Pourquoi passer à Diligent One Platform

Avantages

I like the fact that the solution is now evolving into a cloud based solution and not on-premise. This affords the IT team more time to handle other core functions while being confident that the Audit activities are not impacted negatively.

Inconvénients

Pricing model is a bit prohibitive to the small and medium size entities.

Pourquoi passer à Diligent One Platform

Avantages

ACL Analytics and ACL Robotics - Simply Amazing capabilities in the windows version and the GRC platform. The ability to automate repetitive tasks is awesome.

Inconvénients

Some of the advanced apps/features found in competitors platforms aren't present. UI looks basic. Ability to customize workflow/add advanced or complex workflows is missing.

Avantages

Intuitive user interface, regular updates with newly added features, very capable API adds flexibility.

Inconvénients

Changes to report templates need to be requested by Diligent (at no additional cost) and cannot be made the customer.

Avantages

Accessibility of the platform, anywhere with internet connection.

Inconvénients

At first it was a bit confusing in navigating the platform since there are many function but after sometimes it become better.

Avantages

The analytics are the main reason we went with HighBond. The ability to analyze thousands of credit card transactions and within minutes identify the outlier transactions was extremely beneficial to the organization. Gas card theft and personal purchases made with a company card were easily identified and it didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the organization. A new sheriff arrived in town.

Inconvénients

For our organization the GRC part of the software was a little clunky and manual to setup and use on a regular basis. Having to identify the risks and then enter the controls in a different area and then having to link the two of them together, made the process cumbersome and we had pushback from auditors that did not want to use the software.

Avantages

ACL, now Highbond, had been very easy to use from the get-go. The features that had been most impact for me as user were (1) the timesheet; (2) the automatic notifications/reminders to auditees (for requests/action items); and (3) the easily downloadable reports.

Inconvénients

This is something very minor and not really a feature that I like least, but something that needs to be fixed in the timesheet, particularly in the time report. I just noticed when I was try getting to get a time report, the days in the month, as reflected in the calendar, did not reflect the actual day and date. Example, right now, I'm looking at the calendar in time report and June 17, 2021 is reflected there as a Sunday.

Avantages

Customizable field setups
ACL Analytics Included
Potential for Robotics/Automation
Integrated Workflows

Inconvénients

- Does not have an elegant solution for selecting/downloading individual areas (start to finish control export, without exporting full sections of your file (i.e. walkthroughs for every process, not just the one you want with the accompanying testing workpapers and background details in 1 download)

- Open text box for documenting has table limits not friendly for exporting or using its advanced features (team tries to push attaching excel workpaper attachments instead)

- No auto-selection possibility with population files for business process controls

Avantages

Combined Analytic and Highbond (Robotic), the two applications is a powerful pair. They can save a lot of audit hours and generates huge value to the organization.

Inconvénients

It is an application and requires a set of skillsets to use the software effectively. The biggest challenge is talent. Training and promoting on using the software is key. Once you have a talented team, HighBond will soar like an eagle.

Avantages

It enables you to work smart. Deliver quality output. Helps the auditor in doing repetitive tasks.

Inconvénients

Currently, our company dont have the complete subscription or functionality. The price can be intimidating. We are currently revisiting our options.

Avantages

The ability to script repetitive tasks. ACL allows the user to “code” the steps performed so that they can be repeated at a click of a button. This whole process can be done without knowing any programming language because ACL records the steps that you have taken, which can then be copied into a script and run whenever it is needed.

Inconvénients

The PDF converter. ACL has the ability to convert a pdf into a table, however the PDF needs to be a fairly simple one otherwise the data columns tend to jump around.

Avantages

My favorite parts of ACL from Highbond are the scripting functions that allow me to easily backtrack my work and the ability to perform lots of different computations on the data without corrupting source material.

Inconvénients

I dislike that the visual components of ACL are limited.

Avantages

Ease of use.
Many features.
Audit trail in the analysis.
Engaging community providing ideas and ready-to-use code.
Ability to process many forms of data.
Ability to process large amounts of data.

Inconvénients

There are very few things not to like. None comes to mind at the moment.

Avantages

User Friendly so that even accounting professionals also could use this.

Inconvénients

Not every function are made available in the tab.

Avantages

The software provides you an opportunity to develop throughout workflows

Inconvénients

Unfortunately, the software does require a lot of clicks to get to all the available features.

Avantages

I love how easy it is to use, meaning the customer was really thought about and considered on this. There are many functions that are very useful when working smarter, specially when it comes to Audit, sometimes time is of essence.

Inconvénients

So far there is no complaints with this software.

Avantages

This product is very easy to keep track of audit progress status and remaining audit procedures.

Inconvénients

Reporting and Analytics requires some customization.

Avantages

I love Galvanize Academy. It's been a process for sure, but there's so much benefit to gain.

Inconvénients

I'm still learning. There's so much to it, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!

Avantages

facilitate collaboration via results- triggers, questionnaire

Inconvénients

Needs improvement on visualization, might be helpful if you could include SAP T-code aside from SAP tables in SAP connector

Avantages

the function of the questionnaire/survey is very helpful for the user to get information from another user. it has a triggering function so that we will not miss out the dateline and it will act as a reminder too.

Inconvénients

the very basic interface which we cannot customize for example to have our own logo in the questionnaire or to set our own theme for the background. but it is very minor compare to its good function.
