Description of Apparity

Apparity is the smartest platform for banks and insurers looking to efficiently manage spreadsheet risk. Apparity is designed to securely discover, inventory, control and automate all the key events during the lifecycle of mission critical end user computing (EUC) applications such as financial spreadsheets, databases, scripts, and others. Apparity is designed to take EUC controls to the next level, providing business process automation and change management workflow that actually saves customers time and money. While spreadsheets, databases and other forms of EUC applications have been in use for decades, the heightened awareness of these applications and the risks they pose to an organization is relatively recent. Apparity addresses each facet of a comprehensive financial spreadsheet policy with Discovery, Registration and Active Management modules. These three modules seamlessly integrate with one another when used together. They can also operate independently for organizations seeking to address a singular need. With Apparity, a file detected using Discovery can be moved to Registration with a click of a button in the Apparity Inventory Management System (AIMS). Files under Active Management automatically populate the AlMS Managed/ Registered inventory for a comprehensive look into the EUC environment. The connectivity between modules increases efficiency by saving time and through a best in class user experience.

Flexible and Reliable Software for Data Entry

Having been in business since 2003 it was essential that we got something built fast & reliable so our clients never had an issue with data loss or corruption! Not only did they have immediate help but over 10 years down stream their systems are still not crashing nor has there ever once really even came close at any point while I've worked here!! It's amazing how much faster things get done when you don't keep running into issues like this. The tool offers lot of flexibility in terms of…

Pros
  • A powerful risk management solution; able provide us insights about risks faced as well perform remediation efforts seamlessly without having too many dependencies for specific products used internally such CRM, ERP, SCM.etc..to function properly!!! Also very helpful is being open source allowing customers/users customize product solutions according needs using its APIs
Cons
  • So-so

User friendly, great for saving time & offers flexibility

The system has saved me countless hours with its ease in creating custom forms/reports etc., which are stored within it's own database so there isn't any reliance or data loss if I need access elsewhere outside my computer(s). It also allows us easy export into our other software products without having them know how we're using their product internally; this enables much better cross-branding opportunities! We don’t have many complaints at present but some would be that you could build reports

Pros
  • The best thing about Apparity is the ease of building reports and custom forms which are stored within the system
Cons
  • To be honest I wish it was better supported by other software that I use and I can build reports off of other software instead of the native Apparity software

Tool works well for version control

The tool could have been more robust and had more features but they do offer lots of flexibility via API access. They did work very hard with us to try and find out what we needed and how best it could be delivered to suit our needs. There are 3 options - one being paid hosted service which would cost you quite some capital expenditure and time. We went down the app store route which involved creating an app in their own environment which was then uploaded onto our servers where our customers…

Pros
  • Easy for users
  • Has good user interface.
  • Ability connect directly from Excel or Powerpoint without having any knowledge about programming languages such as Java, Python etc
Cons
  • Can take too much longer than expected when opening files
  • User friendly
