What do you dislike about Egencia by Amex GBT?
While Egencia works well for standard travel bookings and provides strong visibility and reporting, there are several opportunities to further enhance both the traveler and arranger experience.
One area I'd like to see improved is payment flexibility. For example, when a traveler wishes to personally pay for an upgrade from Economy to Premium Economy or Business Class, there isn't always a seamless way to split the payment between the company's approved payment method and the traveler's personal card. Providing this functionality would improve the traveler experience while maintaining policy compliance and spend visibility.
I'd also like to see improvements around guest traveler management and group bookings. Creating and maintaining guest profiles can be cumbersome, and it would be beneficial if arrangers could add notes or traveler preferences directly to a guest profile that are visible to both agents and arrangers. This would make it much easier to book on behalf of guests and ensure important information is retained for future trips.
For group travel, additional self-service functionality and visibility would help reduce manual intervention and improve efficiency for both travelers and administrators.
Finally, while the reporting capabilities are strong, I would welcome more advanced analytics around traveler behavior, leakage, supplier performance, and policy compliance, along with improved profile synchronization across systems.
Overall, the platform is effective, but enhancements in payment flexibility, guest profile management, group booking functionality, and reporting would significantly improve the experience for travelers, arrangers, and travel managers alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
