"Positive experience with A-Scend"
5/5

A-Scend was easy to use and very logical after gaining some experience with it. It provided the ability to link evidence as required and the dashboard kept me informed about our progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about A-LIGN?

It took a little while to understand the navigation, but aftere gaining a bit of understanding, I could do everything that I needed to do. A bit more documentation on how to navigate would have been helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about A-LIGN?

Each engagement we embark upon runs very well with little issue to deal with. The scheduling and coordination is done well in advance to help ensure we hit our timelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about A-LIGN?

At times there are some assessors that may not see the big picture of things. When this occurs, working with the senior persons are willing to step in and assit the junior assessors to get them aligned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about A-LIGN?

A-SCEND's professional and dedicated staff is extremely organized and comprised of expereienced professionals that have years in the industry. It truly stands out as an industry leader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about A-LIGN?

There are no real hard dislikes on the services provided or the professionals they assign to work each audit year-over-year. The only downside, is that availability of Project Managers, Account Managers and Auditors varies from year-to-year so each annual audit is typically consisting of a new group of employees that we have not already established a relationship with.

"Better than most others"
5/5
What do you like best about A-LIGN?

A-SCEND helps to see immediately where we are in the process and what is next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about A-LIGN?

I see a few places in A-SCEND where a document is listed, but it doesn't provide a direct way to view it. This causes extra navigation, which forces you to leave the page. And A-SCEND doesn't keep track of what you were view before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
