Reseñas y detalles del producto de ZenGRC

Overview:

Our company got ISO 27001 certified in 2019 and our ISMS was managed through Google docs, spreadsheets, and some of it in Atlassian products. This worked fine but was not much scalable nor did we have a single source of truth to refer to. In addition, we started to prepare for a SOC 2 certification in 2021 and now wanted to map our controls against multiple compliance frameworks. We reviewed several tools mentioned in the 2020 Gartner report for GRC products and narrowed down to ZenGRC for several reasons: It's nimble and faster to adopt than products, and yet strikes a good balance between simplicity and feature coverage. As a SaaS platform, we see ZenGRC growing with us as we progress our compliance programs.

Onboarding experience:

This process was a very pleasant experience with a set of scheduled video calls and hands-on training on the product. There was plenty of time for open questions and in some sessions, a Reciprocity GRC expert joined to answer specific questions on frameworks and how to apply them in the tool. This added a lot of value.

In addition to the onboarding sessions, we got access to the Zen University, an e-learning platform with video courses covering all areas of the product. The course modules are easy to follow tutorials that encourage to use the product while watching to get the most out of it. These courses were a great way to prepare each onboarding video call and note questions.

We also have access to ZenGRC's online documentation which covered all our needs so far. There are tutorials on features and also tips and tricks on how to utilise the product most effectively.

Access to GRC experts:

As mentioned above in the onboarding experience, having access to GRC experts when we are stuck with a certain question adds a lot of value to the services provided. We not only have access to a platform to manage our compliance programs but can also resolve roadblocks through expert advice as.

Data import:

As with all GRC products, data import is an important aspect and the CSV import functionality ZenGRC offers works really well. I was able to pick it up within a very short time and important most of our data already during our onboarding phase. The importer supports copy & paste from a spreadsheet, import of a spreadsheet directly and has useful validation to avoid importing incorrect data.

Ideas portal:

After onboarding, we have been pointed to an ideas portal where Reciprocity customers can vote on existing product ideas submitted by other customers or submit their own. It's really useful to see what features other customers requested and upvote what's of most value for our organization. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

If you come from a very mature Google world, then ZenGRC's interfaces look a little basic in some areas. However, this doesn't really affect functionality or effectivity of the product.

The dashboard functionality served us well for now but could add a little more customizability. That being said, there have been improvements since we have adopted ZenGRC and there are more improvements on the roadmap. Also, we use Tableau and the native integration would solve all our needs for reporting should we ever need more.

The list view navigation and search sometimes require more clicks than necessary depending on what you are looking for. This has been raised in the ideas portal already and improvements are in the works. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

ZenGRC es muy adaptable para satisfacer nuestras necesidades específicas para gestionar nuestro gran contrato. El hecho de que podamos personalizar el programa para que funcione para nosotros es la mejor característica en mi opinión. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

El único cambio que recomendaría sería la capacidad de cambiar la convención estándar de nomenclatura. Usamos el término requisitos o resultados en lugar de objetivos. Aunque esto es un desagrado muy menor. Hemos podido adaptarnos sin demasiadas quejas de nuestros usuarios empresariales. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

ZenGRC provides a solid risk management solution that is easy to use and integrates well with other tools such as JIRA and Splunk. Assessments such as PCI and NIST are easier to manage and the dash board reporting provides an excellent holistic view of our overall security posture. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

At times it feels like there are too many options when building a program, mapping etc. Having such flexibility is great but sometimes, it would be nice to have existing builds for established industry standards. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I love that all of the information I need for an audit is connected (mapped) to each other. By opening one control, I can see the objectives it covers, the test plans, the owner, the related policies, any associated risks, etc. It's SO MUCH better than trying to keep it all straight in a spreadsheet. I can take care of vendors, risks, audits.... all in the same pane of glass. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I would like to see some improvements in queries/filters. Especially for the dashboards. I would love an option for "not assigned." For example, I want to create a dashboard for how many controls don't have any associated tasks. That can help me demonstrate how far along we are on a project. The dashboard section could use some more in depth documentation. Perhaps some more examples on how to get the most out of it. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Ease of operations, metrics displaying level of program maturity Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Perhaps the reporting could be made easier Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

ZenGRC is a great tool for my company as we do a lot of compliance frameworks so it's easier to track and map to. I like that I can cross-map to all the other frameworks and see what isn't mapped and need to improve on. Great to use to notified process owners about what evidence is needed and what previous evidence was submitted before. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It can have some improvement be done on it to be more user friendly. We have some process owners that are not experience in Compliance framework and trying to navigate the tool. But once they understand where to go and what to look for it, is convenient for them. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

1. Versatilidad; puede satisfacer una gran cantidad de casos de uso y es extremadamente intuitivo.

2. Integraciones; ZenGRC se conecta fácilmente a herramientas de productividad comunes como JIRA y Slack, lo que facilita su uso en una organización distribuida.

3. Soporte al cliente; Zen cuenta con gerentes de soporte y éxito del cliente dedicados que facilitan su implementación y puesta en marcha. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Si te resulta difícil encontrar una solución GRC que cumpla con algunos requisitos muy específicos o de nicho (por ejemplo, informes del Artículo 30 para el GDPR), Zen puede que no cubra todas tus bases, pero esto se compensa fácilmente con su bajo precio y versatilidad general para cualquier marco.

ZenGRC is able to help us manage all of our compliance activities from audits to vendor reviews. It is wonderful to be able to use the same tool for multiple use cases. The tool is easy to configure and fairly intuitive. It does not take long to understand how to set it up for your specific needs. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

It would be nice if ZenGRC could help automate the vendor reviews by allowing us to configure the answers we want to see and having the tool flag those questions that don't meet our criteria, which are the ones we need to focus on. I would also like to see the export of the questionnaires in a little more readable format. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

PROS:

- Continuous updates and feature upgrades.

- Staff are easy going and friendly to work with.

- Customizable Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

- Since it is so customizable, the things you can't customize sometimes get in the way. However, Reciprocity is very receptive to feedback and often update the product when it makes sense to do so. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
