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.

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

"The most valuable feature of ACL Analytics is its powerful data control capabilities."
"It improved my organization using ​an automated audit revision with scripts."
"Initial setup is straightforward."
"The product pays for itself very quickly."
"Programming by scripts is very flexible and has hundreds of functions."
"I rate ACL Analytics nine out of ten."
"ACL Analytics is a great application that helps me analyze data more effectively compared to other tools like Excel."
"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 is a difference as well between two different records."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"​Reporting and presentation of information directly to solutions, such as PowerPoint.​"
"The ease of use could be better."
"A person must have someone teach them how to use ACL Analytics as a common person cannot use it independently."
"The product's pricing has increased over the years."
"The live training costs are too expensive."
"The visualization capabilities in ACL Analytics need more variety and features."
"I believe the formulas and scripting language in ACL Analytics need development to be easier for me to use."
"Currently, the platform is not very comfortable for users coming from a non-technical or non-coding background."
"If the product is used in a small organization, it doesn't work well."
 

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