What do you like best about Venminder?

The platform is robust and intuitive, and the company constantly makes improvements, expansions, and new modules. The website's functionality is easy to grasp for all our employees, who span a wide range of technological prowess. But they can each: look at their list of vendors and products; navigate to the appropriate pages; edit information fields there; upload contracts and documents and edit the details of those; perform risk assessments for every product; and manage upcoming deadlines and due dates. Currently, we are working to encourage our organization to use the task lists in a more robust and frequent way, and to reliably utilize the relatively new Onboarding module. Venminder's team members--particularly our two account reps--have been tremendously knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive throughout our several years on the platform, always advising us on how we might come to utilize it even more effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

With some frequency, the customer service chat will have to research a fairly basic question about a feature or capability for hours or days before responding. But, on the whole, this is a minor complaint, and we are highly pleased with the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using Venminder has radically reshaped our vendor management program for the better. Thanks to the platform, our approach to vendor management is far more cohesive, centralized, and safe than the manually tracked and executed process which we had utilized before. We can track completion and results in a clear and quantifiable way through a variety of pages and generated reports built into the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

Venminder continues adding new features that make the workflow easier to use and follow. It's very easy to maintain review periods of vendors and track oversight requirements in a structured fashion. Everything is housed within this online platform, contracts, MSA, SOWs, COI, SOC, BCP, Information Security policies, etc. Everything you need is under the vendor at any time once you've uploaded it. A place like Venminder to store all documentation is perfect when an audit firm requests information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

The manipulation of oversight requirements/tasks sometimes gets a little bogged down. I want to be able to change future dated oversight tasks from in progress to not due. This only happens when clicked into and saved, but it causes the scheduled tasks to show incorrectly when it's actually set for a year out from now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Venminder continues to improve its workflow and help the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

The depth of review and services that they provide in reviewing not all vendors is exceptional. Our account representative keeps in regular contact and provides helpful guidance on appropriate action steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

Due to not accessing it regularly, I have to refamiliarize myself with the website. It is not that difficult, just a process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Due diligence is very important to our business structure and our Board of Directors, and the organization and depth of reviews for our Critical Vendors is essential to help us identify strengths and weaknesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

I like the ability to store contracts and key vendor details. I also like the ability for the vendor owners and other SMEs to review docs and work together to complete reviews. It is nice having everything in once place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

I would really like a more intuitive workflow (the website is very easy), but the workflow for initial and annual due diligence can seem clunky for a smaller institution. I also wish there was a notes section that you could make notes about the vendor/product to allow us in the TPRM to take notes on what they will do and how it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Contract notifications going directly to our vendor leads and no longer managing in an excel document that can be missed has been helpful as it saves time and ensures there are no mishaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venminder?

Automated processes are easy to use once everything is set up. Ability to create color-coded reports so that other, non-Vendor Management, team members can follow along is a life-saver. All this pales in comparison to the representatives we get to work with. For once, I do not dread reaching out for help because when I do 1) my problems are solved, 2) explained, and 3) and followed-up on within the month just to ensure I have no other issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

Like many risk solutions, you must buy "optional" modules to get the full benefit. I would say the base product/platform is lackluster until you have purchased all the modules necessary (once you purchase one, you will notice that you need another in order to fully utilize the service). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Automation, reporting, and assistance with due diligence reviews. The automation and reporting speak for themselves. While pricey, the due diligence reviews are so well done that I rarely have to deep-dive to explain a product/service to the team. I can just take the "Assessment," as is, for the majority of my vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Venminder is very customizable. Their customer support is amazing. The system can be built to work with your program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you use the risk assessment, you cannot change the risk rating unless you do the risk assessment manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows us easy reporting access for our regulators. Ability to schedule and use oversight management to ensure reviews are completed within the program's time frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Everything is all in one place. There are also learning materials available to use. Emails notifications are sent so vendor management tasks and deadlines do not fall between the cracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venminder?

Some navigation can be a pain. For example, you cannot become a collaborator for a vendor without a bit of back-tracking. dditionally, many of the modules come at an additional cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping track of contracts and notification deadlines in the platform is very helpful. Keeping track of important dates while having other job duties would be extremely difficult without the help of Venmider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
