What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

The site works well for dragging and dropping in receipts, which are then shared with Zoho books for easy bookkeeping management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

It would be nice to have the option to turn off reports - sometimes you just want to be able to upload one expense without the rigmoral of clicking multiple pages to get to the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's built-in receipt scanner helps in not having to scour receipts for the date in tiny print! It would be good if it could identify the VAT breakdown on the receipts however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The auto-detection feature when you upload PDF recipes is very convenient. Expense management hasn't been easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

Not all details are captured by auto-detection. I still have to fill in complicated SAIC or Product codes. They should be automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a solopreneur and it's difficult for me to track and manage expenses as I'm my own accountant. Zoho expense is helping tracking daily expenses easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

Zoho Expense has been a fantastic tool for managing expenses. Here are some standout features I love:

Receipt Scanning with Auto-Cropping: The receipt scanning tool is excellent. It auto-crops receipts, making them clean and easy to read. This saves a lot of time and ensures the receipts look professional. Auto-Scan is cool but not my favorite.

Auto Sync with Cards: The auto-sync feature for credit cards is seamless, automatically pulling in expenses without any hassle.

Duplicate Detection: I appreciate the automatic duplicate detection, which helps maintain accurate records without manual oversight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

However, there are a couple of areas where I'd love to see improvements:

It would be incredibly helpful if we could save search criteria into profiles for repeated searches, especially for complex queries.

My credit card statements come with pre-categorized transactions. If Zoho Expense could import those categories directly from the card statements, it would make categorization even more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

It replace Excel for me. Makes my expense tracking and tax preparation easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho One?

Zoho one is very customizable. I liked being able to change forms or the layout and how I viewed certain modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho One?

So many modules have similar capabilities but you have to go to a completely separate module to find the one that was necessary for that project. I also felt that even though I could email the support team, it was not ideal in the time it took to resolve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho One solving and how is that benefiting you?

Potential clients and the sales funnel.

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

Each time I've needed to contact support, they have been really responsive (<2 min wait times) and I've gotten my issue resolved through the first time contacting their support chat.

On top of that, their system is very intuitive, easy to set up, and offers several integrations.

So far, it is a great decision to transfer over to their Expense system! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

The only thing that I found that could be improved is that there was 1 feature (point to point mileage tracking) that is only available on iOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Expense allows us to capture expenses from employees and manage their receipts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

As a small business owner, tracking expenses formally and maintaining accounts was always a challenge - Used excels previously and shifting to zoho has been the best decision. Easy user interface, quick customer service, extensive features for efficient documentation (this was a refreshing change and I'm so content with the response time and quality)

It was also very easy for my employees to adapt and understand all the features which makes documentation very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

Tried integrating it with Zoho Books for my accounting but that was not a smooth transition, might need to seek out their team for assistance but have not tried that yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Documentation of all the team expenses (previously used only excels) The submit report feature has been the most beneficial for admin purposes and approvals have become so much quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho Expense?

I love how easy to use this program is. My favorite feature is how it links to Zoho Books and that you can enable/disable certain accounts for Zoho Expense to keep certain accounts from being used for an expense. I also really liked that their customer service gave me an extension of the free trial to better try-out the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Expense?

I wish that it better integrated with my other business applications, but Zoho is making me begin to consider switching to their ecosystem of offerings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Expense solving and how is that benefiting you?

Specifically tracking my expenses. I started to get overwhelmed with other programs that allow you to do a lot of business needs in a single program. I like the separation of applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
