Considerations
The sheer breadth of apps and configuration options can create a steep learning curve, particularly for companies without technical resources
While individual modules are broad, they may lack the depth of best-in-class standalone solutions in specialized areas like advanced warehouse management or transportation management
Enterprise features, professional hosting, and support require paid subscriptions; the free Community edition lacks many advanced apps
Expense cards and certain payment features are limited to specific geographic regions (e.g., expense cards only available in select European countries)
