Overall Satisfaction with Expensify

We use Expensify to track all of our driven miles and travel/on the road purchases. This process helps to streamline reimbursement for those in the field while they are visiting multiple sites, booking flights, and anything travel related. The scope of my Expensify usage comes from tracking meals and day to day activities to help my company not only reimburse employees but also track effectiveness of spending.

Pros

  • Expensify is really good at providing a simple system to log your expenses.
  • Expensify does a great job at identifying possible reimbursement denials like duplicate expenses and errors in log.
  • Expensify stays up to date on reimbursement coding like those used for gas usage by mile

Cons

  • Expensify can be less strict about duplicate logs as sometimes you get the same meal twice when traveling and it shows it as an error.
  • Expensify could showcase possible location services like Motus does for gas consumption logging.
  • Expensify could be better about telling me when my reimbursement should be expected.
  • Positive impact is employee satisfaction as they get paid back quick and accurately.
  • It has allowed employees to see more clients as they get paid on time to repay for travels.
  • It has allowed in person business to resume, gaining more company traction with clients
Its very simple and easy to use, especially since it can be used on my phone in the app or on my desktop while I am working. It is very easy to get started and easy to connect to my bank (Chase) so that I can have the reimbursement directly deposited into my account.
It is better since Expensify covers a multitude of different expensible options. Motus is nice as it tracks your location for the most accurate milage usage reading but also that features heavily drains my phone battery so it is very nice to just map it myself and put in later on Expensify.

Do you think Expensify delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Expensify's feature set?

Yes

Did Expensify live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Expensify go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Expensify again?

Yes

I travel a lot where sometimes I will spend $4000 a week so it is great to get it logged with ease so that I can quickly get reimbursed. This suits my work/remote work situation well as I am not always able to utilize company funds as I may be a whole state or timezone away.
