ACL Consultant

Have significantly reduced audit hours through automation and advanced data integration with robust connectors

The key feature of ACL Analytics is integration, which allows for vast amounts of data sources you can connect to. The tool itself allows you to integrate it into your audit work in terms of taking exceptions that you receive from your analytics. It provides integration into your GRC platform and into your audit working files, and then one key thing is the vast amounts of connectors. We have seen a return on investment as we have mostly reduced working hours for the audit engagements. If an auditor was normally budgeted to take 600 hours, we have implemented a solution to take those audit hours down to 200 hours. We are mostly taking those metrics.

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

"We have seen a return on investment as we have mostly reduced working hours for the audit engagements."

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

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

"I rate ACL Analytics nine out of ten."

"I did not have any problems with the stability of ACL Analytics."

"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."

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

"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."

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."

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

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

"The tool's pricing is quite high. When I purchased the software, I constantly contacted the representatives. I requested a single license, but they informed me that only packages of three licenses were available. This made it very difficult for us to manage the cost, especially given the economic challenges in our country."

"It would be beneficial if the software could improve its capabilities when extracting data from databases, particularly for those who may not be familiar with SQL queries."

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

"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."

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."
