Streamlined workflow and enhanced simplicity with an easy setup
I used AuditBoard primarily for risk assessment questionnaires in a very premature risk environment. I also have experience with IBM OpenPages, mostly for operational risk to track issues, to look at risks and controls The collaboration within my team had not yet significantly changed since…

Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface
One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"The most valuable feature is that everybody can use the same tool. You can give a person permission to use AuditBoard and define their access to the Audit Table. For example, we can allow external auditors or clients to review our completed tests. The clients are attached to specific tests that happen regularly, like inventory counts and asset counts. Debt compliance is only done once annually."
"In AuditBoard, there are all the audit steps, including documentation, archiving, and tracking the progress of audits."
"AuditBoard has several solutions for governance, internal audit, and other categories."
"I find the most significant elements of this solution are the out-of-the-box reporting, the ease of workflow, workflow management, and the ease of managing our audit process."
"Considering the solution's return on investment, it has been extremely helpful since we were doing a lot of documentation. Previously, in our company, we were using an Excel sheet which made things quite messy."
"AuditBoard is very user-friendly compared to other audit management software I have used in the past."
"The most significant feature of AuditBoard is its community tools. It provides an internal communication platform that enables users to communicate within the system rather than relying on external tools such as Outlook or Microsoft products. By communicating within the system, all interactions are centralized and accessible, promoting a streamlined workflow."
"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."
"FileCloud has given great benefits in terms of fostering a collaborative environment and sharing data while maintaining the integrity and security of the data."
"FileCloud is a solid, enterprise-grade solution for secure file sharing and collaboration, giving you the control of on-premises with the flexibility of cloud, which is a significant advantage."
"Since using FileCloud, I have reduced the cost in our organization by at least 70% in our storage area, which shows a 70% cost optimization."
"Since using FileCloud, we have saved approximately 40% of the time it previously took to access data because we can retrieve information at any time with an internet connection."
"I decided to switch from OneDrive to FileCloud because FileCloud offers advantages over all the cloud products I have used, as it is more cost-effective, fast, and reliable, with unparalleled security compared to other alternatives, and it is very easy to use, allowing us to access our server and retrieve our files with ease."
"My advice for others looking into using FileCloud is that you can use it for remote storage, as it is good and better than other providers."
"Overall, FileCloud is a strong fit for what we need; it gives us better control, better user experience, and much stronger governance than the legacy approach we are replacing."
 

Cons

"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"AuditBoard has the potential for improvement in a few key areas. Firstly, I have experienced instances where the platform has experienced technical issues and ceased to function effectively. Additionally, the editing tools provided within the platform can be slow and laggy, particularly when trying to access and edit important documents. This can be a hindrance to my workflow and efficiency. To address these issues, they should begin by improving the speed and reliability of the platform, as well as enhancing the search engine to make it easier to find specific controls and documents within the platform."
"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"A handful of things in the solution need to be improved. One of them is better communication of updates to the system or tool itself."
"Some of that flexibility could be enhanced. When comparing Archer and TeamMate+, there is a little more open-ended in terms of certain of our audit processes and procedures. And there is significantly greater freedom in creating ad hoc audit processes and procedures, whereas AuditBoard is a little more limiting in this regard."
"After sending out a request to my network for documents, it would be great to have a receipt that shows who received the request and who did not."
"The initial setup is somewhat difficult because it has multiple pieces that need to be stitched together. You have to integrate it with the business unit you want to test if you want to go down from the corporate level to the operational level."
"They should improve the solution's test sheets feature for ease of use."
"I would suggest that the cost could be reduced to give smaller organizations a chance to afford this tool."
"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."
"The biggest area for improvement in FileCloud is the admin experience around troubleshooting and observability."
"I think FileCloud could be improved because we are using different types of databases and need database separation for different types of database providers such as MongoDB, MariaDB, and MySQL."
"The requirement to uninstall and reinstall after every other update is time-consuming and should be addressed."
"The price can be a little higher for smaller organizations, but for medium to large enterprises, the price is very cost-effective and affordable."
"I rate FileCloud a 7 out of 10 because, as a small marketing team needing to do simple tasks such as syncing Photoshop files or collaborating on a Word document, it feels excessive."
"When I mention the UI interface and organizing files, I find that it is not that great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I highly recommend this tool as the price is reasonable. However, consistent pricing is important, and having a loyalty program that rewards long-term customers with lower prices would be a great addition."
"Pricing is variable, like with any technology, and is determined by how hard you wish to negotiate. You can get to a price you're willing to pay if you're willing to negotiate aggressively."
