GRC Practice Leader at Stratos Analytics

A robust governance, risk, and compliance solution with comprehensive features for risk management and policy enforcement; however, its implementation complexity and potential cost could be an issue

I believe there's room for improvement in establishing connections with external information. When dealing with data from another system, there's often a need for importing. Currently, the flow of information in this regard lacks robust support.

Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Ensure that you have deliberated on these in detail and there will be no issues or hiccups during implementation
