Trying to grow at a pace that is too quick for the resources and support on hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how AuditBoard has simplified our controls management through its effective SOCS hub, providing the structure necessary for our department's needs. The data modeling is brilliantly executed, making it straightforward to fit our existing structures seamlessly, which was crucial for our implementation. AuditBoard has been instrumental in solving our visibility issues, providing all users, especially those tasked with specific controls, clear accountability. This enhancement of ownership and accountability is hugely beneficial and facilitates task accomplishment across users. I am particularly fond of the workstream feature, which has proven to be the most impressive part of AuditBoard for me. Even though it's underutilized, its potential to be applied to a variety of tasks and the ease with which it allows tagging within a company amplifies its usefulness significantly.

The reporting function in AuditBoard isn't necessarily great and is currently underutilized. It is an area where it's critically important to be used by both external auditors and internal users of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it was to set up AuditBoard, which made the transition to a new system smooth and stress-free.

This centralization significantly streamlines my workflow, eliminating the need for multiple platforms and reducing the complexity of audit management. The control library, work streams, and testing features stand out as particularly useful, enhancing the ease with which I can manage and execute my tasks. I am impressed with the increased automation and effective integrations, which have improved efficiency and allowed for more streamlined operations. The platform's ability to integrate seamlessly with Asana for project management further complements its utility.

I would like AuditBoard to enable more advanced AI testing. Specifically, being able to utilize AI to perform testing on uploaded PBCs with set test steps would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find AuditBoard impressively straightforward and easy to use, making the setup process seamless without any challenges. The system helps us keep risk connected, providing an awesome overview of risk from IT and finance, which is a significant benefit. I really appreciate their robust API capabilities, particularly within SOX hub as well as ops audit, which stand out as most useful to me. AuditBoard's integration capabilities through their API are excellent, allowing us to conduct external data analysis and visualization with Power BI. The ability to integrate with external software and provide a holistic overview of risk outcomes through risk libraries and control libraries is another standout feature. These comprehensive integration capabilities make it a product I would definitely consider purchasing again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would make AuditBoard more enterprise-level, tailored to large customer bases rather than small audit teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find AuditBoard incredibly user-friendly, which enhances its ease of use for my team and me. The platform offers an exceptional level of efficiency that was lacking in our previous system, making the transition worthwhile. I also appreciate the extensive support that AuditBoard provides during setup and implementation, which was crucial in making the switch from our former vendor seamless and effective. The preloaded frameworks within AuditBoard are specifically beneficial as they enable us to efficiently map our controls to relevant frameworks, simplifying our processes. Additionally, the platform allows us to consolidate controls from a large number to a manageable number without compromising on risk mitigation. During audit testing and certifications, the ability to gather all necessary information from control owners in one place streamlines our workflow, and the user-friendly interface ensures that adjustments can be made easily. We are using the CrossComply module and its framework mapping capabilities are particularly useful for our operations, making AuditBoard a valuable tool that I highly recommend to anyone seeking improved control management solutions.

I don't like the current reporting capabilities that restrict my team from reporting on each analyst. It would be beneficial to have more flexible reporting features to shift the focus from auditors to individual analysts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate AuditBoard’s ability to streamline and automate our risk management and regulatory change management processes, which is integrated into our enterprise, thereby requiring fewer full-time equivalents and delivering faster results with tangible outcomes, especially for audits. I find it valuable that AuditBoard was the best match for us after considering multiple vendors, primarily because of its capabilities. The setup has been relatively easy thanks to the staff, making integration smoother. I also value the feature that helps us communicate efficiently with stakeholders and reduces the clutter of emails, thereby facilitating the building of an audit trail in one place, which helps in maintaining thorough records. The new assets presented at the recent Auto board conference seemed to resonate well with our needs in terms of fitting within our enterprise and our current module of audit and regulatory risk management.

I think the implementation process could be more efficient with additional support. Instead of just having the weekly or bi-weekly one-hour sessions, having a more hands-on team to assist could speed up integration. This might come at an extra cost but would be beneficial for quicker adaptation and effective use of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find AuditBoard to be very user-friendly, especially with its seamless integration with Microsoft Office products, which enhances our operational efficiency significantly. The workstream features are incredibly beneficial for our audit, SOC processes, and several other company functions, aiding in collecting evidence and facilitating various processes with a closed-loop nature for easy setup. The ability to track tests and evidence requests efficiently has been particularly helpful, allowing our external auditors to rely on our work within the tool. Over the four years we've been using it, we've seen substantial efficiencies in our processes. I also greatly appreciate the customer success program, which has been instrumental in helping us learn about new features and tackling different challenges, complimented by solid support that ensures we have smooth functionalities. The implementation process was very smooth, thanks to an excellent implementation partner who got us off on the right foot smoothly. Overall, the advantages and support provided by AuditBoard make it a highly valuable tool for our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am struggling with the functional deployment of the CrossComply tool. Although we have technically implemented the tool, the process of loading all our frameworks and being able to run tests effectively is still challenging. Despite going live with the tool, I feel that we might need to re-implement it to truly achieve the outcomes we're seeking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that AuditBoard is immensely valuable in tying everything together and providing a seamless experience across our processes. It significantly helps in connecting our risks and controls, allowing us to see everything holistically across the entire enterprise. I would love to see more in the continuous compliance monitoring capabilities, which are vital for our operations. The software also needs some enhancement in its reporting in dashboards, making it easier for us to keep track of various aspects. However, its user-friendly interface stands out and makes the usage quite pleasant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the setup process quite challenging and it is still ongoing, indicating a steep learning curve and complexity in getting everything up and running as expected. I also think there should be more integrations, especially those that work seamlessly with SSO, which would enhance the platform's interoperability and user experience. While the user interface is user-friendly, I believe AuditBoard could benefit from more functionality and AI capabilities to improve its overall performance and flexibility.

I also love the workflows and tasks that allow effective communication with other areas of the business, which I find quite pleasant. Additionally, I value the ability to customize certain functionalities, which gives me flexibility in its use. I consider that, once configured, AuditBoard is easy to use and does not require much explanation, especially for users who are not familiar with auditing processes. Likewise, I believe it facilitates an excellent connection between the different functions of the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that some reporting topics I see are sometimes missing or are still being developed, and also some artificial intelligence topics are at a very beginner level. I think it would be good to integrate more things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
