GOAT Risk Reviews

- Ease of use
- Pricing model
- Tips in the system of how to get more out of the software

In some ways, it's simplistic nature can be a limitation. But overall, in a generally immature risk environment the simple nature allows for greater adoption making it accessible to non risk experts

It sits on top of our existing reporting and does not add to the workload by creating a seperate standalone system

The hardest part is not the system but the education of users to understand how to use it. We had a lightbulb moment where we nailed down the interaction between the register and the other reporting so that it was fed from the other reports rather than competed with them.

Simple, effective what it does, and well priced.

I think GOAT risk is very well suited for what is does and its market positioning.

Affordable and easy to use. Great support too

Nothing to mention that had any significant impact

This is a great piece of software that has helped us engrain risk management in our decision making and helped our reporting requirements to committees that run/govern our organisation.

We are happy overall with this software.

The ease for all people throughout the company to use the product and update the risks. Whether they are risk professionals or new to risk management.

The GOAT Team are continuously improving he product based on feedback

Formatting issues with text input sometimes impacts reporting tools

The Software GOAT Risk Management offers an attractive user environment. The integrated risk assessment and selection of control measures work excellently. Additionally, the control matrix functionality provides a clear overview of the implemented control measures. In summary, it’s a valuable tool for effective risk management!

While GOAT Risk offers an easy-to-use platform for risk management, there are some limitations in its reporting capabilities. Improving the reporting functionality could enhance the overall user experience and provide even better insights for decision-makers.

Mostly intuitive and user friendly.
Lets us choose who to give access to which risks.
Range of reports.

You can't customise the reports to deliver what we need for our committees. For example, would be good to have a report which ranks the risks based on the gap between the net and the target risks.
There are a few features that are not intuitive - for example, to save a report to your computer, you need to click on 'print' and to replace a user with a different user who is going to take on all of their risks, it is hard to find.

The ability to simplify risk management, allocate to users and move away from spreadsheets!

Some admin work can be 'clunky' but [sensitive content hidden] and the team have been incredibly responsive in taking on feedback and developing solutions!

Simple to use online system that allows us to focus on the content of the risk register rather than the administration.

The heat map can be a little messy with a lot of risks, but it's a lot easier than trying to produce in Excel or similar.

Ease of implementation and customer support.

At lower levels reports aren’t as in depth as you would like.

Very easy to use, setup and understand. Very, very low cost. Has a sleek look with a simple drag and drop heatmap. Includes tutorials and tips for users and has great customer service too.

Does not include some of the advanced cyber protections and cyber integrations we would like. The report functions could be improved (formatting and layout wise).

Customisation
Seems simple to use
Quite intuitive

You don't know what you don't know, so if you're unfamiliar with Risk Management, it can be time consuming as you test the platform out.
Creating appropriate KRI can be challenging.
There's not a lot of depth to the tutorials. Being in the southern hemisphere, I'm reliant on the tutorials to provide quick answers.
No archive system for eliminated or obsolete risks. The response to create another profile for archiving means an escalation in cost from $600 to $1800 per annum.

value for money. Very easy going company. Easy to setup (does take only a few hours)

It is almost to easy to do business with them when you are part of a multinational and you have stakeholders like a legal and IT department.

The setup was painless and the ease of use in general is very good.

None comes to mind. It was however slightly difficult at the outset to draw reports and to customize reports.

What we like about GOAT Risk is the ease of use. It very user-friendly at a very reasonable price. We can also customize the system according to the business needs. Now we have one single source of truth as we can easily see per departments risk register.

I just experience system glitch during the customization stage but it was resolved by the Dev Team.

Consider also adding more than one system administrator.

We are a mid-sized personal lending company and GOAT Risk is perfect for our needs.

We need a platform to regularly assess, manage and monitor our Enterprise Risks and Incidents and GOAT is exactly the solution we were after.

GOAT is industry-agnostic and could be utilised by a number of companies - I would highly recommend, especially if you do not require a fully integrated ERM/GRC system.

Certainly not a con, although the navigation of reporting is not quite as agile as I would like, however this is a very minor drawback.

Goat Risk is simple to use and easy to deploy.

Email alert / workflow lacks detail needed to engage users without other prompts

Easy to use, implement and roll out to business

In the early stages of usage however none at present
