### "Excellent customer service, frequent and useful updates, easy to use."

June 14, 2018

5.0

Helped with policies, procedures, and monitoring. Helped get thru many exams.

Pros

Ease of use is a big factor. The software upgrades have been very useful. And with each upgrade, they issue detailed instructions on how the upgrade works and what steps to implement the upgrade. I also greatly appreciate the webinars. They are very responsive to the users.

Cons

Not really much that I can think of. We use all modules in the software. I have even had examiners brag on the software, which never happens.

### "Tandem Review "

March 31, 2022

5.0

We’ve used Tandem for the last 3+ years and it has simplified our processes and allowed us to be more effective in managing our programs.

Pros

The software is easy to use, makes managing components of Info security way and reports for auditors and board are effective.

Cons

There are some reporting feature enhancements that would be helpful, but I appreciate that Tandem welcomes enhancement recommendations.

### "Software from a bank we acquired"

September 12, 2017

3.0

Very little compared to the main software we use. It is cheaper in grand scheme things but not what a large bank would need for Vendor Management.

Pros

The ease of use, and the unlimited amount of entries into the respository that an user can upload into their database. Cost also

Cons

Very limited on reporting as well as not a thorough Risk Analysis dynamic To mean, just an online document holding bin.

### "Necessary tools for information security compliance at an affordable price"

June 20, 2023

5.0

I've been using various modules of the software for many years and am pleased with the depth and capabilities of the product. Examiner and auditors have also been pleased with the output.

Pros

The tool is completely web based and accessible from anywhere.

Cons

Some of the modules such as Risk Assessments can get pretty complex making them time consuming to setup and review.

### "Tandem has moved our organization forward."

November 15, 2022

5.0

Pros

The Tandem product modules are powerful without being overengineered. The modules share a common database where policies are linked to vendors, information assets, risk assessments, incidents, and audits. The ease-of-use has empowered more people in more departments to participate in vendor management, contract reviews, risk assessments, and continuity planning.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about the Tandem products. I'll be the first to purchase a change management module if/when they build it into their ecosystem.

### "The need for Tandem"

November 18, 2022

5.0

We have been using the Tandem products for over twelve years and have come to depend on it to provide the information we need for examinations. Any questions or concerns are answered immediately and the people are always friendly and willing to help. We don't have to worry about knowing if our information is addressing any of the new regulatory guidelines because Tandem stays on top of the releases and applies them to the program.

Pros

The feature I like most about Tandem is the ease of use and versatility followed close by the fact that you don't have to worry about whether your documents are up-to-date with the latest regulatory releases.

Cons

Because Tandem incorporates so many aspects of the organization it requires quite a bit of time to initially enter the information into the program and to maintain the information as your organization changes.

### "Tandem is a great value for features delivered."

March 31, 2022

5.0

Great company to have as a partner.

Pros

Tandem is kept current with changing regs and best practices. The support team is responsive and pays attention to customer suggestions, often integrating them in to future versions. The integration across modules is a big time saver and keeps resulting reports coordinated across the system.

Cons

As an early user of the system, there were a few things that would have made initial setup easier. I made suggestions and all were added into future versions.

### "This is my second experience with Tandem software. Tandem has come a long way. I love it."

June 14, 2018

5.0

Reduced time to manage audits and track mitigation tasks. One virtual location to store documentation such as audit, risk and compliance docs.

Pros

The return on investment is high. It saves time and provides a central location to store our documentation for management and audit review. The dashboards provide information for the Board and various committees on status of our audit, risk and compliance efforts.

Cons

I can't say I dislike anything, however I can see where several additional apps would be nice. An Incident handling app that interfaces with the BCP app would be nice.

It has been a great experience

### "Great product, its been critical in our GLBA compliance efforts"

June 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

Flexibility. Can be used with little effort for beginners, but also allows for full customization for advanced program administrators.

Cons

Just a couple places where some additional logic would make sense. For example, having to manually remove a control when I've told the system in a questionnaire that I don't have that control.

May 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

Nos ha ayudado a llenar los vacíos con respecto a nuestra seguridad y las evaluaciones de riesgo. Fue de gran ayuda para nuestros procesos de comercio en línea. Facilitó también la presentación de informes a nuestro directorio.

Cons

Al principio su uso no fue muy sencillo, pero creo que su curva de aprendizaje es el que se podría esperar de un software de su tipo.

Great company, great people

### "Tandem is a great value and covers all the bases if you educate yourself on the software."

June 14, 2018

5.0

All the benefits!

Pros

Very thoughrough coverage of what most regulators are looking for at a reasonable cost. Customer support actually listens to (and implements) suggestions and constructive criticism of the software.

Cons

Sometimes it can be difficult to find the exact section of information you are looking for if you don't use it often. That may not be the fault of the software, but of the overlapping nature of different types of data and regulations.

5.0

Pros

Tandem is super easy to use and have a very responsive support team. I love that we can suggest new features.

I think the reporting feature could be improved, just on how many report would could pull or create our own reports

### "Generally Tandem offers all of the services I am looking for in the various aspects of security."

June 18, 2018

4.0

Really keeps the business organized where all employees can easily find information in one centralized location.

Pros

The ease of use and availability of materials no matter of where I am physically located. For Disaster Recovery and BCP, its very important to have quick and easy access to all information.

Cons

Some of the areas could improve the depth of the material. The Phishing module is one area where improvement is needed. It works decent, but could be enhanced for scenarios to be more real world.

### "Exceptional and easy to use Information Security platform that is delivered at an affordable price"

June 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like the integration between the modules that provides you with a comprehensive snapshot of what the examiners are concerned about the most.

Cons

They desperately need an onboarding component into vendor management platform. Onboarding component would allow you to evaluate various vendors for purchase, and then route for management approval before being added as a "company vendor" to vendor management module.

April 6, 2023

5.0

Very easy to manage and see what is left outstanding, what each person is responsible for

Pros

Automation and ease of use. Customizable and the reports are very useful.

Cons

Drag and drop option for loading documents into Tandem without individually opening each request item would be helpful.

June 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software is very comprehensive and modules are interfaced as a cross reference. In addition our auditors and regulators love it!

Cons

Not one thing ... this is one of the best software investments I have made. Our board is always very impressed with the reports and information we can provide to them.

Pros

This software provided our bank the ability to handle this process and pass our regulatory exams.

Cons

It takes time to understand the logic pattern…may not always be easy for “non tech” employees.

### "The pillar of my CMS"

December 6, 2023

5.0

We started with compliance and have bought every applicable module since then. Very solid foundation for us.

Pros

I was using this product's free version more than 10 years ago, and the paid version is even better and such a value. I like that I can establish the framework of my CMS in a manner that allows me to demonstrate what we "do" before any regulatory changes come our way.

Cons

The policy management module is created for IT - wish it would encompass more functionality so we could manage all of our policies.

Reason for choosing Tandem Software

because I got to use it for free first, and then the price was so reasonable.

### "Tandem is simply the Best of Breed Information Security Risk management software."

June 14, 2018

5.0

Pros

We utilize most of the Tandem software modules. All modules are very feature rich, yet very similar user interface makes learning new features or modules seamless. Very active user community with most new feature requested implemented for all to utilize. Support is nothing less than EXCEPTIONAL. The rare cases i have needed support, they are always quick to respond, very thorough and quick to resolution. Although i have only been to two KEYS conferences (as of yet), they are very beneficial and always learn new ways to utilize the software. Our CRM's have always been great as well. They check in regularly to make sure all is going good and anything needed. I would recommend CoNetrix to anyone looking for Enterprise class Risk Management platform.

Cons

The only modules that did not fit our needs was the initial Phishing and Training modules. They are well developed products, but we felt they needed some time to mature. We will revisit them again in the future.

### "Exceptional Product and Customer Service"

April 5, 2023

5.0

We use many of the modules such as BCP, Vendor Management and Risk Assessment. It’s so great t be able to connect the three piece.

Pros

The modules are easy to use and intuitive. The knowledge base is great and the customer service is fantastic. Many of the suggestions for enhancements by client get implemented which makes you realize the vendor is listening to their clients.

Cons

Nothing specific comes to mind. Enhancements were made that fixed the issues I had.

Reason for choosing Tandem Software

The price is very reasonable and the ability to connect several modules is super valuable.

If you take the time to watch the training videos it’s great!

Pros

All we need for our Information Security Program in one product

Cons

If there was a feature to download all modules into the annual report to the board.

Price and support
