No specific support channels are established here, but the experience suggests teams should assess the support they will need during implementation and ongoing maintenance.

What features or capabilities could make SAP Risk Management even more useful?

Making the experience easier for business users and reducing the effort needed to connect and interpret information would make SAP Risk Management more useful. Commonly requested improvements include:

"Integrated risk management solutions for managing enterprise risk"

4/5

What do you like best about SAP Risk Management?

SAP GRC streamlines risk and compliance processes, reducing the time and effort required to manage them which results in increased efficiency and productivity. It enables organizations to identify and assess risks, prioritize them, and develop strategies to mitigate them. With the help of its fraud detection modules, organizations can monitor and analyze transactional data and identify unusual patterns or behavior that may indicate fraud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Risk Management?

SAP GRC requires specialized knowledge and training to be used effectively. It sometimes cause slow performance or system hang while processing large volumes of data. But overall a great software to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP Risk Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

Protecting sensitive data is a critical concern for many organizations and so for us, and failure to do so can result in significant financial and reputational damage. SAP GRC effectively helped us in solving these problems by providing tools for managing user access to critical business applications and data, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. Also, siloed risk and compliance processes lead to inefficiencies and duplication of efforts and SAP GRC helped us to integrate the risk and compliance processes, providing a centralized view of risk and compliance across the organization.

"Amazing tool for compliance and risk management"

What do you dislike about SAP Risk Management?

What problems is SAP Risk Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used GRC solutions to enable my clients get their risk and access management in place. Before using GRC, the risk management was actually a manual task. However, since we started using GRC for risk management, the world changed! It automatically lets you monitor the risks and informs you if we are in SoD violation.

What do you dislike about SAP Risk Management?

As such it is a great tool. But I never got the idea as to why they are not building an application for it. Whenever we want to run GRC, it automatically opens up in a browser. I feel there should be an app for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SAP Risk Management?

GRC is the core security tool for SAP. When SAP evolves in module for all possible business scenarios, security is also the essential thing to keep the system stable. So in this way, GRC is the tool that gives end-to-end security to data and user authorization. It keeps track of all the transactions users are using regardless of time and place. Through GRC, we can restrict, control, monitor, and manage the user's usage. Let's say if the user is from the Sales team, he will only have authorization for all Sales and Distribution related transactions, even if the user changes some data that will also logged in the system. so that we can have a track, manage and monitor once usage in SAP. This is one of the powerful security Tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
