"Disappointing Experience with Poor Support and Usability"

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

I did not have a positive experience with Scrut. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

Scrut Automation didn't solve any problems for me. The compliance burden was too heavy for my team, their collaboration timelines were slow and incompatible with my time zone, and their tools were severely lacking in helping to automate the process. When I tried to cancel, they kept charging me despite being in clear violation of the contract. The sales team was focused on making a sale without considering the logistics of working with an international team in different time zones. They misrepresented the amount of time required for SOC 2 compliance in their system and the extent of the burden they'd assume. The software is quite rough to understand, and even after weeks, I couldn't grasp which path to take to achieve a goal. It wasn't built with the user in mind.

"Streamlined compliance and audit readiness made simple"
5/5
What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

Scrut Automation has made compliance management far less stressful for our team. The platform centralizes policies, evidence collection, and audit workflows in one place, saving us a significant amount of time. The dashboard makes tracking progress towards compliance certifications straightforward, and customer support is responsive and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

While the platform is very helpful overall, there is a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, especially for teams new to compliance automation. Some integrations could be deeper to eliminate manual work entirely, and the reporting feature could offer more customization. These are not dealbreakers, but improvements in these areas would make the experience even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Scrut! It’s great to hear that the platform is making it easier for your team to stay on top of security training and compliance tasks. We built Scrut to take the 'headache' out of monitoring, so knowing that you find it easy to navigate and useful for daily threat awareness is a big win for us.

I also appreciate you flagging the lag you’ve noticed during login. While I’m glad it hasn’t been a major blocker, we want your experience to be seamless from the very first click.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

crut Automation provides a centralized platform that simplifies the entire compliance process for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA. I particularly appreciate the automated evidence collection, real-time monitoring of controls, and clear visibility into compliance gaps. The platform saves time by reducing manual effort and ensures that our team can stay focused on closing gaps rather than chasing documents. The intuitive dashboard and guided workflows also make it easy to define, implement, and track controls across the organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

At times, the platform requires manual customization of controls and policies, and integrations with tools like Microsoft Defender and Intune could be more seamless Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SCRUT Automation has made the onerous task of getting Security Certification a breeze"
5/5
What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

I enthusiastically recommend SCRUT Automation for any organization seeking to streamline its compliance process, particularly for ISO and SOC2 standards. From the start, the platform was incredibly intuitive, providing clear progress tracking and significant built-in automation. The automated testing and tools for identifying non-compliant areas were invaluable, allowing our team to focus our efforts effectively.

SCRUT's policy templates and automated evidence collection simplified a complex and time-consuming process. The platform also offers comprehensive security training programs for employees, which was a huge benefit for our team's ongoing education.

Perhaps the most significant value was the exceptional customer support we received. The SCRUT team was highly responsive and guided us through every step, even assisting with the coordination of our audits. With robust integrations for identity services, cloud platforms, GitHub, and Jira, SCRUT seamlessly automated our compliance workflows. I am confident that we would not have achieved our compliance goals as efficiently without this powerful tool and its dedicated team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

I cannot really think of any downside to using their software. Even the price was competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scrut Automation?

The policy templates and templates for evidence tasks were extremely helpful. We had a dedicated resource we could communicate with daily, if needed, to help us address our gaps in our security profile. Overall, I found Scrut to be a complete platform covering our needs to achieve SOC 2 Type II and ISO27001:2022 compliance. We were able to manage our GDPR and HIPAA compliance as well.

What do you dislike about Scrut Automation?

There were a few things that I think could have been explained better in the materials. We encountered a few bugs in the platform. Having pre-filled vendor assessments for common vendors like Microsoft Azure and HubSpot would have been helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
