Cons
"I expect usability features to become more refined over time. I'm interested to see how it evolves and continues to improve.""There is room for improvements when it comes to the licensing.""An improvement would be if there was an another way to manage the logs besides email because it's not so practical.""When there are issues I would like remediation to be in one place.""The Linux compatibility of this solution could be improved.""If you buy direct, there is a minimum of 150 licenses that must be procured. The price point and barrier of entry is a little bit higher than it would be if you purchased the solution from an authorized reseller partner, rather than buying it and managing yourself.""There is room for improvement with the introduction of AI functionality.""The solution lacks self-service on password reset. It also needs to improve its scalability."

"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.""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.""Regarding the solution, reporting has certain areas that can be considered for improvement.""The speed must be improved.""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 most critical issue is the need to shift between uppercase and lowercase."
