AB
Administrator at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Supports process modeling and customization but needs better reporting flexibility and UI improvements
As an administrator, I would improve MEGA HOPEX by adding a WYSIWYG feature for building reports, which would be very helpful. Additionally, I would want reporting customization from the front end web application, not only from the Windows app, which is the customizer. If all changes could be made in the web application, that would be beneficial because every time we need to request access to the server, it takes time in large organizations and involves multiple levels of approvals from cybersecurity and IT security, which can block the project. Regarding dashboards in MEGA HOPEX, they could definitely be better. Having something similar to ARIS would make it easier to build dashboards, providing a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience, allowing me to drag and drop elements, configure them, and test queries. Moreover, RFQL language is not common, so in MEGA HOPEX, I need to learn RFQL querying. In terms of additional features for MEGA HOPEX, I would appreciate more features for workflows. There are limitations in customizing the email notifications sent during workflows. When creating a workflow, I can configure actions and customize the text, but not the header and footer. Therefore, all emails from the tool come with a MEGA HOPEX header. In large organizations like BPM COE, we want to have our own logo, header, and footer in those emails, but this is not configurable, which I find limiting. I would appreciate easier features to customize workflows and create workflows.

Automated workflows have reduced manual follow-ups and improve third-party risk oversight
MetricStream's best features include its ease of use, compliance program, TPRM, audit management, and implementation effort. It effectively handles large data volumes and provides good workflow capabilities with decent reporting flexibility and a better user interface. MetricStream impacts the organization by reducing follow-ups through reminder settings during questionnaire assignments. It automatically sends reminders based on set reminders, fostering trust when configured with the organization's email domain. Metrics improvements like operational efficiency, centralized GRC management, enhanced risk visibility, streamlined compliance, reduced manual efforts, enhanced third-party risk monitoring, improved decision-making with real-time dashboards, and risk analytics follow from automated workflows and issue tracking.
