John Erian

Team leader - Internal Audit sector at HD Bank

Identifyies fraud efficiently through automated report analysis

I believe the formulas and scripting language in ACL Analytics need development to be easier for me to use. I want to see more robotic reports generated automatically, rather than relying heavily on scripting. It would also be beneficial if ACL Analytics included features similar to Tableau for data presentation.

Ankita Sabale

Senior Associate - IT Governance and Compliance at Fulcrum Digital Inc

Acts as a software inventory of applications in an environment

I face some difficulty while upgrading any field in the application. Suppose I change an application's IT owner field, which is at the end of the application. After I save the change, it takes me to the top of the page, which is an issue for me. After you change and save the pre-filled specific information at the end of an application page, the application will again take you to the top of the page.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of ACL Analytics is its powerful data control capabilities."

"I rate ACL Analytics nine out of ten."

"We apply different methods, such as sampling, data manipulation, and sorting. I'm fond of the scripting feature, which automates routine tasks and saves time. It also offers data insights."

"I recommend ACL Analytics because it makes work easier and is user-friendly."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its ability to import files from other software packages. Its reporting and visualization capabilities have made our reporting easier. Importing results into spreadsheets or other documents for incorporation into reports is particularly helpful."

"Initial setup is straightforward."

"It is very flexible and has hundreds of functions."

"It improved my organization using an automated audit revision with scripts."

More ACL Analytics pros

"We can get all the information about all the applications in a single platform."

Cons

"I believe the formulas and scripting language in ACL Analytics need development to be easier for me to use."

"The ease of use could be better."

"We have an issue with the hard coding of passwords in ACL Analytics. You do not have an interface where you can enter a password and then it can be encrypted when you enter it."

"The product's pricing has increased over the years."

"Reporting and presentation of information directly to solutions, such as PowerPoint."

"Currently, the platform is not very comfortable for users coming from a non-technical or non-coding background."

"A person must have someone teach them how to use ACL Analytics as a common person cannot use it independently."

"The visualization capabilities in ACL Analytics need more variety and features."

More ACL Analytics cons

"After you change and save the pre-filled specific information at the end of an application page, the application will again take you to the top of the page."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of $5,000 is high, and transferring money from one country to another, particularly in dollars, is challenging due to high exchange rates. Although we managed to purchase it then, the lack of a single license option and the high cost were issues."

"The pricing for me as an individual seems a lot. For our organization, the price is okay. It's about $6,000 a year. I don't know of any additional costs."
