Likelihood to Recommend
MileIQ is a great tool for users that need to track their own business mileage to claim on expense reports. The phone app is easy to set up and use when classifying drives. it will occasionally ask you if you want to auto-classify frequent drives to further minimize the manual tasks of tracking mileage.

Zoho Expense is wonderful when you have a distributed or remote team or workforce that needs to submit expenses reports throughout the month into a single software and approval system. Zoho Expense does make it easy to train, onboard, and use all of the end-user features for submitting and generating expense reports.

Pros

  • Simplifies categorizing each trip
  • Easy to run monthly reports for totals

  • The program will notify users if they have entered a duplicate charge.
  • Once the end-users understood that receipts were mandatory, attaching those receipts has become second-nature. The app makes it very easy to do so.

Cons
  • For our limited purposes - there is nothing missing - it does it's function of tracking, calculating mileage costs and reporting very well. Do not need anything else.

  • Banking integration should be two ways, once corporate card is paid for, it should close the line item
  • Reports should be available on demand

Usability
MileIQ is extremely easy to use. The phone app has a great flow. Drive classification can be as easy as swiping left and right. Users can access their reports in 2-3 steps. The admin console is easy to navigate and makes it simple to invite new users and remove old ones.

Ease of use for the simple basic options. I wish the there was an option for reimbursement to be marked separately. Example for all corporate credit expense reports with $0 reimbursements still have to be marked as reimbursed in order to be removed from pending reimbursement section. For the cost the features offer benefits

The only reason I give Zoho a 9 is because of the issue with the Chart of Accounts skewing every time I export/import. I believe this is due to the fact that I use sub-accounts and Zoho cannot differentiate. Still hoping. :)

Zoho Expense is on the lower end with limited features however the cost out weights all the fancy features the others have. As they charge way to much and have limited return on investment. The return on investment for the other platforms is only worth it when operating large scale operations. Zoho Expense is a great product

Return on Investment
  • Very automated, less than 10 minutes a week to categorize drives, another 10 minutes at the end of the month to create a report. Easy and efficient use of employee time.
  • Easily integrates with our Expense Management System and Accounting packages
  • No manual intervention at all required by employees - no tracking required on their part.

  • It's included in our Zoho One Subscription which was cheaper than QuickBooks, and we now have so many more options at a much cheaper cost.
