Installing the software is a bit complicated and takes some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This system is so easy for our employees to use. Very minimal training is needed which is great to make sure we are getting costs posted to our projects timely. Reporting is also a huge bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most of our employees use the app and several features are not available on the app. Biggest challenge is when you reject and expense that is resubmitteable it isn't easy for employees to find it to get recoded.
Other challenge is because of how we have to set up the system our import to our ERP system is not an easy process. For most users this wouldn't be a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the Abacus team has rethought what an online expense management platform experience should look like instead of just digitizing the old paper process like many competitors. The optical character recognition and other automation are very useful and convenient. The ability to segment multiple corporate cards to be assigned to different user accounts is fantastic!

The user interface could be a little more modern (though it is good and better than most). I wish it would let you memorize some transactions more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an administrator, this has allowed us to see where frivolous expenses are occurring and manage our day-to-day spending better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are still some quirks with uploading PDFs and emails from your phone to the application. It works better from a PC, but since a majority of our users do not have PCs and only phones, this causes a lot of frustration on their end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Emburse abacus has many benefits but one primary reason to use it is because it has third party integration capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cos of is a bit on the high side and not affordable for start-ups and small business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to use this platform. Everything is straightforward and it's so convenient that it comes in the form of an app so I'm able to submit reimbursements for my company when I'm on the go. I really love how it also displays the status of your reimbursements and how quickly they are processed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't anything I dislike about Abacus because it's got everything I need :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to login and see all things that matter to me. Submitting an expense and reviewing it is simple. File upload was smooth too. I like that the autocompletes are in the right places. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much to dislike in a software like this. There is a list of expenses when you login and you can see if they have been reimbursed or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Abacus's mobile application allows me to submit expenses the moment I receive a receipt. While traveling, this makes staying organized so easy. The ability to even submit a meal expense before finishing eating is invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Looking up historical expenses on the mobile application does have its limitations. Although the app improves with each update, I have struggled to try to quickly access the cost of something from years prior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I hardly have to explain how to use it because it is intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It might not fit into an overall scheme as we evolve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have about 100 users signed up on the Abacus platform.
From real time submission of expenses to real time admin changes this online software has been very easy to use for our end users and accounting team. Additionally, our field and sales employees have found the Abacus app and desktop version very easy to use so much so we get compliments for haven chosen the software monthly. But the compliment really goes to Abacus for having created such an AWESOME software.
Our previous program would only allow users to submit one report with a months worth of transactions on it after a month had ended. Abacus allows transactions to be submitted and approved throughout the month. From an Accounting standpoint this has given us valuable month-end closing time back in addition to cutting down the time it take to code our credit card statement. Coding of said statement has gone from 4-6 hours a month to 1 hour and that hour includes identifying who has not submitted all the transactions needed.
Lastly, implementation seemed too easy to be true but it was just as easy as they told us it would be. I'm in love <3 in a nerd kind of way. The end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customer service is great on top of everything so there are no dislikes in my book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
