\- Sehr freundliche Ansprechpartner - Schneller und zuvorkommender Support - Faire Preisgestaltung mit verschiedenen Abozyklen

Pros

Athereon weißt eine hohe Flexibilität vor. Durch Funktionen wie Custom Fields können die einzelnen Module erweitert werden. Zudem können in Athereon Querverweise in allen Bereichen erstellt werden (z. B. Verknüpfung von Asset und Risiko, Risiko und Dokument oder Dokument und Maßnahme).

Cons

Viele Funktionen sind noch nicht zu Ende gedacht, allerdings wächst das Tool stetig weiter und die Module werden ausgebaut.

Durchaus und überwiegend sehr positiv. Besonders möchte ich den Support hervorheben: Es wurde immer schnell und umfassend geholfen.

Pros

Die Verknüpfung der verschiedenen Kataloge resp. deren Controls untereinander. Die generelle Übersichtlichkeit.

Cons

An manchen Stellen etwas "over-engineered". So sind meiner Meinung einige der Tags nicht zwingend notwendig. Einige der Verknüpfungen (Assets, Datenverantwortlicher, Auftragsverarbeiter in den Verarbeitungen) sind nicht immer ganz logisch.

[Fuentis Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/265973/Fuentis-Suite/)

Reasons for choosing Athereon GRC

Der Funktionsumfang von Athereon hat uns überzeugt. Das Preis-Leistungs-Gefüge von Athereon stimmte und stimmt immer noch für uns.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

Vielen Dank für Ihre positive Bewertung und das Vertrauen in Athereon GRC! Besonders freut uns Ihr Lob zur Katalogverknüpfung und zum Support – das geben wir gerne an unser Team weiter.

Dadurch, dass wir bereits ein mehrere Jahre ein zertifiziertes ISMS betrieben haben, ist uns die Anpassung an ein neues System sicherlich schwieriger gefallen, als wenn wir die Einführung des ISMS von Beginn an mit Athereon gemacht hätten. Letztlich gilt der Grundsatz, dass Athereon ein sehr gutes Werkzeug darstellt, das jedoch auch entsprechend genutzt werden muss.

Pros

Das UI ist ansprechend und aufgeräumt, zudem ist der Support schnell, hilfreich und hat stets ein offenes Ohr für Anregungen und Verbesserungen.

Cons

Einige Funktionen scheinen noch nicht ganz zu Ende gedacht zu sein. So kommt es häufiger vor, dass wir bei der Umsetzung von Prozessen an den Gegebenheiten im System scheitern.
