## Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) Reviews
  ### 1. Relatively easy to use, but some adaptations are necessary.

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2026

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

After a period of 6 months of use, one gets used to it – the system with quick interaction, without interruptions, history of sent invoices, keywords remain in memory to speed up the filling of information.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

For travel allowances, the system is immediately configured with automatic deductions for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I very rarely receive them during my business trips. This means I have to check each day separately to record them correctly. This represents 5 clicks per day - if there are 10 days, then 50 clicks, and additionally at the end, I have to check again if I have checked correctly. A simpler ergonomics is needed, for example, an overview of the entire month, where only the individual boxes of certain days would need to be checked - this way it could be filled out more quickly and with better visibility of all the days.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No paper - nor sending photocopies.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

I like how they have updated the main page to make it even more simple to navigate. The site continues to get expense refunds back quickly. They also made customer service easier to contact and they have continued to help me. I was recently locked out of my account and they got back to me almost instantly and fixed the problem. I have also noticed that they have helped organize the funding sources that I use and I no longer have to manually input the numbers, which is very nice. 

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

While it is still very easy to use and organized, some of the more complicated receipts are hard to input. Also, there have been a few times the website has crashed while I am in the middle of implementing a reimbursement, and my progress was not recovered an dI had to start again. These would be some minor fixes.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I dont need to rely on communication with people to get expenses, I can just submit it into the system not have to worry about getting in contacr with anybody.

**Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2026

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

I like how Emburse Expense Enterprise keeps a nice record of everything related to my expenses. It's super easy to use, especially with so many easy categories to allocate expenses to. For transportation, there's flight, ground transportation, mileage, etc., and if I use Uber or Lyft, the receipt automatically uploads to my Emburse account. Plus, I can easily take a picture of receipts with the app on my phone and upload them. The initial setup was super easy, both the desktop version and the app.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

I've had a couple of instances where I can't find the receipt to allocate to my expense. For example, I upload the receipt and I incorrectly selected a different receipt, but when I go back to find the correct one, I can't find it. I think it would be helpful to have a history/library of previously uploaded or utilized receipts.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Emburse for personal workplace expenses needing reimbursement. It keeps a nice record of everything, is super easy with category allocation, and makes uploading receipts easy via the app.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The organization is very nice and easy to use. I especially appreciate the receipt matching automatically if you have previously uploaded it.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

A lot of transactions aren't synced properly and will show up late and then warn you that you're submitting an expense past due. In reality it may be past due, but an expense can't be submitted if it doesn't show up.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Expense tracking across the organization. The expenses can be easily categorized and downloaded for later analysis

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2026

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

As an AP Approver, I find the system intuitive and easy to use for reviewing and approving expense reports. The reporting and analytics capabilities are excellent, and the ability to export data to Excel for additional analysis is especially useful.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

One of my responsibilities is reviewing receipts and per diem claims for business trips. A recurring challenge is that employees sometimes submit expense reports without properly scanning or attaching supporting receipts, making them difficult to review. In such cases, I have to return the reports and request that the receipts be uploaded again before I can approve them.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Emburse Expense Enterprise simplifies the management of employee expenses by providing standardized approval process. It improves visibility, reduces manual effort, helps ensure policy compliance, and enables efficient tracking of both employee-paid and corporate card expenses.

**Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2026

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The most helpful aspect of Emburse Expense has to be the easy-to-use categorization features, that enable you to easily identify areas of expenses incurred, document them quickly, and see your overall expense report immediately, as you build it.  The UI is extremely easy to use and intuitive, even for first time users, and the time it takes to document a full expense report is definitely reduced from previous expense reporting tools that we've had.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Although handled on an organization-by-organization basis,  the categorization options can often seem to roll over each other and without clear examples or documented rules for each category, selecting the right one can cause a negative experience.  Additional time should be dedicated to setting up categories with easy-to-understand rules and guides.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previous expense tracking tools we used acted more like spreadsheets and outlined, line by line, whatever you entered.  They offered selections for things like expense categories, dates, etc. but they did not contain the easy-to-use UI of Emburse Expense, and they also did not offer the incredibly easy-to-upload receipt tracking feature.  All in all, using Emburse Expense has saved me significant amounts of time and increased my accuracy with regard to completing reports timely.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The system is still snappy and easy to use. Everything is broken down into logical easy to find buckets for what type of expense is needed to be added along with integrations with Uber and a companion app to upload receipts to the receipt view.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The Desktop app is still needed to be utilized if something is started on the iOS app. It would be nice to be able to start and finish expenses on the iOS app without the desktop version being necessary for me to go into.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When I travel for work and incur expenses this provides an easy way to be reimbursed.

Once you are familiar, it is very user friendly. Picking which code to use can sometimes be challenging, but it is awesome that the expenses automatically show up to be reconciled.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Our accounting department wants each invoice number on a separate line, and sometimes (specifically with Amazon), multiple invoices are in the same charge. I have to manually type out spaces to get the invoice numbers on separate lines.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The automation.  Prior to Emburse Expense (formerly Chrome River) our T&E process was very manual - Emburse brought our T&E process into the 21st century, allowing the process to become highly automated, thereby reducing pain points and making it easy to use.  Customer Support has been great - they have been attentive to any issues we've encountered, and our initial implementation process was thorough and relatively painless.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The mobile app was slow at times , but Emburse has made improvements, making the app more user friendly for all types of expenses.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Emburse Expense has removed a lot of the manual processes that used to exist in our T&E system.  From the user, all the way through the approval process and payment, Emburse has tremendously improved the efficiency of our T&E process from start to finish.  Gone are the days of paper expense reports and baskets of support.  Emburse has streamlined everything, and the OCR makes capturing the data simple.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Unhappy with the system stability.  I am an Admin for our portal but once or twice a year my access to Emburse Analytics is removed.  I am also unable to access the support team and need to reach out to my account representative in order to get my access restored.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The OCR has improved some but the lack of AI elements to help with coding for our people would still be appreciated.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Love having a product that our people can use from everywhere and provides us with a place to digitally store our corporate credit card receipts.  The digital document trail and approval audit tracking helps speed financial statement audits and makes accessing support documents much easier.

The features have really been sped up to make the transactions move faster and money settle quicker. 

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Still agree that reporting needs to be enhanced. There should be a tool online that produces really good analytics and metrics in a dashboard bug I can’t seem to find this. 

**Recommendations to others considering Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense):**

The initial setup is the most crucial feature of onboarding to ChromeRiver. All of the Entity feeds have to be set up and also proper connection to a firm's Accounts Payable system can be intensive. Also, the compliance business rules are critical for ensuring speed and ease of use by the users.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are solving the ease of making the easiest possible user experience for our associates and easily attaching receipts to expense line items and submitting reports. The tracking button also is a huge benefit that can provide guidance for us, as system admins, to reach out to associates who have questions.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Upside is that it stores the information easily and the coding process of clicking codes and allocating them is very simplistic.  I like the icons and the ease of the fields to select to enter the information. Also the ability to take a photo of a receipt directly from the app and have it automatically attach itself to the proper receipt is a game changer.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

It's cumbersome sometimes to switch from one expense report to another, or including fledgling receipts that are not inserted into one of the draft reports already.  I found it difficult to back out of a report, and then attach a un allocated receipt and then include it into a report.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Solves the ease of coding expenses which is always a hard thing to make the time to do. It's also easy to do on PC or on the phone app.  having the ability to do either one is quite handy.  Also the ability to take a photo of a receipt directly from the app and have it automatically attach itself to the proper receipt is a game changer.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Once you figure out how to use it, it is not difficult. It looks nice as well.  It performs very well and is very quick

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

It is not intuitive.  You definitely have to read the directions and there is a rather steep learning curve

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is solving our credit card expense reporting and it is a great benefit to me because there is a seamless flow from one department to another.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Our team has loved the imrpovements in automation, customization, and ease of use. We also love how easy it is to be an administrator with Expense. We have full control over configuration of everything - from UDAs, Workflow, Submit Compliance, and Export configurations.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

This isn't so much about Expense, but about the Emburse platform as a whole. We love the backend configurability for the Pre-Approval and Expense modules, but we wish we had the same functionality/ability for PO and Invoice. For PO/Invoice, we still have to submit tickets to Emburse for them to do the configuration on the backend. While they are quick/efficient to respond, it would still be nice to own that process on our side like we do with Pre-Approval and Expense.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We utilize Chrome River for PO and Invoice processing, so including Expense managment (both Pre-Approval and Expense modules) has simplified our end-user experience by having everything in one palce for our staff to handle their financial responsibilities. We also leverage Emburse's virtual credit card program (Emburse vPay), which natively works with the Expense Management platform, making it a seemless and efficient process.

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2026

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The best part about Emburse Expense Enterprise is that each expense report calculates the totals for you.  Another good part is that you can upload the receipts by dragging them over.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

What is least helpful about Emburse Expense Enterprise is that you cannot adjust the total of an expense report when you notice receipt totals were initially submitted inaccurately.  another dislike about this software is that you are unable to see more than one set of four (4) attachments at one time on one entry.  It would be helpful if you could scroll to see all attachments to an expense report (just as you can in Adobe PDF portfolio or any other similar software). Thank you for reading this.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Emburse Expense Enterprise solves the problem of manually calculating expenses, which leaves room for error.  Another problem-solving feature is that it saves paper and printing expenses.

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

The automation of routing rules and state compliance items.  Plus the ability of having so many items at the Admin fingertips to better facilitate our internal process as been very helpful. UPDATE on review 10/29/25 - it has been increasingly easier to incorporate enhancements that better serve our institution.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Over the last 2 years there are global changes to the platform that are not conducive to higher ed which sometimes makes it difficult for our overall acceptance of the platform for future use.

**Recommendations to others considering Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense):**

Be sure to know what your constituents need to get their jobs done.  Include multiple departments and users into a User Group to create ideas and strategies.  Biggest question to ask yourself - "what are you doing to yourselves that truly isn't necessary and complicates your process".

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time reduction in paper-flow; automated approvals and elimination of paper.  Recently during the COVID19 pandemic, we have been able to capture all expense related to COVID through the exceptional reporting based on our additions of Activity Codes within the platform to track the items.  Easy expense category add on. UPDATE 10/29/25 - Emburse assisted our need to incorporate Non-travel into our already successful Travel platform which had a major impact across our campus for consistency and user ease.

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2026

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

Much is intuitive. AI is great, but it doesn't always work smoothly with hotel bills, although it seems to be getting better compared to a few weeks ago.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

So that the tax allocation can only be entered after an "error message" pops up. Why can't it be entered right away? 
With guest entertainment, it's always terrible too. When I enter internal/external colleagues, I often have to check and uncheck some boxes until it accepts my entries without an error message. What is the reason for this? This is always the worst input form!

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For billing without guest entertainment, a very good tool.

Sometimes the system becomes slow while opening or reviewing expense reports, especially during approvals. There are occasional loading delays which affect the experience. Performance and speed can be improved further to make the process smoother. A faster search for past reports would also help.

Taking photos of receipts and then sharing them on the platform.  AI should be able to see that we are traveling and be able to categorize each charge and expedite reimbursements quickly.  Perhaps have a site where this is organized and we simply check off each expense as we go real time.

**Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2026

**What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

What I like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise is that its service is electronic over physical paper. So it's possible to take photos of receipts and upload them to a main folder and then search with the AI feature to find the date of the upload and get it attached to the correct expense report. Being able to create groups of individual members on my team is also helpful, although a new group has to be created to adjust people, if I haven't been left behind on that update.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

I dislike that it's still complex and time consuming to use. Way too many clicks to get to where I need to be. Learning how to use it is a curve that's not intuitive, which gets annoying when it's a process to relearn how to use it each month or every other month of assisting my boss in compiling his expense report.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's solving the submission of expense reports and tracking them, which is helpful and great.

I don't need a reciept for meal per diem, but I do for the daily incidentals. That's the only real annoying part of this app.

**What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?**

It's okay once we figure out the company's expense policy. Would like to have more intelligent features like extracting dates / amounts from receipts, understand the company policy natively so it can put a cap on the amount to reimburse. Actually I'd like to see the total I have reimbursed in a year (not sure calendar year or fiscal year, still a company policy question) of each category.

**What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

So far, there has been nothing that I dislike about this software.
