The streamlined process of getting policies out to all staff in a quick efficient manner has been most valuable.
Currently we have monthly competencies that the 2 Staff Development Departments would initiate by a manual paper process and have to track staff down for all 3 shifts. Since we have started placing these items on Policytech, we have had a much better compliance rate as the staff are able to do it and it automatically records responses and results. Staff either read a document or view a powerpoint and then have a survey to answer, they have to receive a passing grade and if they pass they then receive the competency for that specific training. What we would like to add would be to be able to have Templates for certificates as we have different types of programs that have specific required documentation on the certificates, currently the certificates are one size fits all and that doesn’t work for us. So we are running a weekly report and manually send staff certificates. Another area is tracking Writer, Reviewer, and Approver statuses.

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

"Before choosing, there were four different options that I was looking at, and going through all the tutorials and talking with the salespeople really sold me on NAVEX Global because I thought they were the gold standard for that type of policy format."
"Technical support is great."
"The streamlined process of getting policies out to all staff in a quick efficient manner has been most valuable."
"The company is always timely, they always have good suggestions, and they always have quick fixes for me."
"Worth every penny. Not a critical business process worth skimping on; its impact when fully introduced and utilized is incomparable."
"Allowing the input of investigation cases, the ability to track information and to compile data, it allows us to prepare detailed reports for different levels of the organization in the form of Excel spreadsheets, graphics, percentages of descriptive reports daily, monthly, yearly and number of cases per those periods."
"This solution gives an opportunity for anonymous hotline complaints."
"Technical support is excellent."
"We can get all the information about all the applications in a single platform."
 

Cons

"We get a huge amount of complaints from users about the email system. They get lots and lots of emails, and they don’t necessarily have a good way to manage them."
"The reporting functions are terrible."
"We had some problems in middle of July, when we stopped getting our email notifications."
"Uploading PDFs is more time consuming and you have to go in and out of multiple screens/functions."
"What we would like to add would be to be able to have templates for certificates as we have different types of programs that have specific required documentation on the certificates, currently the certificates are one size fits all and that doesn’t work for us."
"The one thing that I noticed was, it times out sometimes."
"There is an area on the “New Case” screen that I have reported a while back that when we click the drop down box to select state, then onto select the city, the state selection selected is deselected, it’s selected again and the city is deselected but after a couple of selections with it only in that area it does maintain the selection."
"Recent product update led to confusion."
"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."
