ChangeGate vs Cohentis

ChangeGate is a web-based change governance system that records business, operational, and technical changes from request through closure. Its lifecycle includes impact analysis, approvals, planning, execution, hypercare, post-implementation review, and closure. Structured requests support RACI ownership, change approval board voting, and a recorded decision trail. The system provides 5x5 risk scoring and a Lite CMDB linking changes to systems, sites, equipment, and services. Teams can attach test and rollback plans, use blackout and freeze calendars, and route urgent work through an emergency path. Hypercare monitoring and post-implementation reviews capture outcomes and benefits. ChangeGate can assemble evidence packs containing approvals, reasons, risks, tests, outcomes, and benefits. Executive, operational, and personal dashboards show change value, risk, deadlines, approvals, and user actions. The maker says it supports SOC 2 CC8.1, ISO 27001 A.8.32, and TISAX expectations, without guaranteeing audit outcomes. Pricing is on request.

Cohentis connects strategic plans, expected benefits, initiatives, and evidence of whether teams adopt changes. It has three apps: Change portfolio for organisation-wide initiatives, Change plan for change managers, and Change mission for change agents. The portfolio maps benefits to initiatives and records each benefit's starting point, target, and latest measurement. Users set leading indicators, target values, and measurement rhythms; the app schedules measurements and flags due or overdue items. Change plans include a risk register and a timeline with sub-plans, milestones, measurement points, and dependencies. Change agents can open mission files without an account, capture what people say on a device, and send findings back as a file. The product links actions to risks, insights to conversations, and decisions to what prompted them. For Free and Pro, project data is stored as a file on the user's device, with no account or server holding the change project. The Free plan is free for one person and one project; Pro is $20 a month per change manager.
