Ideagen Policy Logic vs. SAP Process Control

Ideagen CompliSpace is great for keeping track of regular updates and reports with set repeating tasks for each user and team to keep up with. Where it falls short is the lack of feedback from the user to admin where external programs or solutions need to be used to keep the scope of tasks updated or changed.

In my opinion, SAP Process Control is well suited for bigger companies with an already mature Internal Control System as well as for bigger companies who want to completely new/redesign the internal control system. The size of the company, as well as the budget, is quite important when thinking about the implementation of SAP Process Control. A smaller company with e.g., 150 people should think more about implementing SAP FCM.

• It is missing agency from the user's point of view
• It could use more feedback from the user in tasks
• It can add easier ways to contact support when there are issues

• Default delivery of controls could be done by SAP on some basic controls like client openings, password controls, etc
• The messaging or customization of messages in different workflows is limited, which could be introduced to enhance the product
• SAP Process control does not have the capability for cloud product monitoring which is required with more SAP cloud products available right now

I think there are still some rooms for improvement and updates to it but there are not any obvious or painful shortcomings that cause a disruption to regular workflow from what I've used it for.

The connectivity with other SAP products out of the SAP GRC suite, like Access Control and so on, was key for the decision. Also we had an already mature SAP System landscape as well as having internal processes that were similar to the SAP Process Control standard processes helped us with the decision to implement SAP Process Control.

• Ideagen CompliSpace has had an overall improvement to business performance with it's automated templates for tasks and procedures needed for reporting on a regular basis

• Automated alerts for controls issues
• Workflow capabilities; however, there's natively only 2 levels of review. More layers would be beneficial.
