What do you dislike about Tipalti?
The implementation process and the staff were not great at all. The OMs did not seem very knowledgeable about the product. During the Procurement implementation specifically, we were left to fix items that were incomplete and to correct work that didn’t follow the sandbox setup. We also received conflicting information, and the OMs often seemed unsure about the system’s capabilities.
On top of that, since this is an accounting/finance platform, the staff often had a limited understanding of the accounting significance and the importance behind certain actions and features. As a client, we ended up leading the implementation rather than Tipalti leading the engagement, which was a major inconvenience—especially given that we’re paying a considerably material price a year and still had to do much of the setup work ourselves.
We also ran into an issue where the OM did not provide key information upfront, and we were forced to restart our entire instance. That meant resending notifications to vendors, and we then had to communicate the situation to vendors and internal staff to avoid confusion. Tipalti also does not do a good job relaying system updates and changes; we often log in and find changes that even the success manager didn’t make us aware of.
Tipalti is a decent product, and the vendor information collection is probably its strongest selling point. However, given the implementation problems and the lack of customer service and kindness from the OMs and their managers, I would not recommend Tipalti as a top product solution. There is still a lot of improvement needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
