Pathlock vs. SAP Process Control

It is a very good software for securing your enterprise software. It helps you keep the access secure. It integrates over 100 applications. It monitors all user activity permissions and data security control all over our applications from one panel. PathLock can automate all user access reviews and can identify all sensitive data access to produce complaint reporting for SOX, CCPA, GDPR, and many more regulations. There is a high degree of automation in the software.

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.

• The messaging or customization of messages in different workflows is limited, which could be introduced to enhance the product

Not used any software apart from PathLock in this category

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.
