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.

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.

GBWish i could give SAP Concur zero… Wish i could give SAP Concur zero stars. This has been nothing but a disaster since we went live 3 months ago. All I receive are complaints from the end users and the administrators. It has created MORE work for everyone. We are actually considering going back to paper forms. Seriously, it is that bad. Don't even ask about the surprise billing!

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.

GBNeeds 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).
