Carbide Reviews & Product Details

The upsides are the platform is very thorough and has a lot of functionality and data. You can set up your company and your policies as you see fit. Using evidence and setting tasks is also a great feature to help the process flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Without the professional services or without background on the policies it can be very difficult to understand them and you need the background. This is not Carbides fault, but an industry fault. I think if there was better examples on the Carbide platform of similar sized and similar field businesses as examples that would help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It uses semantic versioning for keeping track of updates to policies. It allows you to see a history of versions and to identify which updates need new acknowledgements and which are minor updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web application is consistently slow to load, which is tough when you're trying to work through or assign a bunch of tasks. And I'm not finding a lot of guidance about what to do in the software. Fortunately, we have a security professional helping us navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The comprehensive listings of policies along with their templates are great to build your portfolio of security policies and ensure you are aligned with the standards that make sense for your business. The built-in training programs are also nice for making sure all staff members are up-to-date on requirements for security and privacy-focused practices. Storing the policies in Markdown format is convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Carbide was great to get started to build our portfolio of policies, we find the ongoing operational value to be lacking. Even with policies in place, having an easier search engine and content repository for answering security questionnaires would be great. We have been offered services to support these requirements in the past by Carbide, but we'd rather find a software platform that helps us rather than hire an individual to do the work for us. After the first year once we have all the documentation in place, continuing to pay the same annual subscription fee might not make as much sense without ongoing benefits on top of the fairly static policies.

I like the project management features which allow us to delegate tasks to our team without inputting everything into another system manually Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not enough guidance for evidence. We have to ask our account rep for templates or advice on what might be acceptable evidence. This ends up being a large pitfall, as we end up spending a lot of time trying to figure out what we can use for evidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We turned to Carbide to help us create a path to policy formalization. They perfectly fit between mere policy version control system and a full vCISO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Carbide is a relatively young product. There's the occasional caution sign and construction tape. My contacts Michael, Cody, and Diane have shown a passion for continuous improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By using carbide learned about security things. After completing the survey I understood the security importance. the platform looks simple and easily understandable to everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After completing the survey it takes time to submit the quiz questions. something quite slow. The user interface looks simple but pretty old, the UI needs to improve much more. Fonts looks nice but other than header font colors should be changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Carbide provides an easy-to-use platform with internationally recognized privacy/security frameworks built-in such that we (the end users) can work towards enhancing our prisec practices, knowledge and compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We felt that early on in our relationship with Carbide, we had alot of great advice and more frequent contact with the Carbide team. As time went on over the past year or so, the points of contact (meetings) significantly reduced. Having more sustained, synchronous (face-to-face) contact on a regular basis would be appreciated, particularly as a young startup company with limited prisec knowledge/skills within our team.

User management is easy, and groups allow you to automate a lot of the heavy lifting. Adding and editing content is simple. The ease of automating all of these tasks that used to involve a lot of manual tracking makes it extremely effective for us. There are also a lot of integrations that allow importing and monitoring of data from many tools, such as GitLab, Google Cloud, etc which make the process so much faster.

As an admin, my only real complaint is the sheer number of notifications generated. Every few days I'll end up with 100 or more notifications, meaning I often miss important notifications. It would be great to be able to manage and select which notifications you receive, or at least group them together (eg User completed 25 quizzes, as opposed to individual notifications for each quiz completed).

Easy to use and a support team that helps the users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not any I dislike. Their team continues to improve the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Carbide allows you to become compliant in multiple frameworks at once and it maps out common controls among different frameworks so you do not need to repeat efforts anywhere. It makes getting multiple certifications easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, the option to filter among other frameworks is disabled which has caused some problems with helping customers through project plans. When the filtering option is available, it is easier to focus on what really matters for each unique certification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
