We've gone through implementations with excellent support as well as the ongoing support. Pros The support is top-notch. We work closely with our Customer Success Manager to meet our strategic goals. Cons Permissions are a bit of a beast. We have several groups coordinating permissions and it's not always easy but AuditBoard provides excellent support.

GRC Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Auditboard's CrossComply and ITRM Modules Elevate Compliance Programs" September 24, 2025 4.0 We have implemented Auditboard CrossComply and ITRM modules to manage our large compliance program. It has provided efficiency and process improvements across the board, reutilizing evidence artifacts, automating evidence collection, and providing a great UX for stakeholders. Pros Easy to use, help to managed over 40 certifications a year adding a risk management approach to our compliance program. The Auditboard team is always willing to support and hear new ideas and pain points. Cons \- Limitations to integrate with On-Prem software - My Dashboard is not design for large compliance programs Alternatives considered [Anedot](https://www.capterra.com/p/145120/Anedot/) Reason for choosing AuditBoard For the usability, the workflow on the certification process and the maturity of Auditboard as a company. Switched from [ZenGRC](https://www.capterra.com/p/157713/ZenGRC/) ZenGRC was not supporting our large compliance program anymore. Review Source CB Carmela B. Data Business Analyst Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent tool to use for Auditing" February 14, 2025 3.0 I found it difficult to figure out because I did not have the proper training. Pros Audit Board seemed like it had lots of options Cons It was a pro that Audit board had a lot of interfaces, however we never really used a lot of them because we were not properly trained. Review Source DE Dave E. Sr. Manager Internal Audit Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AuditBoard - Best IA Tool" September 23, 2025 5.0 We've loved having AuditBoard as our GRC platform. Since moving to the platform, we've been able to simplify our testing and provide insight to the business. Pros The centralization of everything SOX. Having the ability to link all testing to narratives, and providing the business the ability to view and make changes, which systematically flow to control pages. Cons The requirement to have different modules in order to get the full potential out of the tool. All things SOX should be included in SOXUB module Switched from [Wdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/106817/Wdesk/) We found WDesk to not be user friendly. New employees struggled with using the tool Review Source CW Chris W. Sr. Manager, Internal Audit Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid Today, Unbelievable Future Potential" September 23, 2025 5.0 Pros The desire to be a connected risk platform, not just accommodate a single use case as an information repository. Cons Still a few kinks in the user experience, best features only available for premium plan subscribers. Alternatives considered [TeamMate Audit](https://www.capterra.com/p/143239/TeamMate-Audit-Management/) Reason for choosing AuditBoard Unknown- there were a couple of different options considered. Switched from [TeamMate Audit](https://www.capterra.com/p/143239/TeamMate-Audit-Management/) this was a business decision made by the previous CAE Review Source SM Sam M. Manager, Internal Controls Medical Devices Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SOX PMO review of AuditBoard" September 23, 2025 5.0 Overall good experience. We used to have a direct customer service manager and bummed we don't have that anymore and only a general mailbox but overall great tool for SOX work to be done in and managed. Pros Ease of use for not only SOX team but also control owners and reviewers. I also love the workstream functionality so we can put as much into AB vs. email requests as possible. Cons I wish the annotate feature and the risk assessment functionality was better. Annotate doesn't allow for excel files to be annotated unless you do PDF conversion which is not ideal. Also, the risk assessment isn't super easy to use and manager. Switched from [Wdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/106817/Wdesk/) Bad experience with them and know AB is better Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Auditor Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Experience w/AuditBoard" September 22, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with AuditBoard has been positive as it has streamlined our audit management through a centralized platform allowing for improved collaboration. Pros I like that AuditBoard provides a centralized system, making it easy to manage audits, track issues, and access documentation all in one place for better efficiency and collaboration. Cons Given that there are many futures and customization options, it does feel difficult at times trying to navigate through the settings and figuring out what you are actually looking for. Alternatives considered [Wdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/106817/Wdesk/)[LogicGate Risk Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/148648/LogicGate/) Reason for choosing AuditBoard Overall there were more modules that AB offered that allowed for centralization Review Source CJ Chris J. Risk Analysis Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Auditboard review" October 23, 2024 4.0 I was the primary user and System Admin for AuditBoard for 2 years. I used the Risk Register the most. I used it everyday for at least 2 hours a day. Pros I liked that it was a very comprehensive GRC tool that allows you to manage most GRC items. It is also very customizable. You can adapt it to most processes even though the company's processes are not in line with industry standards. AuditBoard does have nice customizable graphs too. Cons It is a very complex platform. It lacks automation for artifacts. You should be able to like artifacts across the board, from controls to Risk Register items and Audits Switched from [Hyperproof](https://www.capterra.com/p/202536/Hyperproof/) Hyperproof offers automation for artifacts and you can link them across the board. Review Source AT Anthony T. Assistant Audit Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AuditBoard OpsAudit 2 years in" October 24, 2024 5.0 Tremendous opportunities to innovate our audit program and the flexibility to adjust as needed. Pros The ability to connect multiple departments/disciplines in a single platform and share meaningful data and insights. Cons Complexity of building dashboards but that may be a result of our implementation. Alternatives considered [Wdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/106817/Wdesk/) Reason for choosing AuditBoard The cross platform collaboration capabilities. Switched from [Microsoft Teams](https://www.capterra.com/p/168668/Microsoft-Teams/) We needed to modernize our product and considered the ability to work across different departments in our organization. Review Source MP Melissa P. Sr. IT Audit Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AuditBoard is a Must for Modern Organizations Managing Risk" October 24, 2024 5.0 AuditBoard is innovating the audit, risk, and compliance space using their extensive knowledge as practitioners in this area to provide seamless solutions to organizations and their teams. The platform allows for teams to work collaboratively rather than in a siloed function. It aids in transparency and enhanced communication across teams. Additionally, it aids audit and GRC teams when working with first line operations as well as Executives and Board of Directors in presenting unified messaging in relation to risks. Pros The platform is highly intuitive and provides a seamless experience in understanding a connected risk universe. Cons The platform is setup with individual modules so to get increased value you each module is purchased separately. Alternatives considered [Wdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/106817/Wdesk/) Reason for choosing AuditBoard Features available and future growth of the platform Switched from [HighQ](https://www.capterra.com/p/229898/HighQ-Dataroom/) We need a solution that was connected risk not solely focused on Audit Review Source JS Jayashree S. Senior Manager - Audit and Risk Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Senior Manager - Audit and Risk" October 24, 2024 5.0 Pros Ease of Use Intuitive UI Robust reporting Cons The tool is expensive making it hard to justify. Alternatives considered [Wdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/106817/Wdesk/) Reason for choosing AuditBoard Easy of Use and ready access to the data that is needed. Switched from [BWISE](https://www.capterra.com/p/10007043/BWISE/) Because the product was very outdated and hard to use Review Source BB Brandon B. Director Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Go for the best" October 24, 2024 5.0 Great, best software that I have used over my career. Pros Easy to use, stakeholders get the software. Its intuitive. Cons Sometimes have issues with data refreshing for dashboarding, but support is generally quick to resolve. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Internal Audit - SOX Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "General Review from SOX Manager" October 24, 2024 5.0 Pros Convenient workflows and PBC coordination to optimize testing efficiency. User experience is very straightforward. Cons There are areas of opportunity for increasing resource planning efficiencies versus visual import/exports. Seems like this is coming in 2025, though! Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Increase workflow efficiencies and better file management and risk/control mapping Review Source HW Hunter W. Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Auditboard Tool Review" October 23, 2024 4.0 Enjoyable to say the least, the product is much easier to use than alternatives. Pros The user experience and ability to navigate the tool is might easier than alternatives. Cons For our shop as we have grown it has been a bit of a struggle to make changes to our environment ourselves and have rather needed to work with AB support members more often than not. Switched from [RSA Archer Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/176996/RSA-Archer/) We made the switch on the internal audit side to align with our SOX counterparts. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Systems Engineer Defense & Space Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool!" October 23, 2024 5.0 A great onboarding experience and quick user adoption. Feature rollout is rapid and great. Pros The end user interface is easy to use and intuitive. Cons Some of the feature consistency is different across the different modules where it seems like it should be standard. Alternatives considered [Wdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/106817/Wdesk/) Reason for choosing AuditBoard The amount of features and integrations advertised were more in line with our needs. Switched from [RSA Archer Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/176996/RSA-Archer/) Archer was only investing in new flagship capabilities and was not ensuring the original platform and capabilities were improved upon. Review Source CS Christian S. Manager of Financial Assurance Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend" October 24, 2024 5.0 Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] and the people at AB is what makes it the best. Cons Price, the cost can be a major barrier and the continued breakout of products/services. The AI is still far away. Switched from [TeamMate Audit](https://www.capterra.com/p/143239/TeamMate-Audit-Management/) Better features from AuditBoard and the gold standard Review Source KS Karan S. Director, IT Internal Audit Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Modern day GRC platform" October 23, 2024 5.0 Pros Ease of use, innovation roadmap, customer service, agility Cons Need for more integrations and connectors to other systems Reason for choosing AuditBoard Ease of use, modern look and feel, ease of set up Review Source MG Matt G. SOX Compliance Manager Semiconductors Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Solid Foundational Product" September 23, 2025 5.0 Overall experience with AuditBoard has been very positive. Customer service has always been pretty good and responsive. I think they have done a great job at maintaining customer relationships after system implementations. Pros AuditBoard's SOXHUB module is really where the tool excels. It gives businesses the ability to easily monitor an always-changing risk & controls matrix. It is very straightforward and user-friendly for new users. Additionally, AuditBoard has demonstrated a continuous effort to innovate with new system features & functionality. This has been accomplished by listening closely to their customer's feedback. Cons While AuditBoard is fairly flexible, there are some limitations like its control hierarchy of Entity -> Process -> Subprocess. This only really only allows for a hierarchy that is most granular at the L2 to L3 process levels and you may not currently create more granular process levels than that. Also, I wish the SOX risk assessment feature was more robust and allowed for more streamlined mapping of control setup and chart of accounts. Currently, we still use Excel to do our scoping. Also, if you have multiple ERPs with various charts of accounts, this gets more complex and will take hard work to map everything out.

Worth the investment" September 17, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of use , things are well laid out and as long as you put some initial investment into the foundation of how things are laid out it will flow smoothly. Cons Initially it takes some time to onboard. You need to thoroughly think through how controls/processes should be organized Review Source MT Maddie T. Internal Auditor Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Customer Support" September 22, 2025 5.0 Pros The customer support was great and allowed us to build out our AuditBoard platform exactly how we needed. Cons AuditBoard Sync won't save if the session has timed out but won't give a warning that the file will not be saved to AuditBoard. Review Source OA Olusegun A. Cybersecurity Risk Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very useful platform" October 24, 2024 4.0 AuditBoard has definitely helped us improve our cybersecurity risk management practices, and we intend to use it a lot more to continue to improve. Pros I like that it has APIs that allow me to build automations that may not be natively available in the platform. These automations are becoming more and more important in our work. Cons 1\. The APIs are very poorly documented, and require too much "figuring out" and "guessing" 2. A lot of AuditBoard competitors seem to be moving in the direction of using integrations to collect information that addresses the requirements of compliance frameworks directly. It would be great for AuditBoard to check out that possibility, or evaluate the need among customers. Review Source BC Brianna C. IT Audit Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "10/10 AuditBoard" October 23, 2024 5.0 Overall experience has been great and we appreciate all the help form Customer support with questions. Pros I appreciate how AuditBoard is a one stop shop for SOX. We can request data and perform testing all within the site. We can utilize workstream to chat with owners and external auditors on evidence. A huge time saver. Cons It is time consuming to get to the point where it adds value and saves time for your audit department. I will say that this is the case for almost all new systems. Review Source YC Yude C. Director of Risk Lifecycle ERM Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "AuditBoard platform and team are fantastic" October 24, 2024 5.0 always love the engagement, customer success is very solution driven and product team loves to hear from us. I enjoy working with AuditBoard team and the platform brings incredible value to enable our business. Pros customer success engagement and product philosophy of centralized risk/audit data in one platform Cons out-of-box by design is good but adapting to customer's specific needs is a drawback, how to balance it is the key Review Source AB Andrea B. Security Compliance Analyst III Oil & Energy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for audit repository and user access reviews" October 23, 2024 5.0 10/10 with the product and customer service. Pros I like how easy it is to organize and maintain controls, test results, workpapers, and recall the evidence that was requested and submitted for each control. I also like how easy it is to create workflows for user access reviews. Cons I don't like that you cannot create sub workflows that are triggered based on the responses of the main workflow. Review Source CP Cecilia P. Technology Audit Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Technology audit manager" October 23, 2024 5.0 Really like AB products and it does save lots of time for our team to manage our workload/pbc/follow-up/managing multiple workstream Pros Pbc, issue, work stream management, and resource/workload overview Cons Sometimes navigating to the previous page it’s not too convenient (it always goes back to the main) Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
