Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros userfriendly interface and standalone version concept & data on local drive, this is exactly what business owner needs something that would not put their business data on cloud. Cons I have been using it for couple of weeks now and found no cons till now.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Visibility, clarity, automations, simplicity. It's been a breeze using the tool for recurring charges, online payments, travel expenses, etc. LOVE how easy it is to track all my expenses and not have to use a physical credit card every time for business expenses and then submit for reimbursement. The best part is that it automatically fills in merchants and vendors, copies the card to your clipboard for easy form fill, and sends reminders if you're missing a receipt for a transaction. Cons It took my company some time to work out how to manage recurring expenses or 1x expenses that are payable to the employee. Not sure if that is related to my company's policy or a complexity of the system. My only nitpick is that once you've submitted an expense request's frequency, you can't change it (from one-time to recurring), and you have to contact an admin to adjust amounts or approvers.
