What differentiates Zoho Expense from other similar products?

Zoho’s suite of products is a game changer. It makes it way more affordable and provides a whole grouping of options.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really like how simple it is. I’ve used Concur, Travel Bank, and others. Zoho is just as good and really doesn’t leave a lot of wondering. It’s super straightforward and gets the job done. The approval workflow is great too!

What do you dislike most about this product?

The only thing I don’t like is how few options I have for categorizing. That might just be my company’s fault, but it often feels too generic to know where an expense goes.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It’s a great tool and if you’re considering the Zoho suite, this is a strong part of the suite.
