Featured Reviews

MuhammadAzhar Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Manages multiple accounts efficiently with streamlined billing and centralized oversight
The main feature of AWS Organizations that I find valuable is the management of multiple accounts. I can manage billing, access, and security for all accounts from a single point instead of managing them separately. It provides a single pane of glass for oversight. Additionally, its consolidated billing feature streamlines customer financial workflows. Since it is a free service, it is cost-effective for managing multiple accounts.
Badri Anand Santhanam - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing operational risk management and reporting capabilities with insightful dashboards and automated features
IBM OpenPages offers strong reporting capabilities with Cognos integration, providing standard tabular reports, various charts, and powerful dashboards for different lines of defense. It caters to the first line managing risks and controls, the second line of SMEs providing oversight, and the independent audit function with an internal audit management module. The solution is more intuitive and task-based, allowing better involvement of the risk function across different lines of defense. The automated features translate into reporting capabilities, and data can be easily extracted and downloaded in different formats.

Pros

"The main feature of AWS Organizations that I find valuable is the management of multiple accounts."
"The most valuable features are the workflow engine, calculations, and security rules."
"Everything about IBM OpenPages is valuable, particularly when compared to other solutions in the market like MetricStream, from which we switched due to its feasibility, user-friendliness, and performance."
"IBM OpenPages saves time in my work as a developer."
"IBM OpenPages provides time savings in recording risk management components."
"The ability to keep a record of internal incidents in the company, and also the monitoring of Key Indicators."
"The content, reporting, and workflow features stand out as the most valuable aspects."
 

Cons

"An option to bind a card or add a payment button would enhance the service."
"IBM needs to work on pricing for organizations with around 100 users, as the licensing model is not competitive enough for SMEs."
"Some self-relationships are not available in OpenPages' relationship model."
"IBM OpenPages could improve by adding more conditions to workflows, as some existing conditions might not work and can produce errors."
"It would be useful to have more out-of-the-box functionality, especially triggers and calculations."
"I believe there's room for improvement in establishing connections with external information."
"IBM OpenPages needs improvement in its UI. Currently, it is difficult to see the relationships (associations/parents) between all items unless you click on the item itself."
