What differentiates Certify from other similar products?

I appreciated the UI of Certify more than comparable products, such as Concur, that I've used. Easier to navigate, less steps to submit a report, more intuitive flow, and better visibility as a manager to approvals and bookings.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of expense approvals as both a manager and a submitter.

What do you dislike most about this product?

My organization added quite a few required fields that weren't always necessary, which made it a bit more cumbersome than it should be to submit, but this could be easily adjusted for another organization.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Establish clear ownership and take feedback from users to make the process simple.
