"Hands-On Compliance with Dedicated Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

I really appreciate that Scytale serves as our system of record for compliance controls and evidence. Having our dedicated GRC Manager, Robin Williams, truly makes Scytale stand out because they operate like an extension of our internal team and help with compliance and auditing needs. Robin's understanding of how controls function in practice really cuts down on the back-and-forth during audit prep. I enjoy how Scytale integrates with our cloud platform, identity provider, and Git repo, which helps in automatically pulling evidence and providing visibility into our environment. Moving from Vanta, I value the more hands-on approach that Scytale provides, particularly with the dedicated GRC Manager helping translate requirements into actual execution. The initial setup was straightforward, which I found quite convenient. I'd definitely recommend Scytale to teams that value having a dedicated GRC resource to drive audit readiness and keep things organized because this combination of platform and hands-on support is a strong differentiator.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

Like most GRC platforms, there can be some friction around keeping evidence and control updates fully in sync as things change quickly in the environment. This isn't unique to Scytale, but does require internal discipline to keep everything current. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Compliance Support with a Personal Touch"
5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

I used Scytale to achieve compliance with SOC 2 and ISO. They were really helpful and supportive throughout the process, always checking in and making sure we stayed on track. I felt like they were genuinely caring and supportive, not just treating us like a number. I especially appreciated Nir's assistance, as Scytale was very effective for our process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

We started working with their AI but midway it stopped, luckily Nir was there to pick up the slack. I wish their AI had more usage, like renewal usage maybe per day or per week, sometimes we were waiting for Scytale to check things , that the AI can do in less than a minute.

"Dor helped us with everything. I'm happy to use the system and recommend it"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

It's really convenient that the required templates are provided, that we can see the progress status and that there is someone like Dor guiding us through every step of the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

It took a little time to figure out how to properly navigate between the different pages and what each one displays. There are pages nested within pages that you have to go through to find what you're looking for, but once you understand where everything is, using the system becomes much easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient SOC2 Compliance with Stellar Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

I appreciate Scytale’s ability to cater to both novices and experienced users, making the learning curve manageable and guidance accessible, especially if you've never done auditing before. Once familiar, the platform allows users to pick up the pace quickly and smoothly. I find their integration feature highly beneficial, as it automatically collects evidence and identifies issues, which significantly streamlines the SOC2 auditing process. The dashboard is particularly useful, providing a clear, quick overview of compliance status, which I value greatly. I also recognize the team's helpfulness in explaining how to collect manual evidence and finding the best ways to proceed in various situations. The time it took to achieve SOC2 readiness for an external audit in just four weeks is incredibly impressive and highlights the efficiency of the platform. Additionally, the responsiveness and support from the team have made my experience enjoyable, and I highly regard their effective assistance throughout the auditing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

They should keep their platform more stable; they are changing so fast that it is becoming a moving target. The integration support for platforms like DigitalOcean is limited, with few features and configuration aspects automatically controlled. Although this is somewhat expected given DigitalOcean's status compared to larger providers, it still poses a limitation, and improved support would be beneficial. Integration with Dependabot could be improved; dependabot is not behaving well on their side, but when they delete past vulnerabilities, Scytale thinks you have never fixed them, rather than dependabot reclassifying them.

"Incredibly Helpful Consulting That Keeps Us on Track"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

The consulting that comes with the platform is incredibly helpful. For me, the weekly calls with a friendly person are what really keep us on track, making sure we focus on the right things at the right time so we can get through the process of obtaining a new certificate as smoothly as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

What I’m not so happy with is the quality of the integrations. Some information is gathered automatically, but there’s still quite a bit of evidence and other details that need to be entered manually. I’d really prefer it if more of this could be pulled in fully automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use GUI and Helpful Guidance for Completing Controls"
5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

If you have AWS than it would be more powerful, I guess, but we have all done by ourselves and host it on a local hoster. This requires a lot of changes in the collection of evidence and completion of controls. Dian Strydom is most helpful with all the steps to be taken. He guides me through everything and helps me out with templates to complete the controls.

The GUI is easy to understand and helps a lot in having an oversight what to do and where I am. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

Nothing, it is very helpful for me, it even suggests what can be certified with all the answers from my current certification, which is very good. It helps me telling my board of directors, what to aim next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have some pre-emptive alerting as audit times get closer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Support Team Made Everything Happen Quickly and Professionally"
5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

People!! Edden Kaplan really helped us understand what to do and how to make things happen quickly and professionally. I honestly wish every company had people like this, because it makes customers as happy as we are.

The tools are relatively easy to use, but for us, the people are definitely the most important part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

Some integrations didn’t work at first, and we had to contact technical support to resolve a few issues. You should check frequently that integrations works. Aside from that, we have an overall good impression. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplifies SOC2 Prep with Excellent Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

I find Scytale easy to use, with a great library of available templates that cover all the operations processes I need. The platform itself simplifies the process of SOC2 preparation a lot, and it contains lots of example templates I can use as a base. Also, the support from Scytale does great work in helping with those templates adjustments for our needs. There were no issues with the setup, as there was no need to deploy anything on our side; we just got access to the cloud platform. The platform's support and ease of access really enhance its usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

Due to the specifics of our products, we had to spend more time on initial discoveries to better understand how to approach SOC2 preparations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Intuitive Platform with Dedicated, Hands-On Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Scytale?

The platform is simple and intuitive and we had a dedicated person along the way that helped us with everything. This was the crucial part and i want to thank Nicole Alvaro for her dedication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scytale?

All these platforms are on the expensive side of doing operations. It's not specific for Scytale, I did a thorough research prior to that and Scytale was the best in class, but again all these platforms cost a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
