The worst app for business travel The worst possible app for business travel. Anytime I’ve booked a flight, it’s always cancelled , not completed in time because of the way their system is not configured by which time the price of a flight has massively increased. I’ve been trying to book a flight for the last five days and this is my third attempt, by which time the flight has increased from £230 to £296. Not to mention the hours of wasted. And because of the price increase it needs to go to a senior Manager for approval because it’s out of business budget. Avoid at all costs, if you’re a business, looking to find a travel booking system, definitely look elsewhere.

SAP Concur is wildly unintuitive… SAP Concur is a wildly unintuitive system. We work with multiple payment platforms, on a monthly basis. SAP Concur is hands down the worst one we use. It has roughly 3 extra steps more than any other platform and has the least useful refencing structure for payments. The automated feedback it does give is deeply unhelpful. The processing of any invoice seems to be on a hair-trigger to be stopped by any number of the steps in authorisation. When it is stopped, getting the process restarted is extremely difficult, with the messaging system seemingly completely ignored. The only presumption I can make is that the company using SAP Concur is using the incorrect system for the requirement. If it is the correct system, it is woefully poor and either the source company or SAP Concur should be doing something about this, it is making both look horribly bad.

Utter misery every single time you have… Utter misery every single time you have to use it. Leads to circling of reports back and forth for eternity over inane details, huge interruptions in work responsibilities, out-of-pocket expenses, interrogation and denial of basic work supplies, and disproportion so that rote work expenses (ink for a printer, lights, insurance) become more time consuming than the core responsibilities these expenses are for. Absolute nightmare. The shadow work of a system like this is a kind of sanctioned theft from employees. Avoid at all costs. Every time I have to use it this system ruins my work flow and my day.

Cannot run an annual mileage report Just when I think Concur couldn't get any more un-user friendly, it comes up with another surprise. I need to run a report for my year end tax return, yet there is no way of doing this unless I have 'reporting' rights. How absolutely useless!!! I just want a tally of my annual business mileage but have had to go to our personnel department. I am now having to keep a book in the car with details of mileage from every trip - I should not have to do this, Concur should be making things easier, not harder.

Needs improvement I use it for my work expenses at my current company and honestly this platform is laughable. It seems like time stopped for them 15 years ago. Not intuitive. Overcomplicated. Forces repetitive inputs. And it never remembers my user name (and yes the toggle and cookies are on).
