Overall I think the highbond packages and online user forums/trainings are an excellent investment for any internal audit program.
My favorite parts of ACL from Highbond are the scripting functions that allow me to easily backtrack my work and the ability to perform lots of different computations on the data without corrupting source material.
I dislike that the visual components of ACL are limited.

We are currently using ACL for everything from gathering of statistical information for senior management, compiling risk factors for audit selection to analyzing taxpayer information prior to performing an audit
The ability to script repetitive tasks. ACL allows the user to “code” the steps performed so that they can be repeated at a click of a button. This whole process can be done without knowing any programming language because ACL records the steps that you have taken, which can then be copied into a script and run whenever it is needed.
The PDF converter. ACL has the ability to convert a pdf into a table, however the PDF needs to be a fairly simple one otherwise the data columns tend to jump around.

I enjoy the use of the platform. Although there are a few issues with the product, I can see the product has improved in the past 10 years. There are always workaround to address the issues users encountered. Also the user community is always helpful and supportive.
I enjoy the use of ACL Robotics to automate audit tasks. Its development suite provide enough tools to aid auditors to create analytics to complete repetitive tasks.
The product has a poor integration with Excel and lacks a sophisticated report generator. In addition, it has issue with installing Oracle data connector.

Our testing is much more efficient. We are working on implementing ERM. Down the line, I would like to implement IT functionality.
I appreciate the ability to collaborate. I can have multiple people testing controls simultaneously. The testing reviews can happen in real-time, creating efficiencies.
It would be nice if the applications had in-application help. Meaning, it would be preferable to have links to help docs where they ae needed. Or, if not links to help docs, explanations about how to perform certain data functions, without searching forever, and maybe or maybe not, finding what you need.

The interface is user friend. The build in functions make the application very easy to use. There is a learning curve. Just like any kind of sports, if you want to be good at it, you got to practice. Use it often, even for low lying fruit type of activities.
Combined Analytic and Highbond (Robotic), the two applications is a powerful pair. They can save a lot of audit hours and generates huge value to the organization.
It is an application and requires a set of skillsets to use the software effectively. The biggest challenge is talent. Training and promoting on using the software is key. Once you have a talented team, HighBond will soar like an eagle.

Currently, our company dont have the complete subscription or functionality. The price can be intimidating. We are currently revisiting our options.

ACL is super easy to use. We use it for both analytics and GRC. Keeps things organized and helps us analyze large amounts of data quickly! Love it and would recommend to any audit team big or small.
Nothing to complain about here! We looked into other audit management software options and ACL seemed to be the easiest to implement "out of the box"and we haven't been disappointed.

I'm happy with some of the apps but I love the analytics and automation features.
ACL Analytics and ACL Robotics - Simply Amazing capabilities in the windows version and the GRC platform. The ability to automate repetitive tasks is awesome.
Some of the advanced apps/features found in competitors platforms aren't present. UI looks basic. Ability to customize workflow/add advanced or complex workflows is missing.

Their analytics tool is great as well as their support team. Their GRC platform is simple and user-friendly.
GRC functionalities need improvement and their solution and services are kind of pricey, but worth it.

Ease of use. Many features. Audit trail in the analysis. Engaging community providing ideas and ready-to-use code. Ability to process many forms of data. Ability to process large amounts of data.
There are very few things not to like. None comes to mind at the moment.

Satisfied with the tool being used for analytical audit assignment
ACL Analytics is an effective tool to perform analytical assignments in an auditing field for files with high number of records.
Tedious and lengthy to get familiar with all the tools available.

Easy to pick up and learn. Allows you to rapidly analyze datasets and action.
Very slow performance. Doing basic things analogous to 'a subselect in SQL' is more painful than it needs to be.

Still implementing it, but ACL support has been very helpful
I like that it has taken in to account the needs of audit documentation and consolidating all functionality in to one Application. I also like that when taking to ACL reps, they listen and use the feedback to make changes to help address requirements.
Not much, I would say the custom reporting capabilities to match what customers were using before ACL. While I prefer to use ACL as designed, it doesn't have the capabilities to print more graphs and tables.

Great product! I highly recommend it!
I love how easy it is to use, meaning the customer was really thought about and considered on this. There are many functions that are very useful when working smarter, specially when it comes to Audit, sometimes time is of essence.
So far there is no complaints with this software.
