I’m mostly satisfied with Zoho expenses. It integrate well with Zoho books and their autoscan feature while not perfect does help a lot managing receipts.

Pros

Very simple to use, usable auto-scan, integrates with Zoho books nicely.

Cons

Auto-scan can get things wrong and will add currency selections you don’t need which makes the process go slower than it should.

Pretty happy right now. As we continue using it and understanding everything that it can do, I think it will help the company stay on budget!

Pros

The ability for the receipt scan and not having to keep up with all of them!

Cons

Still getting used to some of the functions but there isn't anything that I hate or can't adjust how I do something.

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

Excellent! I am terrible at keeping up with mileage on my own. Zoho Expense helped me tremendously with all the professional features at a great price!

I used it as an individual sales person. It helped me track mileage and stay more organized.

Cons

I only wanted to use the app for this function. Offered a lot of additional options that I did not need.
