Occasionally, the platform can feel restrictive when it comes to custom expense policies or reporting. Also, syncing or integrations with other tools could be smoother to reduce manual work in some cases. More granular policy control based on roles, category, or conditions would be better, and custom reporting with flexible filter and saved views would be a great improvement.

Brex is very easy and practical to use for the control and management of resources and users. The product allows having multiple virtual cards for different types of expenses, users, countries, etc., which facilitates traceability and costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not that I don't like it, I think Brex is great. But what happens to me occasionally is having a purchase declined because the category of the digital store as classified by Brex doesn't exactly match the product and/or service being purchased. In this case, it's necessary to contact our admin, explain the situation, adjust the categories enabled for the card, or generate a new card to redo the purchase.

I really like how easy it is to administer Brex as an administrator. It's a seamless platform that effortlessly integrates with other communication tools like Slack and text to alert the team when documentation is needed. This makes it an excellent and easy user interface for everyone involved. Plus, they make card spending incredibly easy and ensure compliance with documentation is very accurate and prompt. The automated process for chasing documentation really takes the hassle out of it. Additionally, the initial setup was incredibly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with QuickBooks Online is solid, but it requires a multistep process to get all the documentation in the platform, which could be improved upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Brex for company travel expenses, and I really appreciate how the automatic receipt loading saves me so much time instead of having to manually load receipts. Filing an expense report with Brex is super easy; I simply add a few comments, and the process is complete. The automatic receipt loading makes it really convenient, as it is already there when I log in. Overall, Brex helps eliminate the headache of expense reporting, and I think you all are awesome.

I am not crazy about booking travel on the Brex platform. It isn't horrible, but some of the steps can be a bit time-consuming when looking for specific flights and hotels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate having a digital card with Brex, which is great for when I don't have my physical card. I love how the app and online dashboard are super fast and easy to use. I really like how the pictures upload easily and how the receipt and submission process is so darn easy. I also can't think of anything bad about it because I really like how it pre-populates the reasons in the memo. The overall experience is very smooth and seamless.

Nothing, it is so easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website is super clean which makes it easy to see everything you need very easily. Task list makes it easy to see which receipts are required and the Drag and drop feature for receipts is a great time saver to get them loaded immediately. Autotranscription of receipts is instant and always accurate.

Receiving and activating my card was so simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dont like about Brex.

Using it in South Africa has a few merchant related restrictions where the merchant site is limited to South African banks only. But this is not something Brex could improve on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple it is to onboard with Brex, as the KYC process is very seamless. The card works globally, which is very helpful when traveling for various events, conferences, and meetings. I appreciate that Brex offers both physical and virtual card options, allowing me to choose based on my needs. The ability to use disposable cards adds an extra layer of security against cyber threats or phishing. The credit line feature is useful as it helps me prepare for expenses even if my card or account is not funded at the time. Overall, the ease of payment and options available with Brex are quite beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would recommend the ability for more seamless integrations with your banking or accounting softwares. At the moment, we don't use that. But I think if the process is seamless, just the way you can connect using APIs, it would be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brex has been an incredible partner for us. From breaking down our spend by specific initiatives to providing a seamless sync with our ERP system, it has helped us control spending in a way we’ve never been able to before. The Brex team is consistently helpful, and they take our enhancement requests seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to Brex is the initial lift of breaking your budget down into meaningful spend limits. The work getting this handled is well worth it in the end when there is real data for future budget forcasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I definitely find the UI much more simple and intuitive, especially for creating virtual cards. Managing money with Brex is really simple, and we use their MMA feature. The management of virtual cards is quite easy, which I appreciate. Additionally, the ability to invite colleagues to manage a few things with user management and permissions is really good. I also like the perks associated with Brex, as well as the really good set of software features they've provided. Being a YC company, Brex gives us direct support as another legacy company, which is beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In addition to Brex, we also have to use other tools like Intuit, QuickBooks, and our HR management system. I wish there was a more unified solution where all finance and HR functions could be managed within a single software. That would be really helpful for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Brex to manage company spending in one place. It helps with corporate cards, expense tracking, approvals, spend controls, and sometimes travel or finance operations. Brex makes company spending feel much more controlled and visible. I can see expenses clearly, set rules around spending, and keep approvals moving without too much manual work. That makes the whole process feel faster, cleaner, and less stressful. I also use Brex with tools like accounting software, ERP systems, and sometimes travel or HR platforms, making the workflow feel more connected and efficient. The initial setup of Brex was very easy.

One thing that could be better is the flexibility in some workflows. Sometimes the platform can feel a bit rigid depending on how a team handles approvals or expenses, and a simpler layout in a few areas would make daily use smoother. Overall it works well, but there are moments where it could feel more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
