" SAP GRC vs Other GRC Tools"

Last week when i was giving a seminar , there was a question from one of the audience that who all are the famous GRC vendors available in the market, then i asked him " What makes a software vendor’s product a GRC product?" , He started responding something, I asked him " how to differentiate among ERM, compliance applications and GRC "  the story went on....Later thought of compiling this list. 

What is GRC , What are all the GRC Products available in Market ? 

“Organizations are inundated with IT vendors claiming to have the answer for their risk and compliance problems. However, most of these vendors provide capabilities to meet only a single requirement or a handful of requirements and really are not a risk and compliance management vendor themselves. Real risk and compliance vendors provide a platform for documenting and overseeing risk and compliance across an organization.

 The fragmentation of the market and misleading terminology used in software vendors’ marketing makes it hard to identify “real” GRC vendors. For the moment the list below is based on companies mentioned in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance Management.
