Ideagen Internal Audit (formerly known as Pentana Audit) is a SaaS or on-premise platform that gives users oversight and control of internal audit activity. It is used to limit a company’s exposure to risk, and to provide assurance through a complete audit management workflow.
CDK Drive is great at connecting all the team members in service/parts. We used to have a foreman who had to dispatch work to each technician, which is now done through CDK Drive. Technicians can get help with part requirements/needs through CDK. Before, each technician had to go back to the parts department and wait. CDK Drive is good at offering an option to record and send a video of what was found on a service diagnosis, this helps with transparency and trust.
Diligent Community is well suited for entities in the public sector who need to comply with the Brown Act. Diligent One Platform is not well suitable for those who are not tech savvy. Board members who are older and do not use the Diligent One Platform frequently, are not comfortable using some of the functionality - such as voting - so it still needs to be done on the back-end.
Easy to use and can be customized at certain level[s] based on the organizational requirements. Availability of customized report[s] and metadata to be included in the report generation. Comprehensive risk assessment module and questionnaire tracking for the audit feedback. Centralized directory to store the data and share across the audit department or with specific auditor.
Enhance business compliance by maintaining records and documents for all our processes and reports, which allows us to not worry about training new people in case resources are transferred.
We integrated risk assessment tools and business continuity plans, which allowed proactive identification and mitigation of potential business risks.
It helped to secure communication channels with confidential discussions and document sharing among team members and leadership.
I give it a 7. It has had a significant impact on the GRC department in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. At the start it took some time to tailor it to our unique business needs and to set up all our requirements. I would say the superpower of the tool is really here, in terms of time saving in report prep and manual testing. We have really used the control self assessment ability to have a strong impact on the business which helped to improve the internal control culture across the business. The dashboarding abilities had limitations for us and we created our own internal dashboards more suited to our operational needs. There is a steep learning curve for the admin roles who manage the system but I assume this will be the case for most of these types of systems. On the opposite side the end user usability is very good and easy to grasp.
Great job by everyone from the initial sales staff to the implementation team to the support staff. Always ready, willing and able to help out with any questions or issues that arise, even those from people who are simply not computer savvy and have had a hard time transitioning to a new product for everyday use.
HighBond by Galvanize support has some of the best and fastest support that I have experienced. Though we only contact them through emails, they were quick to provide insightful information about our problems. Whenever we email them about an issue, they would be able to reply in less than an hour, ready and prepared with useful solutions to address the issue.
Pentana Audit team is very much supporting and have centralized ticketing system with trail of correspondence for the resolution of the issue. Follow-up emails, WebEx session to understand the real issue and provide the appropriate solution timely.
We’re pretty satisfied with the implementation offering and the reading experiences provided. With our quarterly audits, this tool has made the task much more accessible. The outcome of version control of documents is easy to accomplish, and gathering all the records in one place makes it more accessible.
CDK Drive is way better, but from my experience, the integration process was very long and very painful and we feel CDK Drive could've made that less painful and less lengthy. Once it is working the way it should, I am sure that we will love it. Right now though, every time something else goes wrong, it builds on the frustration of the other 50 things that went wrong prior.
I'm excited about diligent due to the fact that they provide many tools to support compliance through use of analytics and testing processes. We also use FloQast, for which I'm an advocate for, however I'm not sure they have expanded yet to support analytics and testing. I don't have any further experience with other products
Positive, in that CDK Drive is helping us accomplish objectives that our auto group is presenting for our dealerships to improve/work on as a service dept.
Positive in that it keeps up with modern technology and customer expectations in these times with new offerings in communication, recordings, etc.
Positive in that it has a response to each requirement that the auto manufacturer comes to us with. OEM starts requiring a new process/offer, and CDK has a way for us to fulfill that.
A lot of time and efficiency has been saved for my team as we continue to find different ways to automate tests, continuous monitoring projects, etc. We have been able to shift our focus on enhancement projects that previously had been on the back burner until we had switched to the Diligent One Platform.
