Good Grief
MAUtter 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.

GBSAP 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.

GBSAP Concur should have zero stars If I could give SAP Concur zero stars, I would. My employer, New York University, switched to SAP Concur to handle our travel and expense items last month. It is an unmitigated disaster. Every faculty member and administrator is complaining--people aren't getting their out-of-pocket expenses processed, there's no response from the "tech teams" at SAP Concur. Our in-house NYU tech managers and finance directors are also voicing their extreme dissatisfaction. Did anyone read these TERRIBLE Trust Pilot reviews beforehand? One has to wonder.

GBIf I wasn't forced to use Concur at… If I wasn't forced to use Concur at work, I would never, ever use it. It is very buggy and unreliable. Sometimes it recognizes receipt amounts, and sometimes it just flat refuses. The UI is very lethargic and randomly does not save information. It allows you to link partners like Uber, Lyft, etc with the promise that receipts will e-receipt, but they never do. Perhaps the worst is that it forces you to pick the absolute, barrel bottom flight. Even with the highest airline status, you are unable to choose a seat or even make changes unless you pay an exorbitant amount for a higher priced flight that would be the same cost as the cheapest flight when booking direct with the airline.

GBSolid travel and expense solution. Not sure what is going on with all of the 1 star reviews. We have used Concur for about 10 years and are very happy with it. I suspect either the solution was sold to smaller firms that don’t have internal resources to support the app or it was sold and configured by an unqualified 3rd party. Their mobile app is stable and easy to use. The app has the ability to take a picture of your receipt, auto crop, and auto discover the transaction type and value. Saves me a ton of time. Filing a report is also very straightforward. We also use it to book our travel. I think your success here will depend upon the travel agency partner you choose. Otherwise we were very happy with the functionality offered. We integrated Concur with our Oracle ERP. The expense data are imported directly into the GL with all of the correct coding. Saves the finance team a ton of time. Their services and support team was good. Although, they were better before their acquisition by SAP. Overall, I would buy Concur again.
