The most helpful aspect of SAP Risk and Assurance Management is how seamlessly it brings risk monitoring, compliance, and audit activities together in one centralized system. By consolidating these critical functions, the platform reduces the need for multiple disconnected tools and helps ensure that all stakeholders are working from consistent, reliable information. Its control automation is especially valuable because it cuts down on manual effort, reduces the chance of human error, and frees teams to focus on higher level strategic work instead of repetitive compliance checks. The dashboards also provide real time visibility into risks, compliance status, and audit findings, enabling management to make faster, better informed decisions. This transparency not only improves efficiency, but also strengthens accountability across the organization. In addition, the system’s ability to align with regulatory requirements helps keep compliance standards consistently met, lowering exposure to penalties and reputational risk. Overall, it supports a proactive approach to risk management while enhancing operational resilience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the least helpful aspects of SAP Risk and Assurance Management is the overall complexity of the system, especially for new users. The interface can feel overwhelming, and the steep learning curve often requires additional training or external support before teams can use it effectively. Configuring compliance workflows and customizing dashboards can be time-consuming, and in many cases, organizations need specialized expertise to fully leverage the platform’s capabilities. This slows down adoption and makes it harder for smaller teams without dedicated IT resources to benefit from the system. Another downside is performance when handling very large datasets or running detailed audit reports, as the system can sometimes lag or take longer than expected to generate results. This impacts efficiency during critical compliance checks or audits. While the platform is powerful, the complexity and resource requirements can limit accessibility, making it less user friendly compared to simpler, more lightweight risk management tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is that SAP Risk and Assurance Management keeps risks, controls, and assurance work in one place. It makes follow-up easier and gives better visibility for audits and reporting. The SAP integration is also helpful because it connects risk work more closely to business processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I dislike is that the system can feel complex at the beginning. Some setup and configuration take time, and the navigation is not always very intuitive. Reporting is useful, but customizing reports could be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how SAP Risk and Assurance Management strengthens internal controls, automates compliance monitoring, and improves risk visibility across business processes. The system is great at centralizing risk documentation, control testing, issue remediation, and audit tracking all in one place. I also appreciate the seamless integration with SAP environments, especially with SAP S/4HANA, which allows for real-time monitoring of business processes and quicker identification of control issues or exceptions. The dashboards and reporting features make it easier for management and audit teams to track compliance status and remediation activities efficiently. The continuous controls monitoring is invaluable, helping to identify exceptions and potential compliance issues in real time, eliminating the need for periodic manual reviews and allowing teams to react faster to risk. Automated control monitoring has significantly improved our workflow by reducing the need for manual testing and repetitive review work, as the system continuously monitors transactions and activities in real time instead of relying on spreadsheets and manual sampling.

One challenge is the complexity of the initial setup and configuration. Implementing workflows, controls, and monitoring rules can require significant time, technical expertise, and coordination between business and IT teams. For organizations with complex processes, the implementation and customization effort can feel resource-intensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its ability to help identify and monitor all the risk and then centralize it to place proper controls, gaps mitigations, and compliance checkups in one place. The automated workflow and dashboards also help in proper reporting and save time. The workflow and reporting functions are much beneficial for coordinating with various team members and assigning accountability during compliance review and audit trails. I appreciate how it helps solve various organizational issues like risk tracing, audit, and compliance management. It centralizes the risk information, manages and monitors applied controls, identifies and mitigates gaps. Additionally, it reduces manual work and helps make better decisions. The vendor provided proper support during implementation time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion the new user may feel little difficult to use the system. While working with large data the system gets slow so maybe making simple interface and able to work with large may be the side they can improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can always refer to the data when there's a need. It gives me leverage to cross-check my work and check customer's information, ensuring it is stored and saved properly. If I intend to share it, it's easier to share and also facilitates team collaboration. SAP Risk and Assurance Management helps me mitigate the risk of a data breach, which is crucial given GDPR compliance requirements. The initial setup was quite easy and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd say the collaboration aspect of it would be more focused. The ability to collaborate with team members and the AI tool to search information easily could be improved. It often feels like you're waiting for the system to keep rolling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAP Risk and Assurance Management has been helpful for improving how we handle risk, compliance, and internal control activities across teams. One of the biggest advantages is its integration with other SAP systems, which makes data flow and monitoring much smoother compared to using separate tools.

From a UI perspective, the platform is functional and detailed, although it can feel a bit complex initially for new users. After some onboarding and regular use, the navigation becomes easier to understand. The reporting and dashboard features are especially useful for audits and management reviews.

In terms of performance, the system has been reliable for day-to-day monitoring and workflow management. Automated alerts and control tracking helped reduce manual follow-ups and improved visibility into pending issues.

The onboarding process required proper planning and some training, but SAP support documentation and implementation guidance were useful during setup. Support response quality was generally good whenever technical issues came up.

From a pricing and ROI standpoint, it may feel expensive at first, especially for smaller companies, but for organizations already using SAP, the long-term value is noticeable because it reduces manual effort and improves compliance tracking.

I also liked the automation and intelligent monitoring capabilities, since they help identify exceptions and control gaps faster than traditional manual reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I disliked about SAP Risk and Assurance Management is that the interface can feel complicated for first-time users, especially for teams that are not already familiar with SAP products. Some workflows and configurations take time to understand, so proper training is important.

The implementation process can also be lengthy and requires coordination between business and technical teams. In some cases, customizing reports or workflows was more time-consuming than expected.

Another drawback is the pricing, which may be difficult to justify for smaller organizations. While the platform offers strong features, the overall setup and maintenance effort can feel heavy if the company only needs basic risk and compliance management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate SAP Risk and Assurance Management for its ability to centralize and automate our enterprise risk control processes. It provides a unified platform for handling risk across various business functions like finance, compliance, and IT. What I like most is its seamless integration with existing SAP systems, allowing us to continuously monitor control effectiveness and reduce manual audit effort. This has significantly improved our audit readiness. I also value its automation features, which reduce manual effort and enhance accuracy by eliminating duplication of work. The tool facilitates a shift from active to proactive risk management, offering a cohesive real-time view instead of relying on fragmented tools. It enables data-driven decision-making and enhances collaboration across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think getting the system up and running can be time-consuming and often requires specialized expertise. The user interface, while powerful, isn't always the most intuitive, especially for business users who aren't familiar with SAP's subsystems. It could be more UI-friendly. Also, while reporting customization is flexible, it can sometimes feel pressured. The performance occasionally lags when handling a large volume of data. Overall, though the platform is robust, easier implementation would significantly enhance its effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the system is very quick, which is really helpful. It helps in accessing the rest without the need for manual intervention all the time. The system quickly analyzes, which saves a lot of time compared to manual deduction. Even though there are a lot of false positives, it ensures that no risks are missed. The transaction monitoring system keeps us updated about the red flags, and we get notified about them, which helps the company to stay informed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think, as I already mentioned about the false positives, sometimes when there's a load of false positives, especially in terms of business accounts with huge transaction values, it alerts as a money laundering risk. This should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The centralized visibility across our SAP landscape is a major time-saver. Before implementing SAP Risk and Assurance Management, we were pulling access reports manually from multiple systems and reconciling them in Excel—it was a nightmare during Q-end. Now, the Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflict analysis runs automatically, and the [INSERT SPECIFIC DETAIL: e.g., "Emergency Access Management logs are comprehensive enough that our external auditors trust them without requesting raw table dumps."] The workflow engine for access requests is also a big win; we have a clean, defensible approval chain that holds up under SOX scrutiny. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial rule set tuning required more effort than I anticipated. Out-of-the-box, the system flagged a lot of "false positives" for SoD risks that were actually mitigated by our organizational structure. It took a couple of cycles with the GRC team to get the risk matrix dialed in to reflect our actual business processes. Also, navigating between the Fiori apps for Risk Management versus Process Control can feel a bit disjointed at times—it's not always a seamless user journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
