Carbide Reviews & Product Details

Carbide provides you with the tools and resources you need to get started on your security and compliance programs. Not only can you track your progress against specific compliance standards, but you also start to round out so many important details that are not always at the forefront within a smaller organization. Carbide gives you the spark you need -- providing you with templates, allowing you to get a leg up and not start from scratch in what can be an overwhelming space.

The resources and training available are top-notch as well, and you have a dedicated and informed team ready to help you through when you need it. As someone so new to security and compliance, the best part has been the thorough Help Center and the downloadable resources. In particular, the downloadable resources help you to quickly get some tasks done, without a headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While there are many great things about Carbide, there are a few downfalls. I find it a bit confusing when uploading evidence -- being that there seems to be so many ways to do so -- and, I find the overall experience not as intuitive as other platforms/applications. Though I am new to security and compliance, I find some areas tricky to understand in understanding exactly what I need to do.

There are also a few instances where the "Evidence Implementation" calls out something that I later find is referenced by another name -- not a big detail, but something I've come across. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a dedicated person to walk through all the tasks and hold me accountable for completing the projects has been extremely helpful. As a newbie to SaaS compliance having an expert guide me along the way has made the experience less anxiety riddled. It's nice to have an expert to answer questions and clarify things, because let's face it, google and chatgpt aren't always the most reliable.

The system is really user friendly. The platform is easy to navigate and it what I really love is the fact that there are templates to work from so you're not creating things from scractch. THe dashboards are great as well, being able to see how much progress I'm making gives me the ability to keep the leadership team up to date with real data on how much progress has been made.

I initally thought that Carbide would be the one source of truth for all our compliance documents. I thought I could store for example, all our contract agreements, all our comprehensive information on compliance related items but instead it's just a place to store evidence so it's more of a snapshot in time. I would have liked the ability to really make this tool a one stop for alot of our document management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Carbide for a while now and it's honestly a game-changer for handling security and privacy stuff. It's super adaptable to different security rules, which is a lifesaver with all the changing regulations. The platform is really user-friendly too, making complex security tasks way simpler. Plus, the Carbide team is always there to help out, which is super reassuring. In short, Carbide is a solid choice for any business that wants to keep its data safe and stay on top of privacy laws.

Nothing so far it's a great platform and I haven't had any issues to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- First of all the people. Friendly, charming and extremely helpful. They make the herculean effort of becoming compliant with multiple certifications and frameworks.

- Their commercial model, which is really market leading (and I came to this conclusion after talking with 7 companies in this specific market segment).

- It provides a lot of extremely useful functionality out of the box, like vulnerability scanning, an integrated risk assessment tool, asset and vendor management.

- The awareness training worths the money by itself.

- Very easy integration with Google Suite and AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Some parts of the UI are clunky. E.g. references between documents is a missing feature.

- Uploading evidence can be confusing, since there are multiple options to upload files in a task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They could have more connectors, but they are working on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing that stood out to me the most was their reponse times and availability to help (customer support)! They are alwyas on standby to provide assistance and explanations for any issues or hiccups you make encounter, and are incredibly flexible and understanding when it comes to meetings.

I love their in depth workshops as well. They really help get familiar with the topics at hand and are incredibly in depth to help catch any issues or inconsistencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
