for our small company. The interface is user friendly and I really like the look of Zoho products. Some of the platforms might be better for large companies that have to manage a lot of details. Overall I recommend Zoho and look forward to utilizing the software further.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Expense

QuickBooks is expensive, has too many features that we don't need, and is frustrating to use. Excel spreadsheets are cumbersome and depend on the user to set things up correctly - too much of a hassle.

Great for documenting, tracking and approving employee corp card charges or reimbursable expenses

PROS

Zoho Expense is easy to use. It allows receipts to be entered via drag and drop, via email, or by taking a photo in the mobile app. It has optical character recognition to complete expense information. There are both default and customizable fields that can be used for tracking/ coding expenses. User roles include both submitters and approvers and approvers can be assigned to specific submitters.

CONS

Would be helpful if some of the functionality available by splitting an expense were incorporated into the itemization feature. The itemization feature allows the expense to be coded to different categories of expense but not to a different project or client. To associate an expense to multiple clients or projects, it has to be "split" which really creates 2 separate expenses that are associated with each other. I would prefer the expense still be a single expense just itemized to different clients/ projects.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

Zoho Expense was less expensive and offered the same features as Expensify.

You can't go wrong if you want a complete solution

We made this change from Quickbooks from our previous years and feel that ZOHO is superior.In addition, we were completely surprised at how intuitive the interface was.

PROS

We love the ease of associating actual expenses with the expense reports. Our CPA loves it too.

CONS

The one thing that initially got us hung up, was the ability to edit a submitted expense.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Expense

The initial reason was the cost simply escalated to the point of being ridiculous for a small company like ours. Then once we tried ZOHO on a trial basis, we became fans.

Zoho Expense is a great tool!!!!

We are very satisfied with the product. We have had good feedback from our clients, who use Zoho to submit their expense reports. They meet the deadlines without any problem. It is an ongoing process that facilitates them with easy ways to edit expenses, attach receipts, and send reports.

PROS

Set-up, implementation and training was simple. Zoho support was all the time helping us to go through all the steps to customize the application according to our needs. It is a friendly user application. Integration with QuickBooks Online was not an issue at all and doesn't need extra software to connect.

CONS

There are some banks that don't facilitate the automatic integration. However, this can be done manually. The statements are uploaded into Zoho without any problem.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

Because ZOHO offered what we were looking for.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Expense

Zoho has met my needs

I'm a fan no doubt. But definitely needs improvement on the AI receipt Auto Scan to be a top product. I still have to figure out the integration and improved export of data. Need to automate as much as possible.

PROS

Install: Easy to install and start up. Learning curve was minimal (but I have many years of finance systems experience, so I'm not sure if it would have been easy for those with no experience). Mobile app: The ease of mobile input. Great features, easy enough to figure it out without help. Smart layout. There are excellent help instructions available online. Desktop software: Easy to move around and find what you need. Love how you can jump to details from relevant screens. Can't get lost, you can always figure your way back from the convenient side bar. Good basic analytics. Edit functions are everywhere, so that's convenient too. Overall, I'm clearly a fan.

CONS

Mobile auto scan needs improvement. Although the scanning was helpful, it no doubt saved me lots of manual input time. The scanner picked up info, not even my eyes could see! But... 1- Doesn't pick up the name of vendor most of the time. Manual input required. 2- Auto scan AI categorization is clunky. Picks up at the vendor level, so assigns the same category to every item on the receipt, which is unrealistic. Should be at the line item, AI can learn through history and provide an accurate auto scanning feature worth paying for (significant $ upgrade for unlimited auto scans, expect it should scan better!). 3-It would also get data misaligned. The item description aligned to the wrong amount. So I had to fix quite a few mobile receipt scans. 4- Would get confused and pick up the line item description (example: price per unit) and create a new line item. So I have to do some clean-up on that too before submission. 5- Auto scans have a waiting period. So not in real-time. Thats inconvenient, especially since I'm not sure how long it takes. So have to keep checking. Would be good to get a text or something to alert when ready so I don't have to keep checking periodically. 6- Too bad my POS does not integrate with Zoho, only QuickBooks. It would be a huge improvement. 7- Quite a few modules...need to figure all that out. Improved storyline would be better on how it fits together.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

Price and free version.

Zoho Expense saves me time!

We have saved so much time in our office by putting the work of expense data entry on our employees who are purchasing/buying. Though the system isn't perfect for the way we use the "Items" tab of entering material costs in QuickBooks Desktop (it syncs every expense to the "Expenses" tab), it is still increased efficiency here.

PROS

We love the autoscan feature! Take a photo of your receipt, and it creates the expense, including Merchant and Cost. Even more, we love the Email Receipt Forwarding feature! No need to print any email receipts or invoices! And the support team at Zoho Expense is fantastic! They respond quickly, work to answer our questions thoroughly, and are committed to resolving any glitches and improving their product.

CONS

We needed some time to learn how to use Zoho Expense and to tweak it for best processes. We encountered some software glitches, and always received great assistance from the support team. I wish the system recognized variations within Merchant names (eg Smith & Jones is the same as Smith and Jones), instead of having to work around.

Reason for choosing Zoho Expense

We chose Zoho Expense for integration with QuickBooks Desktop and for reasonable cost.

Hi Christine, Thank you for taking the time to review Zoho Expense and share your feedback. We're glad to hear how you love the Autoscan capabilities as well as how our team has been able to assist you with the product.

Our employees have complimented the ease of use and the ability to easily log their expenses from anywhere. The autoscan feature along with the ability to tag expenses to project and have it sync with our financial systems automatically has been time saving and eliminates human errors with manual entry.

CONS

I really like Zoho Expense

easy to use and set up

PROS

I've been using Zoho Expense as a sole proprietor as it most closely mirrors the larger expense tracking systems I used as a corporate employee. It was easy to set up and there is a minimal amount of work at the beginning of each year to ready the system for the upcoming year. I like that I am able to attach my receipts to each expense and it's all in one place. It's a very intuitive product and I can easily upload receipts when I'm on the road.

CONS

I have been using the free version but am upgrading to the next level so that I can easily run itemized reports for each category for tax purposes. I have tried other software but Zoho expense gives me what I need.
