"Useful but Limited GRC Capabilities with Integration Ease"
2.5/5
What do you like best about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

I like that ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is integrated with all the data in ServiceNow. It is easy to code and integrate, especially with its low-code/no-code capabilities, which help in reducing the time to market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

There are several things that I find challenging with ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). It doesn't solve all the problems, and I feel like it lacks some major components of GRC. While it helps with model risk, policy management, and compliance, there are still areas where it's lacking. The control testing and handling of cyber vulnerabilities are only dealt with to some extent, which is a bit disappointing. I also have issues with the licensing model, specifically that read licenses should be free if users login once a month or year. Additionally, the initial setup was not easy for us because we have a lot of solutions, making it too complicated to migrate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Traceability, Needs Better Workspace Functionality"
4/5
What do you like best about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

I like the traceability between records in ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). It's great to know what citations relate to each control and how those controls target risks. This makes it easy to govern. Also, it helps us understand how our company's controls are covering regulatory requirements and industry frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

Workspace views don't have the same functionality as default/native views. For example, in the risks workspace, you can't select multiple risk responses during a risk assessment, whereas you can select multiple if operating in the native view. The initial setup was challenging, requiring us to redesign some processes to conform with ServiceNow functionality due to our reluctance to customize ServiceNow.

"GRC for External Connections Cyber Security Assessment"
4/5
What do you like best about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

Great to have our External Connections Cyber Security Assessment scoped app that relates to Policy and Compliance (P&C) in the same platform as our ITSM (to leverage order guide, service request, change, etc), CMDB (device inventory), Knowledge Management (KB Articles), Now Assist (AI Assistance), Platform Analytics (dashboard and reporting), and future possibilities such as OT Visibility, Vulnerability Response, AI Agents/Specialists, etc. P&C allows for auto-instantiation of controls per the entity type, auto-instantiation of issues for failed attestations, recurring attestations to confirm controls are still in affect, compliance status/score, as well as lifecycle status of the policy/entity:control/issue. We’re also able to leverage platform capabilities like scheduled job, email with email template, business rules, flow, etc in this low code application used enterprise wide. Enhancements are added to continue to improve our process and user experience. Lastly, the support and partnership from ServiceNow ensures our success. Thank you ServiceNow.

What do you dislike about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

What do you dislike about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

One area where I find ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) could improve is its appeal to a very broad audience of users, many of whom are not tech-savvy. It would be beneficial to have a feature that walks them through the process, similar to how a survey does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Risk Management"
5/5
What do you like best about ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)?

I use ServiceNow Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) to centralize risk and compliance management across my organization on a single platform, which is really helpful. It makes identifying, assessing, and tracking risks with scoring and ownership straightforward.

I think UCF should come out of the box so users can build the controls quickly. Also, the initial setup wasn't that easy since it requires understanding the process first and foundational data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
