HighBond platform as used by Internal Audit

Comentarios: HighBond transformed the way we do and document our audit. We used to them manually. Now, we document them all digitally via HighBond. With ACL also, we automated our audit operations such as resource analysis, budget to actuals analysis etc,. All these are documented automatically through Storyboards available in the platform also.

Puntos a favor:

HighBond is very easy to deploy and use.

Highbond Journey

Comentarios: Excellent

Puntos a favor:

Remote working and independent access to Data

Puntos en contra:

Limited number of filters in Issue tracker especially 'Date Identified'

Highbond GRC Solutions & its promise to organizations

Comentarios: With Highbond one is able to ensure risks around business objectives are addressed with an aim of fulfilling regulatory/legal compliance requirements

Puntos a favor:

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.

Puntos en contra:

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

Solid Software

Comentarios: Overall, it has helped automate some of our audit processes. However, sometimes it has limitations and we have to use a SQL/Teradata, Tableau, or Excel which defeats the purpose at times.

Puntos a favor:

One of my favorite, and most helpful things about ACL is the data import. It is clean and quick, and very easy to learn. Also the scripting is very helpful because you can rerun processes without redoing the work and have scripts run automatically.

Puntos en contra:

There are features of ACL that make it difficult to work with if you are trying to take notes or change a cell's information. For example, you can't really add a new column with your notes in specific cells.

ACL Review

Comentarios: Overall, our team is satisfied with the ACL tool. We are currently using it to track analytics projects and will begin to integrate more risks and controls in the coming weeks.

Puntos a favor:

The ACL tool is easy to use and offers convenient reporting.

Puntos en contra:

The ACL tool needs better or more configurable way to track progress on projects. All steps should not be weighted equally. Overall, the scheduler could be enhanced with more options.

A must have technology!

Comentarios: We are very satisfied.

Puntos a favor:

Very helpful in doing analysis GB worth of data. Saves a lot of time. Relied upon by management as it is able to preserve integrity of data.

Puntos en contra:

For new release of product, I need to download the whole installer instead instead of just having the updates. But other than that, none that I think of as of this time.

HighBond - Results Module

Puntos a favor:

We are using HighBond in our daily Controls Governance, SoD Reporting and other Continuous Control Monitoring. Currently this cause us the better management of monitoring controls thus reducing risks.

Puntos en contra:

Least liked about HighBond results module is that, even the administrator can not extract or download all the attachment at once. Theres no mass download of submitted supports from the users.

Highbond is easy to use

Puntos a favor:

Ease of implementation and use was very important and this software provided that.

Puntos en contra:

There are a lot of areas that require clicks. It would be better if there was more seamless navigation between projects.

Review by Themei

Comentarios: Very useful tool for data extraction and data analyze.

Puntos a favor:

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

Puntos en contra:

Not every function are made available in the tab.

Great product with forward facing technologies

Comentarios: This solution is providing me an integrated solution to streamline our SOX Compliance Evaluation and Non-SOX projects with a lot of great workflow capabilities.

Puntos a favor:

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

Puntos en contra:

- 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

HighBond is a must have tool

Puntos a favor:

We have now automated our audit tests using galvanize, meaning our scripted tests which to us are our audit robots, automatically run the audit tests and just send the exceptions reports to email to the auditors or audit clients. We have connect the solution to our SAP ERP system, Active directory and other SQL server applications

Puntos en contra:

The software requires some level of scripting training.

Love it so far

Comentarios: Highbond has allowed our data analytics program within the internal audit department to take off. I can't wait to see what else we can accomplish.

Puntos a favor:

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

Puntos en contra:

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

Great product for audit tracking and compliance.

Comentarios: Overall, the product provides a great outline to your audit program.

Puntos a favor:

The software provides you an opportunity to develop throughout workflows

Puntos en contra:

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

Addressing customer need

Puntos a favor:

I like how ACL has taken into consideration requests and desires of the customer base and build them into their software. They continuously make their software better year after year.

Puntos en contra:

Sometimes the inability to change how a specific piece works is a downside and limits customization, but we have found most times if we go back and rethink the process we find a suitable solution that does fit the software's approach.

ACL Data Analytics

Puntos a favor:

We have been using ACL for the past decade for data analytics. The software is helping us to do 100% analysis of the data population we are evaluating.

Puntos en contra:

Because of cost implications, our ACL licenses are limited.

Highbond Review

Comentarios: for me, Highbond is the best AMS for now. There are many features that we can use for our business.

Puntos a favor:

Every feature in this software really helpful when it comes to managing our audit tasks.

Puntos en contra:

there are certain things that I think this software needs to improve, which is when we wanna do data migration. maybe it will be much easier if we can bulk upload our data into Highbond.

ACL Review

Comentarios: We are using 1985 green screen technology and I have to import the data through SQL Server. Much to my surprise, I am getting the results needed for the most part unless I am working with multi-line fields.

Puntos a favor:

Training - I have never used anything like ACL so having really good training is extremely important. I have done a lot of online learning but nothing I have taken comes close to the training provided by ACL. It is even better now that the modules are more condensed and focused topically. I am a rookie and have a ways to go before I finish but thanks to the exceptional training that is provided, I am seeing the benefits of ACL for our organization.

Puntos en contra:

There are a number of different ways to get the same result and I am not always convinced I am doing it the right way. I find it difficult to pull results when multi-line fields are being imported. Not sure how to it correctly.

AuditBond review

Comentarios: Professional approach. It was the best solution I found and I did demonstrations with 5 companies.

Puntos a favor:

Allows for tracking of findings, mitigation actions etc. Includes modules for internal audit, compliance and enterprise risk management.

Puntos en contra:

Time consuming to build and implement in an simple/user friendly way. Sometimes the functionality is more complex than what I actually need.

Very useful and interactive

Puntos a favor:

This software very useful and ease to use

Puntos en contra:

can monitoring on the auditing process and the workflow as well

ACL Analytics software

Comentarios: Very postive since 2009

Puntos a favor:

Scripting and basis use, continous audit

Puntos en contra:

ACL SAP connector Machine learning command Python programming

Why I recommend Highbond?

Puntos a favor:

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.

Puntos en contra:

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.
