What do you like best about Venminder?

I've used Venminder at multiple financial institutions, and every working day, and it's only improved over the years. The Control Assessments are a great help for a lean TPRM function and take some of the load off. Each CSM I've had has been abundently helpful and quick to help any time it's needed. The interface is easy to use and move through and implementation is a breeze, with Venminder being more than willing to schedule a call anytime it's needed. Outside of you CSM, the customer service chat function within the system is incredibly helpful if you have an immediate need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

I have very few complaints with the system, and Venminder is always open to suggestions and often implements user suggestions! That said, it would be nice to have a bit more role-based access, and until recently, I would have also said that the contract module could use a bit of work as there was no way to identify parent-child contracts, but they've recently made updates to the system that do allow for that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Venminder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Venminder Control Assessments have helped us conduct more concise reviews that allow our SMEs to have the time freed up for other tasks while still fulfilling the need to ensure safe and sound third party relationships. It's also helped us deliver better board reporting as we have the Venminder reviews to lean on for that reporting. Venminder has also helped us with continuous monitoring as we utilize Argos within the system - which helps us keep a better eye on our critical relationships when we are a lean function that may not always have the time to research our critical vendors outside of annual reporting.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Venminder?

Venminder has completely revolutionized our approach to business operations. Gone are the days of being caught off guard by surprise auto-renewals. The software's user-friendly interface and intuitive design have made managing our contracts, payment information, invoices, and receipts a seamless and efficient process. Now, all these vital documents are consolidated in one easily accessible location, eliminating the need to sift through numerous online folders or search through multiple emails to locate the information we need.

The vendor lifecycle feature has been extremely useful, especially for managing vendor performance issues. Sending out questionnaires and RFPs to our vendors is effortless. The document library enables everyone in our organization to access the most up-to-date templates for contracts and agreements. The risk assessment tools help us quickly identify and address potential issues. Automated reminders ensure that we never miss important deadlines. Venminder's customer support is responsive and helpful. Overall, Venminder is excellent and has significantly streamlined our vendor management process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

Jennifer Benjamin. Jennifer is exceptional in her role as a Senior Customer Success Manager. She is always prompt in her responses to my inquiries and suggestions for improvement. No issue has gone unresolved, no question unanswered and I always feel better equiped to navigate venminder post communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

I would hope to improve Reporting, communications out of venminder for SME's specifically during diligence events so that we cah track the conversations and send updates to stakeholders without navigating to email. I would also be interested in what intergrations and auto-population features we could include so that our business users can update a record once and it be reflected in venminder and potentially their individual dashboards.

For initial diligence I would like to have an API functionality directly to the assessment that sets the inherent risk or have a public link available to post on our internal site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Venminder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Venminder has allowed us to streamline our diligence process and offer a one stop shop for third-party related information. They have also made it easier to run our diligence campaigns and maintiaing the records received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing about using Venminder is all of your 3rd party information is in ONE location, you can track their basic information, invoicing, contracts, questionnaires, and risk assessments all in ONE place!!

The tool is very easy to use, the implementation and support teams are FANTASTIC! I love the Single-Sign-On and that it was easy to integrate with Black Kite, our 3rd party riks monitoring tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

With Venminder, we were able to create a Risk Assessment questionnaire that any staff person can perform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

The Risk Assessment questionnaire needs to be completed in one session. If continued on a 2nd day, the questionnaire freezes and staff is unable to continue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Venminder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Venminder helps me to organize and complete the required due diligence on the critical vendors. We are able to involve several staff by assigning product ownership to them and requiring that they complete the Risk Assessment for each of their respective products and services.

Venminder helps me to schedule required due diligence for the critical vendors and to email the respective product/service owners on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

In the past, we were using very manual methods of documenting contract information and evaluating third party risk. We explored many solutions and choose Venminder because of their customer service and implementation ease. We have been very impressed with the solution and really like how the initial contract information is entered by the Venminder team.

Customer support and the implementation team were wonderful. We also use the questionnaire and risk assessments for all vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

The biggest complaint is the lack of customization. There are some but many features lack the flexibility to fully customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

Venminder provides an easy-to-use centralized repository for vendor information, risk assessments, due diligence, and contracts and renewal dates and reminderds, which makes it easier to manage vendor relationships. They also provide valuable support and expert guidance to our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

We are not taking advantage of the outsourced managed services due to the additional cost, so we still have to do the risk assessments, oversight, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Venminder solving and how is that benefiting you?

Venminder allows us to keep all of our vendor information in a centralized place that department heads/product managers can access to help with the risk assessments and due diligence/oversight. They also send reminders before contracts renew, so that we can review and renegotiate vs. just letting the contract roll. They also provide expert guidance on vendor management, which we find valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform tends to have a one-size-fits-all approach, which can be restrictive for organizations with unique or highly specific needs.
