Essential ERM implemented a solution and engaged more like a partner than a supplier.

We wanted to formalize and create a structure for our risk management process that engaged teams across the organization to easily & effectively add/change/delete risk events, and both assess and manage risk. Essential ERM has proven to be a very cost-effective and adaptable tool to achieve our goal. The company understands the needs of the not-for-profit sector and have been very committed to our success.

Pros

The software is flexible in meeting our needs and growing with us, as well as encouraging collaboration across our organization. While Essential ERM does provide great training and support, the software is intuitive and easy to pick-up.

Cons

We are relatively new users, and have not found any issues of concern.

Essential ERM is straightforward and stregthens the ERM Program

Reviewed on 20/01/2024

Pros

Essential ERM provides a single view of the risks in real time and links to risk appetite and strategies. The indicators are easy to track and monitor. The workflows and other functionalities improve decision making and collaboration. It can be implemented in a very short time (2-6 weeks) even without IT implementation experience and their team is prompt and responsive. Its a must have as risk assessments should be dynamic and risk data are quickly changing. An entity can use every day to know whats top of mind or emerging risks and escalations that must responded to.

Cons

Because audiences are different, report customizations would help.

Pros

Our initial introduction with Essential ERM was very positive. They listened to what we already have in place and clearly demonstrated what their solution could offer. This is a very comprehensive package, that can be started in a small way and then extra added as and when the business users become more familiar. The demonstration went through the full offering and it was easy to understand how it could fit within our businesses. The analytics reporting is excellent and ideal for high level reporting to Boards or individual business units.

Cons

From the experience we have using the trial and demo, we could not think of any cons.

The team is extremely helpful in bringing newbies up to speed and the software is quite intuitive. Also the price is amazing for the functionality provided.

Pros

The optionality of the tool within the individual modules.

Cons

I would like a bit more control over the format of printable reports but this is very minor.
