    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.

    Techstreet would be suitable for building companies, certification companies, testing laboratories, and manufacturers. With Techstreet, you can purchase current and previous versions of standards and manuals from different accreditation companies. This is quite helpful for businesses that need to stay up-to-date on industry standards and regulations.

    Pros
    Ideagen
    • 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.

    Cons
    Ideagen
    • 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.

    • Would be good to be able to share the standards with clients. But some of the standards are protected.

    Usability
    Ideagen
    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Ideagen
    • 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.

    • Before Techstreet, I had to go to multiple places to purchase the standards I needed. This was time-consuming and frustrating. But with Techstreet, I can find all the standards I need in one place, and their prices are really competitive.
    • I also appreciate that Techstreet is a full repository. This means that they have a huge selection of standards to choose from, including both current and previous versions. This is really helpful for me, because I often need to reference older versions of standards for reviewing test procedures or training purposes.
