What do you like best about Venminder?

Venminder support is amazing and always willing to help. We have a dedicated account manager who listens to our needs and pulls in others as she sees fit. I am in this tool every day and it has streamlined our vendor management processes. It has also enabled us to be more strategic about our vendor management processes and not focus on the 'little things' which Venminder takes care of for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

There are a few limitations around specific usability features that we miss. There is a bit of a lack of customization in some areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Venminder has helped us streamline our vendor management process and has enabled us to stand up a third party risk management program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

I like being able to see a compact list of contract status/vendor products etc all in one place in the homepage. It makes tracking them easier, especially at my firm where a lof of the product managers don't have the capacity to dedicate much time or attention into contract emails. Venminder itself is a pretty straight forward tool to use and like the ease of adjusting contracts, adding vendors and products, and running reports.

Another aspect of Venminder that is really great is our account manager, Daniel Knigge. He has always been very communicative, quick to respond, and checks in with us often to see if there is anything we are needing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

One thing that I really disliked last year when doing our annual due diligence was the amount of time and manual effort it took to send questionnaires individually and set up a schedule. It seems that changes have been made on the Venminder platform to better support this, and am looking forward to seeing how it has been improved.

Another thing I think could be improved is the accuracy of contract processing by the Venminder team. There was a period of time last year where we heavily relied on Venminder to input contract details, and now I dont think it's worth it becuase of how much it had to be checked and readjusted.

One last thing is that I wish there was a way to view documents/contracts that you've updloaded without having to download them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Previously, we were using a couple different platforms to track vendor information, and this has consolidated everything in one place where we can easily track things like contract status and contact information. It has also solved the issue of a proper vendor due diligence by being able to send out questionnaires to our vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy to navigate and full vendor vetting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

The only thing I would say that could help more is when a questionnaire is sent being able to see the question the vendor has answer if the questionnaire is not completed. Live view of the questionnaire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Venminder is our vendor management, which we use to send our vetting questionnaire and save our agreement. Store all our due diligence reviews. Monitor our high vendors and collect documents needed for vetting high-risk vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
