Verdict
Diligent ranks third because it pairs internal audit with board governance and the ACL data-analytics engine, giving large enterprises continuous testing and a single risk picture up to the board.
What customers praise
The inherited ACL scripting and data-testing capability is stronger than most audit-only tools, supporting real continuous auditing on transaction data.
What customers criticise
The product is assembled from several acquisitions (Galvanize, ACL, Steele), and the pieces do not always feel like one cohesive experience.
Best for
Enterprises wanting audit alongside board governance, enterprise risk, and the data-analytics testing that came from the Galvanize and ACL acquisition.
