## Reviews

### "Quickbooks" — 5.0/5

> **Lissa** | *14 December 2018* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We can easily track our expenses and stay on top on them.
> 
> **Cons**: We like everything about this software.  It's easy to use

### "Love abacus\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *10 January 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Abacus is great. It’s very straightforward and super user friendly. I think it’s extremely easy to streamline the entire expense process.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing really\! I’m just a user on the platform but I find it extremely easy to use and have no issues at all explaining to new hires how to use.

-----

### "Non-Existent Customer Support" — 1.0/5

> **Brian** | *3 January 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very simple to use.  Gets the job done with very little training
> 
> **Cons**: Terrible Customer Service.  Abacus-Emburse makes frequent software updates and does not test before release.  We have had several incidences of the software not working due to updates that to not function or lock users from completing tasks.
> 
> The latest is a requirement for all users to add a personal bank account for reimbursements.  We do not reimburse personal purchases with this App, and now users cannot approve expenses without adding a personal account.  This has been a known issue for over 2 months with no fix.  Users must use online version to complete expenses.  Very inefficient.

-----

### "Best Expense Tracker" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *21 March 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easiest to use expense tracking software. Just snap a receipt and send to your approving manager gets notified. Quick and easy to categorize expenses appropriately, as well.
> 
> **Cons**: No cons, been very happy with Abacus and current and prior companies that have used this software.

-----

### "Very user friendly and straight forward" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 December 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The way the mobile app and web app work together makes it very easy to upload receipts from your phone and manage your expenses on your laptop.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the mobile app will crash or not function properly - its not quite as built out as the web app.
> 
> We switched from Concur to Abacus to handle our employee T\&amp;E.
