## Reviews

### "Great tool but not perfect" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 March 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Abacus is an interesting tool and definitely innovates within the space. It has helped many people with its work.
> 
> **Cons**: Although it helps people, the UI can always use some improvement to keep it from being slow. New integrations would also be welcome.

### "Abacus as a simple and worthwhile expense tool." — 5.0/5

> **Bryant** | *3 May 2018* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Abacus has so many feature, it is practically limitless. We were able to use it to shorten our expense process drastically. Not to mention the fact that the Abacus team is extremely helpful. Their introduction emails answer your questions before you even have a chance to ask them\! For us, Abacus was the perfect choice as it offered us both a simple and practical expense platform to start with as well as a technology we will be able to use moving forward and integrate with our accounting software as our sales representatives become more aware of the product. (Which isn't too tough\! Its incredibly simple to use\!) Pricing is at a great point as well. However, if a user does not submit an expense they will not pay for that month\! I would not trust those who offer "free expense software." Those at Abacus are professionals, hands down, no doubt.
> 
> **Cons**: I really have few cons for the software. I think it would be nice to see more instructional videos that we could share with our sales team so that we did not have to explain the software to them. That being said, the software is intuitive and we had few problems helping everyone get up to speed. All in all, there is little to complain about considering how much bang you get for your buck.

### "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.

### "Great software" — 4.0/5

> **Matthew** | *21 December 2017* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This automated our process and allowed us to go completely paperless which was a big deal for our organization\!

-----

### "Makes expensing a lot easier" — 5.0/5

> **Mal** | *22 October 2019* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Abacus is a really easy way to submit receipts and costs for reimbursement without too much hassle. The interface is very simple - just drag and drop images or PDFs of your receipts.
> 
> **Cons**: It's hard to have a timeline of when costs will be approved, since that depends on the administrator or manager manually saying yes to them (at least in our case). But, once funds are approved it's pretty quickly deposited into your bank account.
> 
> Much easier to use compared to previous reimbursement systems I've used (paper receipt submission / using spreadsheets).
