Fyle

Vorteile

Great Expense Report solution, we really loved its capability to be compatible and integrated into Gmail and Outlook. The user interaction is very amiable and easy to use. Capturing receipts and uploading them into the app is very simple and straightforward. Its multi currency feature is very helpful for overseas business travels.

Nachteile

Using the tool for management of expenses in the section of approving or rejecting documents do need improvement. Reporting features like visualizing an expense dashboard by category is a big missing. In additional, they do not offer a Free Plan, not a cheap app.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Fyle

Vorteile

The UI is super intuitive and has all of the functionality that is needed in helping sort out expenses within our organization. In addition, any support requests I've submitted have been met with a sense of urgency and tackled in an extremely timely manner. Very impressed with this team!

Nachteile

When filing repeat expenses it would be great if it could auto-populate the fields from the last time the same expense was filed. I was told this functionality was already in place but it doesn't actually seem to work. In addition, it would be great to have the option to tell the system when an expense is not a duplicate. For example, my colleague and I stay at the same hotel on the same night in different rooms. This creates two receipts with the same amount on the same date. The system alerts me that it thinks these expenses are duplicates but it does not give me the option to tell the system that they are both authorized expenses. This in turn causes one of the expenses to not import into Quickbooks. It would be great if this could get fixed.

Vorteile

The collection of most receipts from users and information on the receipts.

Nachteile

It is not customizable in all aspects. Credits are removed from Fyle after 15 days. They can be completed, but it deletes them. Other items I've tried to get changed (allowing all users to be listed in drop downs so you can scroll, but not have to search) are not accommodated. The only customizing they allow are the categories that your people can choose for expenses, which is what you'd expect at a minimum for customizing. I was under the impression that Fyle was created by Fyle and they could adapt as needed. That does not seem to be the case and if you ask for something to be modified, they need multiple screenshots before they will take it to their IT.

Vorteile

this software has a simple and straight user-friendly interface and its speed is awesome. Its powerful management system is very easy to understand and I can get my expense report day by day.

Nachteile

Sometimes it takes time to scan a receipt. Otherwise experience is good for now

Vorteile

This is a great little piece of software for filing expenses. I like that I can also import (Take a picture) the receipt. I keeps track of vendors I use frequently (auto-populates). You can add many expenses, then at the end of the month create a report to send them all at once.

Nachteile

I have had no issues what so ever with this software.

Vorteile

multi-currency options, easily adaptable, multiple accounts possible, easy to approve, comment etc.

Nachteile

It crashes every 4th/5th entry. it's been a real trouble. I use a One plus5T. Haven't recvd adequate support from the customer services.

Vorteile

Easy filing of bills by just a photo taken by our mobile

Nachteile

Not updating bill sometimes and also KM's in milage is not accurate

Vorteile

Simple, Intuitive. Automates mundane tasks easily. Email agent & mobile app is clearly a great productivity driver.

Nachteile

reporting, analysis at the backend are rudimentary. ability to define your specific process is limited.
AI engine doesnt work well enough, its my guess that the process is more manual than AI

Vorteile

Expense tracking, creating an expense from Gmail. User-friendly interface. Mobile app for iOS and Adroid

Nachteile

support email doesn't work for my email. On iOS autologin doesn't work, I need login every time when I run the application. The user guide is poor. Beter create a video tutorial for all actions

Vorteile

Hassle-free, Easy setup and Gmail Add-on, Very easy to fill details, easy to track reports. Overall, a smooth experience.

Nachteile

Mobile mail addons not there, only Google Chrome extensions available. Also, should integrate with Gallery to upload bills directly.

Vorteile

The ease of integration from email to fyle. The plugin is very handy. I also liked the fact that we can club expense reports and make it one final report and submit for approval. The mobile app is also handy to integrate the expense from the photo library.

Nachteile

There is no option to easily report rejection of the report. Its cumbersome.

a) From the Mobile App as a manager I cannot approve or reject a team members report. I have to login in via the web interface.
b) Flagging one expense as invalid or rejected is badly designed. Very Bad user experience and design. The employee has reported 5 expenses and clubbed it under one report. I have to go and reject every expense individually. There should be an option to reject a report fully. Have a button saying Rejected and give a text box to put in comments. Make this button as prominent as the Approve Button.

Vorteile

The software is very useful to keep track record of our expenses we have incurred. the interface is very simple and easy to use. happy with the software.

Nachteile

The only thing I dislike about FYLE is that I have to Mention my journey at least eight days in advance.

Vorteile

FYLE is a simple and useful tool to maintain a track record of our daily expenses. Submitting details of expenses through reports is very easy and the payment system is very fast and easy.

Nachteile

Sometimes it do not calculate the exact mileage or distance. but still is GPS is a great function to calculate the distance in mileage section.

Vorteile

I really love how it is extremely easy to keep track of expenses. I can record my daily expenses and I don't have to worry about losing the bill. It is also very easy to know what expense is what, thanks to the logo near the expense, be it food or travel. The best thing about file is also the auto fyle option which lets you add expenses and not worry about filling the details in

Nachteile

The chronological segregation can be clearer or in a different format rather than the scroll down format because it gets confusing sometimes, when you're filling out multiple expenses at one go.

Vorteile

Is intuitive, user friendly and saves a huge amount of time. sorting out expenses is not my favourite job in the whole world but this makes it so easy! Very impressed with expense submission and the reports generated absolutely cover my requirements.

Nachteile

Not much. have had a couple of glitches related to ineroperability with my anti virus programme but nothing that could be overcome. I have to say that customer support has been incredibly prompt in responding to any (minor) problems I have had

Vorteile

1. Really like the web interface. It's clean, intuitive and easy to use.
2. The Gmail plugin is extremely handy. Filing expenses directly from my mail has made the process error & hassle free

Nachteile

1. The mobile experience is less than ideal. While it gets the job done, the application needs a little more thought around the UX. Too many clicks to get something done.
2. The report generation on the web and the mobile is a little weird. There have been multiple times that I've been confused about what went into a report and what got left out. The reporting feature needs work.

Vorteile

Being a sales person keeping the hard copy was difficult and would often misplace the bills. Now with this software, it is instant uploading which helps us in claiming easily. also no need of maintaining the hard copies. Also helps us keep a check on the spending

Nachteile

report generation . Once generated cannot edit if need be.Also when an item is reported or query is raised, difficult to find the reason for rejecting the item and correct it.

Vorteile

Fyle is exactly what we needed, in these days of technology moving forward in leaps and bounds, Fyle is leading the way by being the first to provide this interactive software program which takes the headache away from keeping track of your spending.
Small or large, no matter the size of your business, you can't go past Fyle, once you try, you will never look back.

Nachteile

The things I didn't like were at the developmental stages, those little bugs have been fixed, and I have nothing but praise for Fyle

Vorteile

With Fyle, filing expenses is as easy as a clicking one single button. Fyle automatically extracts information from emails and parses them into their expense manager eliminating the need for manual entry. This helps save time and effort. Precious, precious tool for enterprises and their people on the go.

Vorteile

User friendly and clean UI is what I like the most.
The best part is the email extension which saves a lot of time!

Nachteile

Really didn't find anything yet, I think we can have some more options in Mobile App. If there is anything will let you know.

Vorteile

The dashboard allows me to keep a track of all my expenses that have been pending, approved or raised with a query. Paper bills are also easy to log with a simple process of click-and-upload. I've noticed that overtime the system has become more intelligent, it auto populates fields from my email invoices; such that a few seconds is all it takes to file an invoice. Fyle has been a life saver; I am now assured that I do not miss out on any of my expense claims.

Nachteile

Nothing comes to mind really, but other gmail plugins sometimes stop working due to the plugin. So I activate the Fyle plugin intermittently.

Vorteile

SYSTEMATIC
EASY TO USE
GOOD INTERFACE
FIRM IN EMBEDDED LOGICS

Nachteile

cant open at system & mobile at once, two bills with same value always shows duplicate,

Vorteile

Keep tracks transactions. Report section awesome. Sync from server is fast. Advance section is good.

Nachteile

Request advance section need fields like expenses to incur for food, accommodation, Local travel, Intercity travel, Fyled from mails not reflecting actual details. from some andriod phone fyle app is not exiting completely.

Vorteile

Easy to use and hassle-free software, I am using this software for more than one year now.
Well designed, The best feature is to grab the details from emails,

Nachteile

Sometimes it is very annoying if it not logged in immediately. the login website will not work
https://app.fyle.in/app/chromeext/index.html#/login this link I am unable to open in my laptop.
Instead of this I am using https://app.fyle.in/app/#/main/my_reports to login in to my account

Vorteile

The system flexibility and scalability is an appreciated feature. The onboarding and customer support has been superior.

Nachteile

You cannot split charges between different divisions presently, but we have been assured that this feature will be available in the very near future.

Vorteile

Easy yet configurable to our unique needs. We have a single employee with multiple reports which is not the norm in the industry. The other big expense systems could not handle this simple requirement.

Nachteile

Slight semantic differences between an Indian company vs US norms.

Vorteile

This solution is way more intuitive than any other expense management solution I have ever used. One of the biggest issues with expense management tools I have used earlier was that I had to set aside one day in a month to file expenses. With Fyle, the same task takes about 15 minutes. The Auto-Fyle feature where one can take a photo of the receipt is a godsend. The good part is that it is able to detect handwritten invoices, which are very common in India, with great accuracy. The gmail and outlook plugins are sensible additions, all designed to reduce the friction in the expense reporting process. The analytics is pretty good, and tells me who are my top expense vendors, who my top spenders are

Nachteile

Not much to complain about Fyle really, so will list down some feature requests. A feature to approve or reject a report by replying to the mail notification would be good to have. It currently does not have direct integration with popular taxi apps like Uber, Ola which would be good. Sometimes users submit reports after 2 months, and if there was some way to map the expenses by the bill date to the respective month of expenditure incurred, rather than the reporting month, that would be nice.

Vorteile

There are many features in your app, the most loved one is the option to switch between reimbursable or not. Because i use this app for both personal use and office use. So its get really simple for me to distinguish between them and get the same reported to the higher authority and get that reimburse. This app just cut of the long procedure which i had to first follow in order that get the clarified, but now its very much easy and effective.

Second best thing i like is the mail plugin you guys have it directly takes the expense record from my mails and add it to the app so that i can track the expense.

last but the most important feature of the app that i like is the reporting section. which directly helps in making the expense report and sent to the accounts department so that they can approve it after checking.

Nachteile

The unavailability of edit (crop) option in a picture after you have clicked it, i think is a drawback to the app and should be changed.

Vorteile

Gathering your receipts to create an expense report can be a bit tiring. It helps if your receipts are all organized. I found Fyle to be ideal for this task. First, I converted all my receipts into digital copies and saved them in one folder. Then I uploaded these to Fyle and created my expense report. This software made it easy for me to itemize my expenses and track everything. This app also allows you to extract the receipts from your email which is very convenient for me. I can complete my reports right away. Fyle provides accuracy with no delays.

Nachteile

This program is not good with obtaining the mileage for travel. I have to look at Google Maps to do that and this is an extra step for me. I hope they can add this feature.

Vorteile

Ease of use. The Gmail plugin is awesome. Also the phone app helps me file expenses on the go. But this form is irritating as it is forcing me to type at least 100 characters while I don't have anything more to say!

Nachteile

The previous versions were more intuitive and helped me file faster. The new version takes more time for me to file.

Vorteile

Ease of capturing the expenses, using camera and simple typing.

Nachteile

Does not have dashboard to visualize the categories of expenses. Also difficulty in generating reports. Does not have a feature to include mode of payment - Cash, Card, paytm, netbanking etc. Reimburse option is not used by me as all expenses are personal and I cannot remove it.

Vorteile

Easy to capture receipts and set up expense reports from phone. Also extracts dates and amounts from receipts.

Nachteile

If I have manually entered the amounts / dates before uploading receipt, the amounts / dates are still extracted and overwrite my manually entered values.

Vorteile

The automatic capture from the image is a brilliant feature - just take images and watch it complete the rest. The app is easy to use and the integration with Gmail makes it simple to "fyle" anything.

Nachteile

When comments are made on the bills submitted, it is not easy to make out who the comment is for. As a manager, I get many notifications and they are not always relevant for me.

Vorteile

As a consultant that travels a lot and has a lot of expenses, I need a very easy to use system to keep track of everything to bill back my clients. I looked at a lot of different systems, and selected Fyle as the best, most cost-effective alternative. It is very easy to use and the QuickBooks integration is seemless and saves me a ton of time.

Nachteile

Any issues (or even suggestions on ease of use) that I have had have been addressed by the company very quickly (less than a week).

Vorteile

Simplicity - I tried out three different expense management services and Fyle was the best in user-friendly design. All the other vendors did not know what they were doing when it comes to UI/UX.

For example one vendor's app had 13 menu buttons in a small smartphone screen. (Is this a finger puzzle or something?)

Another vendor's web app had way too many windows and tab layouts in one screen that with my 13 inch laptop, I could not read the letters because the font size was too small. (It is 2018 and yet they don't know responsive web design?)

Fyle's web app and smartphone app were both well-designed and simply easy to use.

Nachteile

I don't like the fact that Fyle made my life so easy that I will not be able to go back to my analog days where I manually input numbers and formulas in spreadsheets, pasting paper receipts with glue and wondering when my expense is going to be reimbursed until spotting the report I submitted over a week ago is still sitting at the very bottom of a pile of documents on my boss's desk.

Vorteile

Very easy to use. Adding expenses, creating reports all of it is simple and straight-forward. The UI is not complicated.

Nachteile

The app is a little laggy and sometimes sticks. It mostly happens while taking a photo directly from the app. I have had to close the app and start again.

Vorteile

I'm a freelance consultant (Remote Web Developer) and I like the ease with which I can file my bills. It's just few clicks and it's all there filed in a beautiful application at the back end.

Nachteile

It cannot recognise prices from all invoices or bills and sometimes it captures the currency wrongly.

Vorteile

It was integrated into gmail. There was a mobile app that allowed me to capture receipts on the fly.

Nachteile

Repeated asked me to log in. Icon got disproportionately large at times. When I went through a period of time that I did not use the software, they deleted the account without warning.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Fyle

Vorteile

The introduction of File has been a huge advantage and time optimization for us consultants who work on multiple projects at the same time and still need to launch home expenses one of the projects daily.

Nachteile

I haven't had difficulties yet, the software always served me well

Vorteile

the thing i like about FYLE is that its fast processing from creating reports to payments done. I get my payments in my account within a working day. I like the smoothness of the process.

Nachteile

sometimes I have to make urgent tours to another city. but for outstation travel i have to mention my travel at least 8 days in advance. but that may be the part of the policy of the company.

Vorteile

Is good, simple, basic and straight to the point. Take a photo of your receipts, enter a description and you're done.

Nachteile

-It's almost perfect. Could use improvements in the "In-Camera" mode. My Cat S60 (Android 6.0) was unable to take a good photo of ANY of my 70 receipts. No matter how steady my hands were when i was taking photos, all photos came out jittery. I do not exaggerate when i say i had to take about 3-10 photos of each receipt until i had a half decent one that wasn't too shaky.

Vorteile

The chrome extension for the GMail parsing and fyling expenses. As soon as an invoice/receipt comes in mail it can be filed. In the past I have not claimed expenses, because it has become tedious to find out the correct receipt from the correct email, after a few months (I get a lot of emails). With this new extension, I can immediately file the expense, straight out of my email, without doing an expensive context switch. The process of fyling is just single click, where most of the important information is already intelligently extracted by the program. There is very less mental energy required to file expenses (which is what used to delay the activity in the first place in old days).

Nachteile

I wish there are easier ways to import employees, re-imburse money to employees, through quickbooks and quickbooks pay.

Vorteile

This is user friendly app ....like it most because the business expense on your finger trips just a click and upload the expense bill....you can hassle free review of your team member.
App dashboard is fantastic review of all expense you can track and manage all things.

Nachteile

App and desktop version is not same ....Desktop version is better than app

Vorteile

its attractive! great customer service km km type

Nachteile

it took multiple calls to help get personal cards to properly work. then had nothing but issues

Vorteile

it should show total monthly amount in a window at the time of new entry.

Nachteile

distance are not actual, like my work location to my home is 21 km but in fyle it shows 17 km only, which we can not change all the time doing new entry.

Vorteile

The UI/UX is clear and easy to understand, clear functions and quick filling options.
Easy upload of bills is added advantage

Nachteile

Distance calculation is wrong, it is throwing errors and wrong distance calculation for returns dispite using google maps which is creating my loss in actual distance travelled and distance claimed, also repeat visits cannot be updated as well.

Vorteile

That it makes tedious claim submission easy and hassle free. No more manual tracking of receipts and excel sheet record, now I can just snap photos of receipt anywhere anytime. The report generating feature is really useful as well, definitely helped me save a lot of time so I can focus on actual work and not let admin tasks get in the way.

Nachteile

Sometimes the app takes time to load. Some entries were already submitted with attachment but wasn't tagged as attachment available when I review my monthly report so need to double check.

Vorteile

The software is online and can be accessed from any device , anywhere at my convenience and it's hassle free storage of file with daily entries gives an extra edge. It becomes easy to report, and send attachment without hard copies. Easy to understand and read reports, provide analysis and recollect all that which can be forgotten on a day to day basis. Help to improvise and plan better for a result oriented work plan.

Nachteile

When we enter 2 days entries at a time , the total accrued amount is not displayed on screen, have to scroll back to Home page to check the Figures.

Vorteile

The ease of use to filing reimbursements for different use cases is the best part about the software.

Nachteile

Would like it if it pulls in more information automatically from emails and other applications.

Vorteile

The User interface is simple to learn and use. It allows for a lot of customization. It is great for organisations of all sizes.

Nachteile

Sometimes when you over customize, it will ruin the user experience so any organisation planning to use FYLE should make sure that the customization is done selectively and with caution.
