Nothing at the moment, appears to be a great control and addition to our risk framework Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CIMCON Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are maturing the data classification program at our Bank by improving the request and approval processes of changes for critical EUC's that run the business as a byproduct of shadow IT performed by various lines of businesses accordingly. Risk reduction is realized since only authorized and approved changes to critical spreadsheets and databases are performed as well as full visibility and awareness to critical functions of the Bank that leverage the reports, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CIMCON is an excellent product."

5/5

What do you like best about CIMCON Software?

The CIMCON products are very flexible to meet our companies needs. The various modules are simple to learn - not so simple to master! CIMCON personnel have been extremely knowledgeable and responsive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CIMCON Software?

The various modules are simple to learn - not so simple to master! And the technology seems to be more complicated than usual to implement and properly configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CIMCON Software:

We evaluated several products and CIMCON outperformed - by far! The sales & support personnel are extremely knowledgeable and responsive. Much like Microsoft Excel, the more you learn about the CIMCON products, the more it will be able to do for you! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CIMCON Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to review all aspects of files that impact our financials before our public filings! Like many companies, some of our files have many worksheets and many formulas. CIMCON products are going to allow us to review exceptions rather than spend time reviewing each cell or even each worksheet. This give management an even higher level of confidence prior to signing off! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Product!"

5/5

What do you like best about CIMCON Software?

The ease of use, plethora of available tools, and the overall functionality of this tool is what I view as the leading causes of why this very useful and beneficial to our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CIMCON Software?

While this tool is excellent overall, I would say the only item which could use improvement is the speed at which the tool sometimes works. On larger spreadsheets the tool has a tendency to lag when running items such as Workbook Analysis, but I know this is due to the large amounts of data being analyzed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CIMCON Software:

This is a great tool that should be considered if you work with large amounts of workbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CIMCON Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prudential has been using this tool enterprise-wide. While it was first purchased to provide a benefit to Finance Model Affirmations, other parties in Prudential are using it for daily workbook analysis and documentation purposes. This tool has saved many users hours of work when considering the automation CIMCON Software provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CIMCON Software:

Its a great company with great people working for it. All are friendly and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CIMCON Software solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use EUC Insight, which is our go to tool for managing EUDAs/EUC's. It allows us to stay in control of our End User Developed Applications as well as managing the risk associated with them. We use Discovery to locate our EUDAs, XL-Audit to validate them, and Change Management to control and monitor them. Having a global view of our EUDA population in EUC Insight allows us to affectively manage the risks while relieving the business of such tasks as reporting EUDA volumes and status on a monthly basis.
