The support is also really great even though they're a large company. > > **Cons**: I'm not easily finding how to make the attachments mandatory. Otherwise very happy with my experience. > > Easy and fun \! ----- ### "Positive about Zoho Expense" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *17 November 2025* | Management Consulting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It enables the quick capture of receipts through autoscan, and takes pictures of receipts for tax purposes > > **Cons**: I could not delegate receipt capturing to users outside the organisation, i.e. consultants, etc. for them to also allocate their receipts for billing purposes. > > Overall a very positive experience using Zoho Expense as it enables the digitising of receipts through utoscn, nd retaining images for tax purposes. ----- ### "My experience on zoho expense" — 4.0/5 > **Jishnu** | *30 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Almost everything was really good, I like its cost effectiveness, support and the amazing features. the user interface was awesome. there were not much bugs and issues I came across . the initial set up was easy . the security of the software was outstanding as it provides more authentication features. > > **Cons**: nothing much on the current version as I am still evaluating, havent found any issues or cons as of now > > helped me to organise the expense and advances effectively which were in total mess earlier. the approval flow also helped to keep track of the records. ----- ### "Reliable expense management with strong support, but limited flexibility" — 4.0/5 > **Camille** | *29 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Their customer support team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Support tickets are handled quickly, and follow-ups are consistent until issues are resolved. This has been especially valuable during initial setup and configuration. I am grateful for the customer support team's responsiveness. They are very knowledgeable. I want to shout out to Iftesham who has been so amazing through out. > > **Cons**: Some core configurations are rigid, particularly around base currency, advances, and how expenses are categorized across projects or departments. The learning curve for admins is steeper than expected. So I'm glad they have 2 free hours of onboarding. > > Zoho Expense is a solid expense management tool with strong reporting I look forward to being fully set up so I can integrate with the other apps particularly Zoho Books. It seems to work well for day-to-day expense tracking and approvals, but it is less flexible for organizations with complex, multi-currency, or donor-funded structures like ours. With clearer documentation and more configurable options, it could be significantly stronger for nonprofit and international teams. ----- ### "Not the best software on the market." — 3.0/5 > **Cordell** | *10 December 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Zoho was great for submitting expenses and it has great organizational tools for monthly submittance. > > **Cons**: Zoho was a little overcomplicated with it's expense reporting. It pales in comparison to other expense reporting platforms. > > We ultimately switched to a different platform due to the overcomplication for submitting receipts. Our team was having issues with the amount of steps. ----- Page: 1 / 49\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142384/zoho-expense?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142384/zoho-expense) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
