The short version

  • Only Warp has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Diligent the platform is an assembly of acquisitions, with the analytics engine from ACL, risk from Rsam, ethics and third-party diligence from Steele and the board portal from Diligent itself, so cross-module reporting and consistent user experience should be tested in a proof of concept rather than assumed.; Warp limited cloud agents access on free tier

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Diligent

  • The platform is an assembly of acquisitions, with the analytics engine from ACL, risk from Rsam, ethics and third-party diligence from Steele and the board portal from Diligent itself, so cross-module reporting and consistent user experience should be tested in a proof of concept rather than assumed.
  • Pricing is unpublished and consistently at the top of the market, and organisations that need only one capability, a board portal or an audit analytics tool, generally pay less and get more from a specialist.
  • Renewal leverage is weak once the board portal is embedded, because directors are the least willing user group to be migrated and that dependency is well understood by the vendor at renewal time.
  • The analytics engine expects real data skills, and audit teams without an analytics-capable member typically use a fraction of what they licensed while paying for all of it.
  • Module-by-module implementation means the promised single view of governance and risk usually arrives years after the first purchase, if the later modules are ever funded.

Warp

  • Limited cloud agents access on free tier
  • Limited collaboration features on free tier
  • Limited cloud conversation storage on free tier
  • IME input not properly handled on macOS (discarded during command or Agent output)
  • Terminal zoom functionality does not properly resize grid in TUI applications, causing misaligned rendering
  • Multi-language (i18n) support missing as of documentation
  • Requires macOS 10.14 or later (excludes older Mac hardware)
  • Requires Windows 10 build 1903 or later (excludes pre-build 1903 systems)
  • Linux requires glibc 2.31 or higher and GPU support (OpenGL ES 3.0+ or Vulkan) for rendering

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Diligent: Is Diligent One the same product as Galvanize?

It contains it. Diligent bought Galvanize, the ACL and Rsam merger, for around one billion dollars in April 2021, and its audit analytics and risk modules are that heritage rebranded into Diligent One.

Warp: What is the pricing model?

Usage-based, priced per agent run. Qualifying orgs get $10k of factory usage during closed early access.

Source
Diligent: What does Diligent cost?

Not published. It is quoted by module and user, and board portal seats are priced differently from GRC seats. Expect an annual or multi-year enterprise agreement.

Warp: Where does our data live?

Data lives wherever you choose - Warp's cloud, or fully self-hosted inside your own VPC, under your existing retention and compliance rules.

Source
Diligent: Can you buy just the board portal?

Yes, Diligent Boards is sold on its own and is the most common entry point. The GRC modules are separate purchases.

Warp: What is included in the free trial?

Get up to $10,000 in free factory usage during early access.

Source
Diligent: Does it replace a SOC 2 automation tool?

No. Diligent is aimed at enterprise audit, risk and governance, not at automated evidence collection for security certifications.
