## Reviews

### "Everyone has a card\!" — 5.0/5

> **Dennis** | *17 August 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We have implemented Emburse for all our remote team (aka everyone) that works with us. Each person gets a card shipped with budgets to spend on perks ($500 in Convert's case) and that makes everything run smooth. Then we run almost all budgets through the virtual cards making it easier to decentralize spending on anything. Decentralize is the way to go for us since we run on Holacracy and are all remote.
> 
> **Cons**: Feel it's still missing a direct connection with Xero that could be a big plus. A way to ship a card directly to anywhere in the world (now only US) would save us a logistical step.
> 
> Pretty good, some issues in the part with reissuing cards (always a pain to ship a couple of dozen around the world again) but just happened once so far.

### "Emburse dramatically simplified expenses. My team loves it\!" — 5.0/5

> **Keith** | *14 August 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Emburse makes it incredibly easy to issue expense cards to new employees and ensure that everyone reports back on all the key things you need to close your books. It took an annoying process of internal nagging to get the books closed, to a streamlined automated text message each time someone purchased. It’s amazing.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing significant that I dislike about the product. One quirk is that you’re using pre-paid cards rather than true credit cards, so you have to keep re-upping your balance. But this is automated so it’s not a big deal.

### "Servers Down Constantly Lead to Failures in Purchases" — 3.0/5

> **Sarah** | *14 August 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's become a little more user friendly with drop down menus that you can search in and the ability to add additional attachments.
> 
> **Cons**: The website has been so slow as of late. It takes a few minutes for it to boot up and for me to be able to search for a transaction. It is so inconvenient. The servers have also had issues lately that cause recurring purchases to fail and cause serious issues with our vendors.
> 
> It's a free program, you get what you pay for.

### "Emburse Review" — 4.0/5

> **Aaron** | *19 September 2019* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to leverage both an easy to administer Dashboard along with a rich set of APIs fit our use case perfectly.  It allowed us to quickly launch and integrate our integration while making use of the Dashboard to augment any intermediate needs we had while developing our software.
> 
> **Cons**: We are eagerly awaiting consumer spending support through Emburse.
> 
> The Emburse journey has been excellent the whole way through and customer support has stood out as a major strength the entire way.  From development support during integration to operational support once you are live,  the team at Emburse has always been fast to respond and incredibly informative and helpful.  Can't say enough about their support.

### "Love the debit feature" — 5.0/5

> **Bhakti** | *13 August 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use.  &#10;&#10;Because of the replenishment feature,  we can always keep a set amount of  available funds for our non-employee marketing reps.&#10;&#10;No concerns about excessive numbers of conventional corporate credit cards being used.&#10;&#10;Reconciliation is easy with the month end statement.
> 
> **Cons**: I really do not have any cons to share.&#10;&#10;Our Account Manager and Field Director are both very happy with Emburse.  Our Account Manager was the one pushing for Emburse and I think it was and is a good decision.
> 
> We are very pleased with Emburse.  The support has been responsive -- although we have not needed much support because everything works well and is easy to understand.&#10;&#10;We have very intention of utilizing Emburse as often as we can. We are a marketing and branding company with specialty in the spirits industry and in field marketing. Our usage is based on Client programs that we create and execute.
