Have significantly reduced audit hours through automation and advanced data integration with robust connectors

The key feature of ACL Analytics is integration, which allows for vast amounts of data sources you can connect to. The tool itself allows you to integrate it into your audit work in terms of taking exceptions that you receive from your analytics. It provides integration into your GRC platform and into your audit working files, and then one key thing is the vast amounts of connectors. We have seen a return on investment as we have mostly reduced working hours for the audit engagements. If an auditor was normally budgeted to take 600 hours, we have implemented a solution to take those audit hours down to 200 hours. We are mostly taking those metrics.

-- at a performing arts with 201-500 employees

The streamlined process of getting policies out to all staff in a quick efficient manner has been most valuable.

Currently we have monthly competencies that the 2 Staff Development Departments would initiate by a manual paper process and have to track staff down for all 3 shifts. Since we have started placing these items on Policytech, we have had a much better compliance rate as the staff are able to do it and it automatically records responses and results. Staff either read a document or view a powerpoint and then have a survey to answer, they have to receive a passing grade and if they pass they then receive the competency for that specific training. What we would like to add would be to be able to have Templates for certificates as we have different types of programs that have specific required documentation on the certificates, currently the certificates are one size fits all and that doesn’t work for us. So we are running a weekly report and manually send staff certificates. Another area is tracking Writer, Reviewer, and Approver statuses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It improved my organization using an automated audit revision with scripts."

"The most valuable feature of ACL Analytics is its powerful data control capabilities."

"Initial setup is straightforward."

"Programming by scripts is very flexible and has hundreds of functions."

"I rate ACL Analytics nine out of ten."

"The product pays for itself very quickly."

"It is very flexible and has hundreds of functions."

"I like the fact that in the duplicate section, I can find matches, and I can find situations where certain cells or certain cell points match, but there's a difference as well between two different records."

More ACL Analytics pros

"Technical support is excellent."

"PolicyTech has probably been the most reliable solution we have and it's been the most stable solution over the last eight years, compared to any other information technology solution we've had."

"Worth every penny. Not a critical business process worth skimping on; its impact when fully introduced and utilized is incomparable."

"This solution gives an opportunity for anonymous hotline complaints."

"The streamlined process of getting policies out to all staff in a quick efficient manner has been most valuable."

"Allowing the input of investigation cases, the ability to track information and to compile data, it allows us to prepare detailed reports for different levels of the organization in the form of Excel spreadsheets, graphics, percentages of descriptive reports daily, monthly, yearly and number of cases per those periods."

"Before choosing, there were four different options that I was looking at, and going through all the tutorials and talking with the salespeople really sold me on NAVEX Global because I thought they were the gold standard for that type of policy format."

"Technical support is great."

More NAVEX Global pros

Cons

"The live training costs are too expensive."

"The tool's pricing is quite high. When I purchased the software, I constantly contacted the representatives. I requested a single license, but they informed me that only packages of three licenses were available. This made it very difficult for us to manage the cost, especially given the economic challenges in our country."

"Currently, the platform is not very comfortable for users coming from a non-technical or non-coding background."

"We have an issue with the hard coding of passwords in ACL Analytics. You do not have an interface where you can enter a password and then it can be encrypted when you enter it."

"It would be beneficial if the software could improve its capabilities when extracting data from databases, particularly for those who may not be familiar with SQL queries."

"The visualization capabilities in ACL Analytics need more variety and features."

"The ease of use could be better."

"Reporting and presentation of information directly to solutions, such as PowerPoint."

More ACL Analytics cons

"We get a huge amount of complaints from users about the email system. They get lots and lots of emails, and they don’t necessarily have a good way to manage them."

"The reporting functions are terrible."

"Recent product update led to confusion."

"Uploading PDFs is more time consuming and you have to go in and out of multiple screens/functions."

"What we would like to add would be to be able to have templates for certificates as we have different types of programs that have specific required documentation on the certificates, currently the certificates are one size fits all and that doesn’t work for us."

"There is an area on the “New Case” screen that I have reported a while back that when we click the drop down box to select state, then onto select the city, the state selection selected is deselected, it’s selected again and the city is deselected but after a couple of selections with it only in that area it does maintain the selection."

"Truthfully, the hardest part is that there are some little setup things that need to be done before people can actually use PolicyTech."

"We had some problems in middle of July, when we stopped getting our email notifications."

More NAVEX Global cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of $5,000 is high, and transferring money from one country to another, particularly in dollars, is challenging due to high exchange rates. Although we managed to purchase it then, the lack of a single license option and the high cost were issues."

"The pricing for me as an individual seems a lot. For our organization, the price is okay. It's about $6,000 a year. I don't know of any additional costs."
