Regarding automation, they could enhance features for checking real-time data when someone attempts to access data without proper permissions. Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong. Having prevention alerts immediately when someone triggers unauthorized actions would allow us to address these situations proactively.
I have encountered problems with certain functionalities of SAP BusinessObjects GRC, and the client is not very satisfied. While this is an SAP native solution that clients want to use, it is not always reliable. I am working on features that are not functioning as expected, which creates significant difficulties in management. The workflow management system needs improvement. The BRFplus component in SAP BusinessObjects GRC requires better stability and functionality. There are specific technical aspects that could be more elaborate.
There isn't anything in particular that my company doesn't like about the product. It is an old system that is currently being used by its users, which works in areas like prompts and reports. I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones.

The learning curve is high. It could be easier to use. An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time.
BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great. They need to invest heavily in business planning and consolidation. They have a BPC tool, which is known for planning and consolidation, but its implementation consumes a lot of effort. It is not that easy to implement. It would be better if they come up with a solution that is more user-friendly and easy to integrate so that we can have multiple consolidations or versions.
SAP GRC helps you automatically detect, remediate, and prevent access risk violations - no matter the industry or business size. Get real-time visibility into your current risk position, and confidently reduce unauthorized access, fraud, and the cost of compliance.

We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support.
