Cons Handling of tasks (filtering, deleting, addressing, inability to add on certain things) Review Source R Reviewer Senior Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Well designed and supported product" December 4, 2023 5.0 Pros The product is great but the customer support and service make it best in class. Cons As we move to a more automated solution it was a challenge to reengineer our internal processes to match Fieldguide's capabilities. Review Source R Reviewer IT Risk Advisory Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Fieldguide Efficiency Updates" September 16, 2024 4.0 My experience has been very positive. Fieldguide continues to improve but I would like to see them to continue to offer different features and options to continue to make the overall experience more efficient. Pros Live time updating and having the ability to have multiple people working on a single engagement. Cons The review process in Fieldguide could be more efficient with the ability to have multiple different views so that someone could review a piece of evidence while also reading a testing table that corresponds to the evidence. Review Source R Reviewer Risk Service Associate Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Fieldguide from a it auditor persepective " June 12, 2023 5.0 Pros Fieldguide seamlessly digitizes the entire engagement lifecycle, delivering unparalleled efficiency and effectiveness.One of the standout features of Field Guide is its all-in-one approach. Gone are the days of juggling multiple tools and systems to manage engagements. Field Guide consolidates everything onto a single platform, streamlining our workflows and reducing manual effort. This has significantly improved our productivity, allowing us to focus on delivering top-notch service to our clients. Cons When importing a excel sheet to fieldguide to create samples it can get sometimes buggy where it doesn’t match up right in fieldguide. For example columns and rows don’t match up. Review Source R Reviewer Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Review of Fieldguide" April 4, 2023 5.0 Incredibly positive. Their support team is second to none and incredibly responsive, and they seek feedback frequently and often. I see the fruit of that feedback as well in the product. Pros Redundancy reduction, thoughtful workflows, client integration, process streamlining Cons Flexible but has its limits, newer features / service offerings continue to mature Review Source R Reviewer Business Risk Service Associate Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Fieldguide a perfect tool for SOC Engagements" July 3, 2023 4.0 Pros The dashboard is really good, I like how it shows all your tasks and what requests are open, ready for review, or changed requested. The look of the tool is very modern and way better than PFX. I prefer working on Fieldguide then PFX. Cons I've had sometimes the website crash on me when i'm in a documenting and testing the controls. Fieldguide could be more smooth. The editing tools for tagging documents could use a overhaul such as adding more features. For example adobe allows me to add stamps. I wish Fieldguide can do that. Review Source R Reviewer Consulting Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "MMA Review" May 8, 2023 5.0 Pros ability to customize dashboards and that the tasks are available to on page start up Cons Sometimes hard to find evidence and filtering can cause some headache Review Source R Reviewer Senior Auditor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "All-in-One Audit Management" October 7, 2022 5.0 Pros I like the ability to manage multiple engagements all in one place. The ability to review and document audit procedures across multiple engagements without logging in to different tools. The ability to review documentation in the application without opening other applications. Cons Setting up existing reviews with imports and such was a learning curve but have improved since the beginning. Review Source R Reviewer Sr. Auditor Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Its Good and working hard towards becoming better" August 22, 2024 5.0 My overall experience is good however, editing files especially PDF seems to be difficult in the application.

Easy to use Cons Sometimes can be very overwhelming Takes time to adjust Review Source R Reviewer Manager, Risk Management Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Fieldguide-SSPA" October 13, 2022 5.0 Pros Ease of use, overall workflow, client experience, document and request management Cons 1) Would be nice to have some reporting capabilities that span across all of our clients using form fields or some other metric (e.g. a report of all clients that we identified in a form as having an ISO 27001 or other certification 2) Ability to assign admins at a project level Review Source R Reviewer IT RAS Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Fieldguide Review" March 14, 2023 5.0 Pros The user interface is very easy to use and provides alot of detail.

Pros Streamlines auditing process and makes it much easier to document compared to using traditional spreadsheets. Can collaborate with clients and clients really like the requests feature. Cons Nothing comes to mind, can provide feedback to their team and they can add it as an improvement they'll consider Review Source R Reviewer Risk Advisory Services Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Fieldguide " December 12, 2024 4.0 I really enjoy using Fieldguide. It is efficient to have all your workpapers from the client in one spot, pick samples, and complete testing. Pros Fieldguide is user freindly for all engagements. I can use it for SOX testing, SOC reports, and internal audits. Cons When there are excel files, you can only open them in the online version and edit it. If you open it in the desktop version, your changes could be lost. Review Source R Reviewer Senior consultant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Other name for professional excellence = Field guide " December 20, 2024 5.0 Pros Client -auditor excellent interaction tool. Cons Reporting parent engagement, exception rating compilation others Review Source R Reviewer Managing Director of Information Assurance Services Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Better than all the other solutions for completing security compliance assessments. " November 7, 2024 5.0 Great customer success team. There are many opportunities to streamline and automate tasks that were heavily manual in the past. Pros Automation of reports. Ability to create cross-mapped engagements, and streamline processes for both the client and my team. Cons Support for cross-mapped engagements is good but can use improvement in a few areas. Review Source R Reviewer Partner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "SOC 2 Automation for Auditors" November 30, 2021 4.0 Through Fieldguide we have automated the tracking or processing of our most time-consuming SOC2 processes which enable us to provide a higher quality and more consistent end-result year-over-year. Fieldguide also enables us to embrace each engagements unique components without shoehorning boilerplate into our processes and documents. Pros Fieldguide is clearly designed and innovated with the auditor's perspective in-mind. From engagement setup to statistical sampling and tracking client submissions, it makes the auditor's life easier. In addition, the onboarding experience is the best we've had with any product in the technical space. Our onboarding resources clearly knew the product, auditor workflow, and were excellent guides. Cons The only area we would like to see improvement in currently is adding additional frameworks. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Auditor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Fieldguide for Conducting Audit Fieldwork" October 7, 2021 4.0 Really good product with a few bugs, but the support teams and williningness to provide flexible services where possible to continue building the product goes a long way. Pros The software provides a nice interface to exchange documents and notes with auditees/auditors to keep the audit process moving. It's intuitive which avoids confusion when uploading documents and changing task status. The dashboards also provide a nice status summary of audits so both auditees and auditors know the status of fieldwork in real time. Most importantly the software comes with very timely and professional support when there are questions or issues. Cons The reporting functions are a little over complicated. A feature to simply print to pdf/word report narrations, and tables without creating separate templates would be ideal. There is also a lack of reference points/user guides to help perform import function and generate reports. The guess and check methods of learning what the software will do in certain scenarios in inefficient, and a summary/user guide would be helpful to answer common questions, provide step by step procedures, warnings, FYIs, etc. One major item with importing is its unclear what gets overridden vs. is added in the software in addition, and this makes for a messy setup at time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Staff Auditor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Reliable, Innovative, Practical." June 18, 2024 5.0 Pros Updates upon feedback are considered proactively. AI features are innovative and useful for my daily job. Feels like I am using a cutting edge technology for my use case. Cons Setting up new engagements (at first), but carrying them over year over year is easy to do. Review Source R Reviewer Supervisor Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Review - SOC auditor" November 18, 2021 3.0 I had a tough time learning the software and getting used to the layout and functionality. It made the audit easier in some regards but more difficult in other regards. Overall, I think it was a little better than our previous audit methods, but there is much room for improvement. Customer service was excellent and always helped us with questions and with implementing new features. Pros The best feature was being able to work in the audit sheets and documents simultaneously with other auditors. Cons Document organization (moving documents, signing off, deleting, renaming, etc) was clunky and time consuming - being able to perform edits on multiple documents at once would be very helpful. Review Source R Reviewer Senior Consultant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "User friendly" October 10, 2023 4.0 Great Pros User friendly, smooth communication between the auditor and client, manages documents well. Cons Nothing as such, I like field guide and it is improving day by day.

This customer-focused approach has been refreshing compared to our experiences with previous vendors. Pros The Fieldguide platform has been a major efficiency booster to our audit practice and gives our teams the ability to have complete visibility into our audit engagements. We have tailored our workflow around the product and love the fact that we have all of our workpapers and audit artifacts in the Fieldguide platform with no need to download files to local computers. The report generation ability is a great time-saving feature too. Cons There really are no significant cons with the product that we have found so far. Fieldguide has been releasing new features almost weekly and has been super responsive to requests and suggestions.
