Great audit tool

Are workload has become easier to handle with AB. Overall, reporting and extraction of workpapers is more efficient.

Pros

The ease of use and functionality are great. Customer service is awesome.

Cons

It is quite expensive compared to other vendors we originally looked at. Yet, the investment is well worth the price.

Great SOX Management System

Overall I am very satistied with AuditBoard and I'm happy we selected it for management of our SOX program.

Pros

AuditBoard's SOXHUB is a great GRC solution for managing a SOX program. It's super easy to manage in all ways, including adding documentation, managing PBC requests, user access, etc. I like that everything is contained within the system, so all documentation is in one place. Being able to manage PBC request within AuditBoard and then link them to the control testing significantly reduces email traffic and makes review and testing more efficient.

Cons

Sometimes it's hard to run reporting for exactly what we want, but I think with more experience we will get better at generating reports.

SOX Hub Experience

We have been using SOXHUB for a few months and have very happy with the ease of use they system provides. There are some basic functionality features (e.g. additional reporting capabilities, issue tracking, etc) I wish the system had immediately available, but I have been told some of these features are in the works. Overall, we are happy with the purchase thus far.

Pros

Ease of Use

Cons

Reporting capabilities & Issue Tracking

A Sensible Internal Audit Software Solution!

It has been really good! They have teams of very helpful staff that are kind to work with.

Pros

The software has been created for use by auditors, so it aligns with practice and fills audit needs. The system well-documents audits from start to finish, provides great oversight and dashboard reporting to audit management, and is continually being improved by the engineer team. They even take user opinions into account quite often. The entire staff has found it intuitive to use and easy to navigate. We love the Controls Module for our SOX control work! Business owners are also complimentary when we roll out automated survey, certifications, PBC requests, etc. The system features can save audit teams time once initial set-up has occurred. It is also reasonably priced. We are very happy with our choice to partner with AuditBoard!

Cons

So far, the Risk Oversight Module that we just recently implemented has been my least favorite piece, but we are still working on it. It seems to have been designed more for Risk Departments and ERM teams, than for audit's risk assessments of their auditable entities. We've lost some features we had in our spreadsheets, but will keep building. Also, the tired pricing of some modules based on the number of controls can make it expensive to set all risks and controls up in the system, but we'd like to be comprehensive.

Very Good Solution with Great Support Team

The AuditBoard team is great to work with and very proactive in assisting customers. They are continuously making enhancements to their products which helps us, as customers, achieve even greater efficiencies with the solution.

Pros

The user interface is intuitive, making it very easy for the end users to complete requirements. The different modules offered can support a company very well. Deployment globally was seamless and the system itself is very responsive (no time lag).

Cons

Design and permission adjustments, while possible, are a bit challenging - expectation is to use the software "out of the box" which might not appeal if a more nuanced or complex approach is needed. The team is supportive in achieving requirements but it's a bit of a lift.
