Streamlined workflow and enhanced simplicity with an easy setup
I used AuditBoard primarily for risk assessment questionnaires in a very premature risk environment. I also have experience with IBM OpenPages, mostly for operational risk to track issues, to look at risks and controls The collaboration within my team had not yet significantly changed since…

Rapid compliance program development simplifies complex startup environments
The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance. It can be confusing for individuals who need to understand the scope of regulatory controls and requirements. This complexity can be frustrating both internally and with implementation experts. Additionally, scalability can be overwhelming for smaller organizations.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In AuditBoard, there are all the audit steps, including documentation, archiving, and tracking the progress of audits."
"The most valuable feature of AuditBoard is its ability to facilitate the editing of work papers in a seamless and efficient manner. This is achieved through a built-in tool that allows for real-time editing without the need for downloading the working paper. This feature has proven to be incredibly time-saving for me as it eliminates the step of having to download the file and make changes, instead providing an easy-to-access "edit work paper" option. Overall, this feature has greatly improved my experience with AuditBoard and has been a significant contributor to its success in my opinion."
"The most valuable feature is the well-documented instruction."
"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"I find the most significant elements of this solution are the out-of-the-box reporting, the ease of workflow, workflow management, and the ease of managing our audit process."
"The most significant feature of AuditBoard is its community tools. It provides an internal communication platform that enables users to communicate within the system rather than relying on external tools such as Outlook or Microsoft products. By communicating within the system, all interactions are centralized and accessible, promoting a streamlined workflow."
"AuditBoard has several solutions for governance, internal audit, and other categories."
"The most valuable feature is that everybody can use the same tool. You can give a person permission to use AuditBoard and define their access to the Audit Table. For example, we can allow external auditors or clients to review our completed tests. The clients are attached to specific tests that happen regularly, like inventory counts and asset counts. Debt compliance is only done once annually."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"One of the most beneficial features of the product has been its cloud-based IT and vendor risk management tools, along with built-in templates for GDPR and ISO compliance."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
"We have data from Jira regarding addiction related to Europe as well as California. Additionally, we have data related to the Indian Data Protection Bill. Therefore, GDPR compliance is highly beneficial."
 

Cons

"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"A handful of things in the solution need to be improved. One of them is better communication of updates to the system or tool itself."
"AuditBoard could benefit from the addition of video capabilities, although it is not a necessity. Small companies that cannot afford licenses for Microsoft Teams or Zoom would benefit greatly from this feature, as it would enhance the communication process."
"Some of that flexibility could be enhanced. When comparing Archer and TeamMate+, there is a little more open-ended in terms of certain of our audit processes and procedures. And there is significantly greater freedom in creating ad hoc audit processes and procedures, whereas AuditBoard is a little more limiting in this regard."
"They should improve the solution's test sheets feature for ease of use."
"The layout for the end user could be improved."
"The initial setup is somewhat difficult because it has multiple pieces that need to be stitched together. You have to integrate it with the business unit you want to test if you want to go down from the corporate level to the operational level."
"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"They could improve by offering free help."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"They could improve by offering free help. A solution, a lot of times, is not just the use of the solution. For example, it is the overall engagement, how well do they support the system, what is their SLA, and how long their response time is to an issue. It would be beneficial if they had some type of professional services where they offer the first five hours of professional services a year for free. That would be a substantial benefit rather than having to buy professional services or professional services packages."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I highly recommend this tool as the price is reasonable. However, consistent pricing is important, and having a loyalty program that rewards long-term customers with lower prices would be a great addition."
"Pricing is variable, like with any technology, and is determined by how hard you wish to negotiate. You can get to a price you're willing to pay if you're willing to negotiate aggressively."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"The solution is expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is too expensive, I rate the solution a seven since it falls under the pricey side."
