### "ISMS.online"

April 18, 2024

4.0

Pros

The system is simple and most areas easy to navigate to. The customer support is fantastic.

Cons

Some of the features that are referenced within some of the controls are not provided as standard and are available at additional cost, but we only found out about them as we worked through the system and the controls. E.g., Policy Pack feature.

### "Misleading sales team and hugely deficient product"

February 8, 2024

2.0

Horrible. Rude company with sketchy business practices. They try to get you to sign a proposal with over-promises and then stop following up shortly after. They don’t care if you get ISO 27001 certified or not.

Pros

There really was nothing I liked about the platform. It was so bad that immediately after we were given access, we switched to Vanta when we realized how much better it was.

Cons

Their sales team told us they had seamless integrations where isms.online does all the work. Just look at their market site. The reality is that their product costs $1k+/year more than Vanta while being hopelessly behind in sophistication and critical functionality. So rather than trying to get better, they’ll try to bait you into accepting a proposal while promising the moon about how easy it’ll all be.

Reason for choosing ISMS.online

We switched to Vanta. We initially picked ISMS.online because of the promises from their sales team, before we were allowed to see the product ourselves.

### "First Rate System"

December 5, 2023

5.0

First rate from the initial interactions.

Pros

What is not to like! It works really well and we have had success in its use and enjoyed it too.

Cons

No ability to have scheduled tasks. I know it is coming but is the one weakness.

Reason for choosing ISMS.online

Too expensive and lacked important functions. Too much focus on automation

### "Helpful ISMS compliance tool"

May 30, 2024

5.0

Pros

We used ISMS.online successfully from around 2021-2023 to collect information about our company's security posture in preparation for an ISO audit. It worked adequately for this purpose.

Cons

The automatic annual auto-renew was an inconvenience for us to deal with, I would recommend that ISMS reconsiders this policy.

### "Security & Compliance made simpler"

December 5, 2023

5.0

Pros

What was most notice able was the relative ease with which the platform was rolled out and then subsequently maintained.

Cons

Some features were not immediately obvious and with most solutions there is a phase where you have to learn to search where things are located.
