What do you like best about ZenGRC?

ZenGRC is easy to onboard and navigate. I was able to figure out how the tools works by going through the training videos and wiki articles. Also, the customer support team is excellent and super helpful. Eric, our current Customer Success Manager, is super responsive and always there to answer my questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

I think the dashboard can be improved with more reporting options. Right now, we have to create custom reports in another tool given the limited options in ZenGRC. Additionally, mapping is a bit time consuming and I hope there is an easier way to do bulk updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GRC is a good tool for small to medium-sized organizations. We use it to manage all our audits and other compliance-related assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZenGRC?

The layout of ZenGRC is easy to navigate and to see where you stand status wise with tasks and requests. You can easily pinpoint areas that need more focus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

Trying to explain to our team the difference between the Tasks and the Audit Requests is a tiny bit confusing. But once I explain the difference, they are able to navigate their To Do items better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ZenGRC:

If you want a program to help you organize your controls environment and allow more visibility into the status of the controls, I recommend ZenGRC. It has helped us make our processes more streamlined and the evidence gathering process much faster and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are seeing areas or controls that users may be struggling with completing. We are also able to see how our controls are mapped to ISO easily and mapped to each other and our internal policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZenGRC?

That everything can be connected in one way or another if needed. It's pretty easy to navigate with multiple ways to view something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

It is very easy to go down the wrong road and double work yourself. Once you understand how to use everything and how everything is already set, it is much easier to make changes.

Multiple people kept trying to redo the controls needed for an audit while trying to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ZenGRC:

I stongly recommend having help with the initial setup. It is easy to mess things up when you first start and are not completely familiar with everything. With one session, I was able to set up everything else without making it harder on myself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to prep for audits using ZenGRC. This also gives us history of what was used and sufficient in previous audits.

We are also looking into using it for Vendor Management and sending Questionnaires to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZenGRC?

Full featured solution with lots of customization ability. UI is intuitive and flexible. Onboarding team has been excellent - we had an audit coming up two weeks from the time we purchased, so had to get everything up and ready to support the audit and were able to successfully do so. It took a lot of work on the backend from our implementation manager who was also helping to train us on how best to use the solution. While rushed on our end, this was a smooth and ultimately successful process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

While we have been happy with the support team, one of our requests has required engineering efforts to resolve an issue that was one of the key features for us in the tool and it has not been resolved in 2+ weeks. We definitely understand that any effort involving engineering teams may take some extra time, but it has been a bit of a hindrance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest instant problem that ZenGRC solved for us was easing the evidence collection for a SOC 2 audit. This has typically been a rather involved and time consuming process for us, but with ZenGRC, I am able to assign the evidence requests directly to the control owner, allow them to submit their own evidence, I review and send it on to our external auditors.

Additionally, we didn't have the best solution for tracking enterprise risks, which Zen handles well. It also allows us to catalogue our controls and map them against the risks to help us better visualize and document our residual risk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZenGRC?

The system's tools are flexible and comprehensive, and the support has been very helpful in getting us started with a GRC platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

The system structure, while it makes sense, can be confusing as you continue to dive deeper into a record. Russian nesting dolls are how I would classify it. It can be easy to get lost as to where you are in the record until you learn to navigate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a GRC platform to help us get away from manually managing our policies and documentation. This system is going to accelerate our ISO 270001 submission significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZenGRC?

The ability for it to workflow requests to various users and system response times. Ability to set custom attributes as an admin for my needs. Logs changes and replaces the need for manual recordkeeping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

Customization of end-user experience is minimal. Some settings are instance-wide and can't be set to a specific object. For example, unable to customize when I send out notifications to end-users and the ability to customize or modify the end-user experience. E.g., on the requests screen, the end-user only sees specific fields, and I can't add further context through additional fields/ attributes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Saving manual interactions with the business through the use of the tool. Now maintaining an audit log of changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

I do not like the relationship between Jira and ZenGRC. They do not work well together. There are many limitations, and I cannot use all the functionality of ZenGRC that it has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am able to easily keep track of requirements and evidence collected for our assesor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are happy with the affordability and customizable nature of ZenGRC when it comes to testing SOX controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZenGRC?

While we can tailor the product to support our SOX testing needs, there are some aspects of the tool that seem better suited for other applications than how we are currently using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had multiple platforms and have consolidated all to ZenGRC, which has dramatically increased our reporting capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
