**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

Abacus is easy and flexible for needs. The customer service representatives are very good: with excellent information and responsiveness. Spending in Abacus is very easy due to the ability to drag images to the platform and a small amount of details that are required in relation to expenses. The mobile application is very fast and simple to scan receipts on phones immediately (for example, in the mall, the airport) and is very simple to use.

Keep in mind that this is a very new product that is going through changes regularly.

It is easy to be bothered by the failures that occur, but in general, all the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I no longer receive my expenses late or without receipts thanks to the mobile application. I can take a photo of the receipt instantly using the application and send the expense within 3 minutes of a purchase.

  ### 6. Quick and easy expensing

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Venture Capital & Private Equity | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

With Abacus I am able to expense company charges on my own cards in about a 3 tap process on my phone. After connecting my debit card I was able to go over each of the charges I had and send them directly to the company without any hassle. Could not be easier once it is set up!

**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

The set up process was not ideal for me. I tried connecting my debit card many times before having to go to their help center. After that it directed me to connecting my bank through another page which eventually worked and then it allowed me to connect my card. This should have been more obvious and clear when attempting to connect cards as I had to spend 15 minutes just getting error messages without any explanation. Once this was set up it was incredibly easy though.

**Recommendations to others considering Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus):**

Highly suggest Abacus for company expensing. 

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Abacus allows me to expense things on my personal card without the hassle of taking pictures of receipts.

  ### 14. Abacus App Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nina A. | Schuler STEM Scholar Coach, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

I love that I can use the app on my smartphone and easily log expenses. It is straightforward and easy to take a picture of a receipt to attach to an expense report.

Sometimes the app will act up and I will get notifications for expenses that I've already completed. There has been one case of a duplicate expense appearing, and one of my expenses complete disappeared.

It is great that my boss can send back a report with comments, so it streamlines the expensing process and aids in communication between various departments. 

  ### 15. Responsive Customer Service, Adequate Product

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah F. | Technical Project Manager & Operations Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2018

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

UX is straight-forward and flexible for our needs.  The customer service reps are great - knowledgeable and responsive. 

**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

We have intermittent issues with AMEX such as duplicate and missing transactions. It seems to be AMEX's problem with all similar services, though; not an Abacus-specific problem. Abacus speaks with the data providers directly to resolve the issues - sometimes this takes weeks.

**Recommendations to others considering Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus):**

Teh Salesforce integration was too expensive for us. It is not too difficult for us to manually input our campaigns, but if you have a ton, you may find this tedious and will need the integration.

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's much easier for the admin to follow up with our salespeople regarding specific transactions, or to hound them to submit receipts (we used a spreadsheet method previously). Also, with the ability to add accounts and campaigns from salesforce into Abacus directly, the inputs are normalized, and we don't have to search for a match. 
From the salesperson's POV, they like Abacus way better than the spreadsheets; they can submit receipts throughout the month, instead of waiting to do all at once, getting in the way of other tasks. 

  ### 16. Abacus is just like magic

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amy S. | Legal Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2019

**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

There is not much that I do not like about Abacus. 

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 17. Abacus as a simple and worthwhile expense tool.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

Abacus has so many feature, it is practically limitless. We were able to use it to shorten our expense process drastically. Not to mention the fact that the Abacus team is extremely helpful. Their introduction emails answer your questions before you even have a chance to ask them! For us, Abacus was the perfect choice as it offered us both a simple and practical expense platform to start with as well as a technology we will be able to use moving forward and integrate with our accounting software as our sales representatives become more aware of the product. (Which isn't too tough! Its incredibly simple to use!) Pricing is at a great point as well. However, if a user does not submit an expense they will not pay for that month! I would not trust those who offer "free expense software." Those at Abacus are professionals, hands down, no doubt.


**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

 I really have few cons for the software. I think it would be nice to see more instructional videos that we could share with our sales team so that we did not have to explain the software to them. That being said, the software is intuitive and we had few problems helping everyone get up to speed. All in all, there is little to complain about considering how much bang you get for your buck.

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

How easy receipt upload is. All of my frequently visited spots are saved and makes completing the report a total breeze! At past companies, it would take me at least an hour to complete an expense report after a weeklong trip, but with Abacus, I am able to do it in 10 minutes. Total time saver!

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

 I love how easy it is for me to log my mileage for reimbursement.  I can just enter a starting point and destination and it will automatically calculate the mileage and reimbursement for that trip.

I love how Abacus has an app and the app is so user friendly. 

I like how easy it if to split receipts between reimbursable and non-reimbursable expenses. 

I also love how easily the reimbursement gets deposited in your account.  

I also like how the app suggests expenses on your credit card for reimbursement and has the ability to group expenses from a specific trip. 

I like how clear the reimbursement is on your credit card statement.


**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

I don't understand if I can just chose credit card items for reimbursement or need the receipts.  I wish it was a little clearer in that regard. 

We have to use two softwares for expenses and reimbursements.  We have to use a second software for regular purchases in the office and it would be more convenient if abacus could cover both of these.  

**Recommendations to others considering Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus):**

Abacus makes it easy for employees to submit receipts and log driving miles.  I would recommend it.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ben H. | Senior Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

Abacus UI is amazingly natural and simple to utilize. Contrasted with the Concur framework, expensing on Abacus is a breeze in light of the capacity to drag pictures into the stage, and the little measure of subtleties that are required identifying with one cost. What's far and away superior is that you can transfer costs straightforwardly from your telephone through the versatile application. This makes it much harder to neglect to present a cost since you can do as such when you get the receipt.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

Abacus should demonstrate a total measure of costs exceptional quickly on the landing page. They ought to likewise demonstrate the measure of assets that have just been endorsed and are headed, just as the normal store date. The classes of costs seem, by all accounts, to be restricted - clients ought to probably propose their very own to heads here and there.

**Recommendations to others considering Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus):**

Math device is genuinely a fantastic item. Both as a site and as an application, the interfaces are instinctive, simple to explore and coherent. On the off chance that one knows about internet shopping and essential individual record-keeping, the Abacus stage will appear to be normal with a fast expectation to absorb information. 

I would prescribe Abacus to any private venture. Having worked at an extensive organization before coming here, the cost report framework was grievous and individuals were reprobate is submitting shapes for repayment. Math device has makes costs simple to process, and gives no reasons to individuals not to present their reports.

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The framework has effectively settled the issue of submitting costs. Since the stage is so consistent and simple to utilize, it has enhanced the bookkeeping technique that is utilized for costs. Moreover, in light of the fact that the majority of the costs must be classified it is anything but difficult to see where the most noteworthy uses are going on. This has additionally made repayments back to representatives significantly quicker also. 

Finishing my very own cost reports proficiently, quickly and precisely. 

Understanding the equivalent from my immediate reports. 

Supporting my association in guaranteeing that cost detailing is done consistently and precisely. 

Being repaid rapidly, particularly for expansive costs. 

At long last, empowering me to have more noteworthy perceivability in the costs of my reports to guarantee that we hold fast to our financial plan and spend our assets shrewdly.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

I hate submitting expenses, but Abacus recognizes that most people hate it, too, and has made entering them as easy as I've ever seen. Simple receipt capture and uploads (especially on mobile), remembering and suggesting entries based on my previous expenses, and simply not forcing me to try to stuff my expenses into categories that aren't intuitive are what I like best.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

I'll always hate submitting expenses. Until Abacus does every little part of it for me, I'm not sure there is much that I dislike. It actually isn't all that far off from doing it all for me now.

**Recommendations to others considering Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus):**

My impression in speaking with users of other products is that this is really one of the top 2 platforms.

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

Abacus is somehow both extremely easy to use, while still being very detailed.  You can create a multitude of tags, categories, sub categories, you name it, and all are very easy to navigate through their interface. The system feels very sleek as well; for a finance/expense application, one doesn't expect to see something so aesthetically pleasing. Generally speaking, I have never had an issue using Abacus, I've never really needed to try out their tech support since it is so user-friendly, and I really cant complain about a single thing regarding this app.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

Again, I really can't think of 1 thing I dislike. If there is ever any slowness, it tends to stem from our end as users, not from the software.

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ease of expensing purchases for business has gotten EXPONENTIALLY easier since our company started using Abacus, at least from the submitting side of things.

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2019

UI is adaptable and makes suggestions that are not mandatory so I can enter expenses that are not recognized

Uploading receipts is intuitive and accepts multiple formats

  ### 25. Abacus is so much better than combing through paper receipts!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

I love the app! I just take a photo of my receipts and upload them on the spot before I lose them. I use the email forwarding feature all the time for receipts that come to my email. I like that you can add a description in the body of the email and it populates that text in Abacus once the expense imports.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus)?**

I can't really think of anything I dislike, honestly. I do think the linking of credit cards and the users can be a little confusing to navigate the way it appears to the end user. Other than that, I'm happy!

**What problems is Emburse Spend (formerly Abacus) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We don't have to save and store paper receipts! Managers can easily approve employee expenses, and there is a clear record of the approval. The reports are easy to use and can be saved for future use. The reports are helpful with budgeting.

Also, if I have a stack of receipts, there's no way to bulk process them; you have to take a picture/scan of each receipt individually.
