"It's the easiest way to code expenses than anything else I've used in 20 years."

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust and Dynamic Expense Management System"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"There are a few enhancements suggested to improve the User experience."

3.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
