Ideagen Risk Management vs. Onapsis

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.

Onapsis is divided into 4 major components,

1. Assess
2. Comply
3. Defend
4. Control

In assess, it does a whitebox and blackbox testing of the ERP systems that have been added to the Onapsis console. It highlights relevant application issues and automates the process, also provides the solutions to implement the fix. In comply, it provides a governance on the various regulatory compliances which the firm has to follow, as well as provides a firm grip to the audit and ERP admin team. In control, it enables a workflow of 15 pre-defined parameter values within the SAP system and helps monitor, and track the changes made to those parameters. The capabilities are to either block, or request for an approval for changes made to those parameters in addition to just monitoring them. In defend, it goes through the SAP logs; and compares it with a pre-defined ruleset to alert the end-users via email or SIEM tool or both.

• 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.

• Eliminating the manual process improves the overall accuracy of results and also frees up valuable resources to focus on other different projects.
• Onapsis provides great leverage to our technical teams in order to review in a standardized way of the landscape.
• Onapsis always matches vulnerabilities with useful context and finds possible solutions.
• Onapsis is usually implemented to continuously monitor, and alert us on any issues on the SAP systems. Not only this but implementing Onapsis also eliminates the network on the year-end and month-end audits and helps in making the overall process faster, smooth, efficient as well as accurate.

• 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.

• Multiple UIs
• No proper customization of UI log-off
• Tedious setup of Control component
• No proper error messages received

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.

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.

Honestly, I havent use something like Onapsis before and currently I am not aware if there is something similiar out there. They are one of a kind and is a complete suit, so is unlikelly that someone from outside will appear with a better solution.

• 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.

• It offers very reasonable packages.
• The customer support of Onapsis is reliable and efficient.
• It is a great platform as it shows a unified and easy-to-read different and complex topics in a simpler way.
