Centralized risk libraries have streamlined audits and now highlight clunky workflows and upgrades

MetricStream can be improved in several areas. Sometimes the overall flow of the application can seem a bit clunky, based on feedback from clients. From my understanding and what I have heard from developers within MetricStream during my deeper use of the application, the application seems to have been developed within silos, and the interaction of certain applications internally could definitely be improved in terms of the overall coding that exists between applications within the solution. The only improvement I suggest for MetricStream is to gather a collaborative think tank from several of the largest clients and compile feedback to prioritize suggested enhancements from multiple organizations.

Offers a reasonable amount of ROI and helps save costs

I use SAI360 in our company's day-to-day risk and compliance activity, depending on the need for the tool's role, of course. The solution's most beneficial feature for improving our company's compliance processes stems from how it helps with the connectivity between functionalities. In terms of risk management capabilities, I feel SAI360 is a very well-connected GRC tooling system. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The trends I am observing in the risk and compliance space that SAI360 is helping our company address revolve around the area of connectivity across our entire organization. I rate the tool an eight to nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since implementing MetricStream, audit teams have shaved about two weeks off of annual planning across various teams, allowing audit departments of about 140 auditors across maybe 10 teams to squeeze in 10 extra audits, one audit per each team, if not additional testing."

"The interface is mobile-friendly and it is getting a good response from our customers."

"Key features are usability and ease of configuration. It allows us to have all the information in a single place and provide real-time indicators and information for our executives."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

"We would like to have more dashboards and reports, such as geographical and trend reports in the next version. Also, an improvement in the mobile version would be helpful."

"MetricStream's scalability is adaptable, though the biggest issue I have encountered with clients has been around upgrades that require re-implementing customizations to the out-of-box solutions after significant upgrades."

"I would like to see out-of-the-box integration with more security, it would be helpful."

"If the product is used in a small organization, it doesn't work well."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are flexible in terms of customers' needs."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price an eight."
