Enhancing decision-making with automation and integration capabilities
Overall, ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier is powerful, but there are some areas for improvement. A few areas could be better; first, the learning curve is steep for new users, and a guided onboarding or tutorial would help. Second, report customization could be more flexible so different teams can see exactly what they need. Additionally, handling very large data sets can slow down occasionally, so performance optimization would be helpful. Finally, adding more predictive analytics or AI-driven insights could automatically highlight unusual risks or trends without manual analysis. We mostly work on data, so we face many challenges with large data sets when using ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier. When you feed very large data sets into RQ, such as hundreds of applications and thousands of vulnerabilities, the performance can sometimes slow down during scoring or dashboard updates. It doesn't break, but processing can take longer than expected. This is mostly unnoticeable during bulk imports or complex scenario analysis, so planning updates during off-peak hours or breaking data into smaller batches can help. Overall, it's reliable, but performance could be improved for very large-scale data and environments. It would be great to have more interactive dashboards that let users drill down easily without leaving the main view. Another useful addition could be automated alerts or notifications when risk scores change significantly, so the team doesn't have to check a dashboard constantly. Lastly, more built-in guidance or AI tips for interpreting FAIR-based metrics could help new users to get up to speed faster. Overall, the tool is strong, but these additions would make it even more efficient and user-friendly.

Has cross-functional connectivity but improvement is needed in script encoding
The tool's deployment is quick. Once the program is set up, you're ready to collect data and connect it to your report. The deployment team's size depends on the size of the company and how many different data providers you're utilizing. Some companies have one person doing everything, while others have a huge team. We're on the latter end of it, with many people involved. One great thing about the platform is that everything is consolidated in one place, providing a single resource for everyone. This is a benefit. The maintenance of the solution depends on the experience of the person managing the company's program. The company might have a contractor handling the back end and software management if they're low-level and only analyzing the data. However, if you have someone experienced with software and script encoding, that person might be the analyst and managing the program. Generally, most people are just analysts and not managing the software. There's an opportunity for improvement in user management of their software, and I hope they address this gap before the year ends.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier definitely saves our time and money, for example, manual risk reporting time dropped by around 60% to 70% since the dashboard and automated scoring handle most calculations."
"With ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier, our team can respond much faster because risks are quantified and prioritized automatically, so we know what to tackle first."
"ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier has positively impacted both our organization and our customers' organizations by improving how we prioritize and manage risk scores across multiple clients."
"ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier has positively impacted both our organization and our customers' organizations by improving how we prioritize and manage risk scores across multiple clients."
"The collaboration within the platform is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to easily upload and update financial results, creating a dynamic data sheet."
"Workiva Wdesk has a flow diagram that is standardized, making it easy for people to file documents on ECDAs, which are in HTML format."
 

Cons

"The user interface for multiple clients and large-scale deployment should be improved because we have observed sluggishness when navigating between clients and assets, and it takes time to resolve."
"When you feed very large data sets into RQ, such as hundreds of applications and thousands of vulnerabilities, the performance can sometimes slow down during scoring or dashboard updates."
"The user interface for multiple clients and large-scale deployment should be improved because we have observed sluggishness when navigating between clients and assets, and it takes time to resolve."
"When you feed very large data sets into RQ, such as hundreds of applications and thousands of vulnerabilities, the performance can sometimes slow down during scoring or dashboard updates."
"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."
"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."
"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 speed must be improved."
"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."
"Regarding the solution, reporting has certain areas that can be considered for improvement."
"The most critical issue is the need to shift between uppercase and lowercase."
