"Great for Audit Automation, But Needs Better Risk Assessment Integration"
What do you like best about Optro?

I really appreciate how I can automate reviews and help streamline the execution of our audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

I find it frustrating that the platform does not make it easy to conduct annual internal audit risk assessments. It fails to incorporate our previous year's residual risk inputs, which makes it difficult to compare them with current results. Additionally, it does not clearly integrate the issues identified during risk assessments and completed internal audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Design and Centralized SOX Management"
What do you like best about Optro?

I love how AuditBoard has a very intuitive design for end-users, making it easy to navigate. It's modern and pleasing to use, not looking 'clunky' at all. I also found the initial setup to be pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

There are a few improvements that various team members have suggested. The 'views' in the new reporting platform should have better management, like allowing folders or subsections for various teams so the list doesn't look very cluttered. Also, there should be better visibility of who created a view, when, and why (notes). Additionally, when users navigate to a view and take a deeper dive, going back to the previous screen resets everything and the user has to start over again. Additionally, when drilling down in source data, there should be links to go to an object (control or issues or task, etc.). For Risk Oversight, there could be more improvements for entity level risk assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Audit Efficiency with User-Friendly Setup"
What do you like best about Optro?

I like using AuditBoard because it is easy to use and simple to set up and navigate. As an external auditor, I appreciate that I don't need to waste unnecessary hours tracking items down, as the dashboard streamlines efficiency for me. It allows the engagement team to log the status of request items during audit periods, which is very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

At first, it was the access that I was granted. However, once the admin adjusted my credentials and permissions, I was able to utilize the tool more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and Comprehensive Audit Management"
What do you like best about Optro?

I love how user-friendly AuditBoard is. As one of the administrators, I find it really easy to go in and add or remove fields and create new audit templates for different projects like continuous monitoring and regulatory reviews. AuditBoard also solves consistency problems for us, ensuring that all audits are completed in a consistent manner. The AI capabilities have been a real boon, helping our teams with consistent report and issues drafting. Overall, I love AuditBoard and recommend it to anyone that I hear is looking for a new tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

In exploring annotate it would be helpful to have review notes linked within the documents that are being reviewed. Additionally, since we don't use the workstream platform, we would look for more easy use ways to connect our outside partners (e.g., Archer, ServiceNow) into our platform and the way we use it. I think it would be helpful to have some self-create dashboards in the platform as well, not just the canned dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Saves Audit Time, Needs Better Reporting Flexibility"
What do you like best about Optro?

I appreciate how AuditBoard simplifies compliance and risk assessment and saves time on audit workflows. It makes life easier for auditors, simplifies connecting data, and saves hours of manual work. The initial setup was pretty smooth with dedicated support that helped with onboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

Reporting could be more flexible. Some features feel a bit clunky. For example, more custom fields in reports and better data visualization options would be great. The workflow setup can be unintuitive, and the mobile app could be snappier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Audits with Continuous Improvement"
What do you like best about Optro?

I use AuditBoard for a variety of tasks including SOX and Operational Audits, risk assessments, and more within our Internal Audit function. I like how it helps us deploy resources efficiently across our audit plan and manage those audits from start to finish. Tracking and managing issue remediation is straightforward, and performing risk assessments in the tool is effective. What I like most is the continuous improvement of the tool and the new features that are being rolled out, which really enhances its usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

Some functionality is in early stages and makes it difficult to use, including things like resource planner and some of the newer proposed functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great User Experience (Even the Auditees Love it)"
What do you like best about Optro?

Have you ever heard an auditee being pleased with being audited? Ours are and mostly because we have made it super easy for them to understand their controls and engage them in the overall process through the most user-friendly auditing platform, AuditBoard. We just recently implemented and the response has been very positive among the user community. We have one single hub for all risks and controls. The workflow capability makes it well-integrated where the auditees can go to their dashboards and make a one-stop shop for all things risks and controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

I am a CPA so cost is always an area that can be improved. We would like it to be less costly so that it becomes a no-brainer for all audit organizations. We had to build a business case and it was a hard sell because of its price so hopefully as they dominate the market, they can lower their cost and it will be a win-win.

"Centralized Audit Management Made Easy with Customization"
What do you like best about Optro?

I appreciate how AuditBoard centralizes all my audit items, making it easier to maintain and access critical information in one place. The customization capabilities stand out to me as highly valuable, as they allow me to tailor the experience to better fit my specific needs. I find the features related to document requests, organized libraries, and risk management particularly beneficial, assisting in streamlining these processes efficiently. The risk assessments and workstreams are tools I highly value, as they enhance my ability to manage and evaluate risks effectively. Furthermore, the initial setup was quite easy thanks to the supportive implementation team, which made the transition to using the software smooth and straightforward. Overall, these attributes collectively reinforce my positive experience with AuditBoard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

Although I find the customization in AuditBoard incredibly valuable, it can introduce complexity, which might make it challenging to navigate and utilize effectively at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Our Audits with Unmatched Ease"
What do you like best about Optro?

I find AuditBoard incredibly useful for our Internal Audit team, particularly in managing SOX and operational audits. The system's ease of documentation is remarkably beneficial, as it creates a seamless experience across different types of audits, ensuring a consistent feel between SOX and Operational audits. This not only enhances the effectiveness of documentation but also saves a considerable amount of time for my team. Additionally, I appreciate the system's ability to track edits efficiently, which is crucial for maintaining restricted control over our documentation. I value knowing exactly who made changes and when, as it supports our control needs. The integration with Excel and Word through AuditBoard sync further boosts our productivity by allowing seamless operations with these essential tools. Overall, the transition from our previous method, especially for operational audits, greatly adds value by improving our documentation and review processes, which previously lacked a systematic approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optro?

Within the SOX hub, when looking at the archive from a previous year, I find it challenging that the workstream requests (PBC requests) linked to each control do not show up. This necessitates going into the workstream to see old ones, which complicates the retrieval process of past audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yoselyn Rea of Optro

Thank you for sharing your experience with AuditBoard, Maddie! We're thrilled to hear that you found the implementation process simple and that our support team was able to assist you in customizing the site to meet your needs. We're also glad to hear that the training videos helped you easily learn how to use AuditBoard's features. We’re actively working on new features, and your feedback will help inform those!
