## Reviews

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

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 13, 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.

### "Easiest Way to Manage Your Business Transactions" — 5.0/5

> **Rebecca** | *October 10, 2017* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the Abacus. It's extremely easy to navigate your way throughout the site, and it takes only a few seconds to upload images of your receipt/add a quick description of your expense. I also like that you can create different categories and can require specific fields to be answered. This is extremely useful on the admin side when users are uploading their information for Corporate expenses. It leaves less room for exclusions to me made. This programs took me approximately 30 minutes to learn and I've used it every day since.
> 
> **Cons**: My least favorite thing about this product is just the price, honestly. I feel it is a bit high, but the product is great and the customer service is very helpful, so all in all it's worth the money.
> 
> This software tremendously helps the accounting team at our Firm. It also helps the users who are required to submit corporate expenses. The categories and customization fields allow this product to be extremely useful.

### "Buyer Beware" — 3.0/5

> **Mike** | *December 11, 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Probably  a decent product. My issues are the fact that using their shared servers causes a frustrating experience when accessing our software each time.
> 
> **Cons**: Very aggravating interface. I believe they have deceptive marketing practices.
> 
> We left Insynq after 6 years, after their hacking experience and went to Cloud 9. We did not like Cloud 9 at all and went back to Insynq. Now Cloud 9 tells us we are locked in for 36 months. We tried to reduce users from 3 to 1 (which was our original user count) and they say we can't do that either. Need I say more ? \! These people are dishonest in my view. Insynq are wonderful to deal with \!\!\!

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

> **Bryant** | *May 3, 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.

### "Great software" — 4.0/5

> **Matthew** | *December 21, 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\!
