Hello,

First of all, thank you for taking the time to review ProcessBolt. I am one of the founders of ProcessBolt, and always very interested to hear what our customers have to say about us.

If you are open to it, would it be possible for our team to speak to you on a short phone call to see how we can help you better, including, but not limited to improving our error alerting process?

Please reach out to info@ProcessBolt.com and we would be more than happy to have a constructive discussion on how we can do better.

Thanks,

"I didn't know I needed it, now I have to have it."

5/5

What do you like best about Perimeter?

The configuration. I can make changes, spin up tests and customize my surveys if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perimeter?

The 'View Users' interface is really weak. No way to actually delete or add meaningful data to the user accounts. The User activity dashboard only shows my company logins, none from customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Perimeter:

If you want a tool that comes pre-populated and you can start using day one, get this one. If you want a tool and is highly customizable and can quickly be modified to suit your needs. If you want a tool that has excellent support, use this one. I'm certain there are things that ProcessBolt doesn't do excellently, but I haven't found them yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Perimeter solving and how is that benefiting you?

The tool is very useful for initial vendor surveys and follow-ups. It doesn't have all the tick-boxes, but it absolutely points my team in the right direction and helps us gather documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, efficient and effective"

5/5

What do you like best about Perimeter?

Processbolt was very easy to implement. We were impressed by their ability to assess our vendor network and continuously monitor our vendor's internet-facing assets in one platform. We paid virtually zero service fees aside from installation, and we love the zero-code environment. It is a perfect application for healthcare companies like Innov Advisors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perimeter?

We have no complaints to date. The team has been very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Perimeter:

"ProcessBolt increases the quality of our vendor questionnaire responses while saving us time."

5/5

What do you like best about Perimeter?

We researched multiple products, ProcessBolt came up the best. The correct response rate was higher than the other tools tested. The plugins save us a tremendous amount of time, allowing us to answer vendor questionnaires directly in the original document or webpage without importing them into any system. The Auto-Bolt responder in Excel makes it even faster to answer any questionnaire. ProcessBolt is a game-changer for the speed we answer questionnaires and the quality of our responses. The customer service is excellent. The team is supportive, fast, and they listen to our input for future system improvements, which keep coming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perimeter?

I'd like to have the ability to use another MFA option than text messages. The system offers three roles, but I'd like another role with permissions to answer questionnaires without the capability to add entries to the knowledge base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ProcessBolt Shines"

5/5

What do you like best about Perimeter?

ProcessBolt gets our Vendor Risk Management Program out of spreadsheets and into an easy format that our team to review and digest.

One of the best things about ProcessBolt is the team behind it; the crew at ProcessBolt is nimble, accommodating, and will bend over backward to help you develop your questionnaires. In several instances, they have gone above and beyond to implement custom question formats for us.

Overall I think the ProcessBolt system is easy to use and simplifies our VRM program! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Perimeter?

Occasionally we run into a snag where other ProcessBolt customers will have already engaged a vendor using the platform, which will impact our ability to import those contacts as users. Typically this is resolved by a quick support ticket to ProcessBolt, who always resolve the issue within a few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
