TeamMate! Did you use this solution? what can you say, recommend or criticize? Share you experience please.

Teammate is a good solution. I have used it from2009 to2011. For sure it has updated more than once after that, I have faced some bugs during the use which were solved by them frequently. My recommendations are:

1.      To dedicate your requirements in details

2.      Understand Teammate very well , input, output , how it’s works …

3.      Ensure that the customization of Teammate has been implemented properly.

4.      Ensure that the users (Auditor) have been trained very well, garbage in – garbage out 

In my point of view team mate is very useful tool to produce the desired results in a co i recomand that i used that from2001 to present successfully run and achieve the desired goals

Brother Waqayan,

There are dozens of internal audit solutions on the market. It is always good to evaluate and request a demo from3-5 different systems and select the best solution for your needs.

I will give you a few links that will make it easier to select:

1. Gartner ranking of the best systems:

It is among of the best Audit Management tools out there. I have been using TeamMate since2011 until today. If you want to enjoy the features of TeamMate...you have to define everything from the beginning i.e. have your organization objectives, associated risks, mitigation measures and testing criteria linked together. Once you are done with these issues you can now take a front seat and enjoy the magic of TeamMate.

Yes I RECOMMEND..

Recently evaluated teammate along with other Audit Management Solutions for "Pure-Play" Internal Audit requirements. I was disappointed to say the least as i've heard a lot about it. Granted it has a great extent of configurability and customisation to adapt it as per requirements. However, every other renowned Audit Management Solution has this feature nowadays, and it is not new anymore. Where it lacks is its User-Friendliness and Ease-of-Use as compared to other off the shelf Audit Management Solutions. It is overly cluttered and modularised and unlike many other solutions, has a separate Analytics module (that you have to buy separately) making a final viable teammate implementation costlier as compared to other Audit Management implementations. Recently, an executive from my dept visited the Fed Res Bank @ US and found out they were fed up with their Teammate solution and evaluating replacements of their own!

My recommendations to you as user friendly and a potentially cheaper alternatives to Teammate would be either MKInsight or Auto-Audit. Although you should run your own evaluation based on your own criterion to determine which solution best fits your needs. Hope this helps.

I've never used it. Thank you for drawing our attention to it.
