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…

Acts as a software inventory of applications in an environment

I face some difficulty while upgrading any field in the application. Suppose I change an application's IT owner field, which is at the end of the application. After I save the change, it takes me to the top of the page, which is an issue for me. After you change and save the pre-filled specific information at the end of an application page, the application will again take you to the top of the page.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"There are lots of features."

"For AuditBoard, the simple workflow made it very easy to code with the group."

"In AuditBoard, there are all the audit steps, including documentation, archiving, and tracking the progress of audits."

"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."

"AuditBoard is very user-friendly compared to other audit management software I have used in the past."

"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."

"The solution is user-friendly, easy to set up, and provides a single console where you can easily track what you need, including how to proceed for reassessment, how to upload evidence, and how to put in a remark."

More AuditBoard pros

"We can get all the information about all the applications in a single platform."

Cons

"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."

"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."

"The layout for the end user could be improved."

"AuditBoard could benefit from the addition of video capabilities, although it is not a necessity. Small companies that cannot afford licenses for Microsoft Teams or Zoom would benefit greatly from this feature, as it would enhance the communication process."

"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."

"It is not easy to analyze the results of a survey as a whole."

"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."

"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."

More AuditBoard cons

"After you change and save the pre-filled specific information at the end of an application page, the application will again take you to the top of the page."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."
