IBM OpenPages vs Workiva Wdesk comparison

"The ability to keep a record of internal incidents in the company, and also the monitoring of Key Indicators."

"The product’s interface is very intuitive."

"The content, reporting, and workflow features stand out as the most valuable aspects."

"Workiva Wdesk is pretty good in terms of getting the data from the system, automating the reporting schedules...It has a very good integration with ERP tools."

"Workiva Wdesk has a flow diagram that is standardized, making it easy for people to file documents on ECDAs, which are in HTML format."

"The cross-functionality between connectivity, whether through API connections between different software platforms or the connection of data collection to the actual written ESG report, is highly valuable. The connectivity of all these aspects significantly aids in data assurance, which I consider a bonus."

"The collaboration within the platform is valuable."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to easily upload and update financial results, creating a dynamic data sheet."

"It makes the compliance process more efficient and more effective."

"It helps you to maintain a backup of your data, including the connectivity with the tables, which provides a user-friendly way to handle and access your files."

"IBM OpenPages needs improvement in its UI. Currently, it is difficult to see the relationships (associations/parents) between all items unless you click on the item itself."

"I believe there's room for improvement in establishing connections with external information."

"The solution must allow customization in reporting."

"With this product, it's more about the integrated data model where you can have a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship between your policies and processes, risks, and controls. They need to showcase how you can put those pieces together."

"The speed must be improved."

"One area where Workiva Wdesk could improve is by ensuring that its cloud-based system is fully compatible with the most current versions of PowerPoint and Excel."

"The most critical issue is the need to shift between uppercase and lowercase."

"Regarding the solution, reporting has certain areas that can be considered for improvement."

"At this point, I don't see a compelling reason to invest in Workiva. It may be necessary for compliance and controlling the version of SCC, but not everyone needs its high-end capabilities."

"The tool's script encoding needs to be updated to make it more user-friendly and less of a manual process when changes are made to a company's program. Those changes happen frequently due to mandatory or voluntary reporting requirements, leading to lost linkage connections that must be manually reset each time a change is made. This aspect is not functional now, and I see it as an opportunity for improvement."

"The solution is not cheap."

"Our clients in Asia think that the solution is too expensive."
