Emburse Spend Likes & Dislikes

Like

- Ability to customize fields for expenses, limits where receipts are required, etc - Clear and intuitive navigation makes it easy for new users to onboard and understand the software - Easy to review and approve expenses with helpful notifications when an expense is approved, paid out, etc

Like

I like the ability to have real-time reporting.

Like

Abacus's mobile app is very easy to use, especially while traveling for work. Overall it is a very easy tool to use for submitting expenses and tracking reimbursements.

Dislike

- Customizability is high, but slows down integration time frame - Support is lacking when things go wrong, it's difficult to get quick replies - Occasional bugs don't get corrected quickly even after getting in contact with support

Dislike

I wish that I had a little more flexibility with the integration. For example, Abacus cannot sync information to a prepaid module that I use with Sage Intacct.

Dislike

Abacus is really meant for expense reimbursement and is not good for things like submitting purchase orders or other types of payment requests.

    I am really happy with Abacus. We transitioned from another product with Emburse, Nexonia.

    Abacus is very easy to use and set up automation rules for manager approval of expenses. As a user, Abacus makes it easy to submit expenses and track reimbursements. As a manager, the approval process is easy and clear.
