Docket.io vs. Ideagen Risk Management

Great for companies that are sitting on disparate source systems being used by multiple different teams and business units with no plans of consolidation. The founders love to hear about the problems faced by most B2B SaaS companies and build solutions to key problems. So if you want to collaborate, they are a great vendor to work with

Pentana is great for monitoring PIs and risks. We find it less helpful for monitoring projects (with the Actions module); it isn't quite flexible enough for our needs, though the support team have been very helpful in adding custom fields for us.

• Pulling answers from old slack channels
• navigating our document center
• providing talk tracks around competition

• Pentana is excellent for monitoring, recording and reporting on PIs. Very easy to use the PI module.
• Pentana is excellent for monitoring risks at various levels (service, strategic etc.). Risks are displayed very clearly in a tree structure and the module is relatively easy to use.

• Docket.io doesn't always have the correct answer
• Docket.io can misinterpret questions
• Docket.io doesn't have industry knowledge like an AI Chatbot does

• Pentana could improve the free Documents module that comes with Pentana Risk. At the moment documents have to be linked to an action in order to display query results (such as how many documents are due for review) - this can be confusing for users who don't understand why there is an action linked. There is also no easy way for users to see the documents that are assigned to them.
• We would like to use the Actions module fully in order to monitor our corporate projects, but it a bit confusing for users and not very flexible when a project doesn't mirror Pentana's way of monitoring actions.

High usability and intelligent platform. Anyone with basic understanding of querying the platform can use the solution. For Admins as well, running reports is easy (but can be improved)

Some modules are more user-friendly than others. It's sometimes not obvious where to click to update the fields (or even that field titles can be clicked on). We have written 'Howdys' to help users. There can also seem to be a lot of steps/clicks to updating risks and actions. The Reports module on Pentana classic is certainly not user-friendly, particularly the Report Layout and Charts modules - we were told these would be integrated into the web version but this hasn't happened yet.

The support team are excellent and always answer queries promptly. They are very helpful.

I wasn't able to dive as deeply into Glean because we didn't set it up fully but I got to play around and see a bunch of different trials of it, I would say that Glean is the more robust of the two tools but for what we needed Docket.io did the job

We selected Pentana because our neighbouring authorities are users and had spoken highly of the product and given us demonstrations; some of our staff were also familiar with Pentana when it was called Covalent. It seemed to be the best product on the market for monitoring risks, PIs and projects.

• 12% increase in self-paced learning of new hires in GTM teams
• 22% reduction in SME time spent in answering questions
• 64% reduction in adhoc queries/questions asked to the SMEs by GTM teams

• Pentana Risk has allowed my team to focus on other areas of work whereas before we would be manually chasing for updates on PIs and risk. Pentana Risk does the chasing for us!
• We are able to produce reports for audit purposes very easily, rather than sending spreadsheets which is what we used to do.
• New managers can easily inherit risks, projects and PIs and see all of this on a custom portal, saving them time when they start.
