Gopichand Rajbhar - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, simple to implement, and has lots of features
There are lots of features. We like the reviewer and auditor, where they support you if you want to upload evidence. At the same time the reviewer or auditor can also put their remark. The solution is user-friendly. It's easy to set up. You can easily find out how to proceed for reassessment, how to upload that evidence, and how you can put in a remark. Everything is a single console where you can easily track what you need. It's stable. The product is scalable. They provide a demo to customers to allow them to explore the tools.
Gerald Pegg - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined incident management with user-friendly automation tools and responsive support
I use OneTrust specifically for incident management. For my company, I helped to create the incident management program that we currently use, particularly with gathering the information and sending out assessments to different vendors to collect information for further research and discovery.  I…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the well-documented instruction."
"For AuditBoard, the simple workflow made it very easy to code with the group."
"Considering the solution's return on investment, it has been extremely helpful since we were doing a lot of documentation. Previously, in our company, we were using an Excel sheet which made things quite messy."
"There are lots of features."
"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"The most valuable feature is that everybody can use the same tool. You can give a person permission to use AuditBoard and define their access to the Audit Table. For example, we can allow external auditors or clients to review our completed tests. The clients are attached to specific tests that happen regularly, like inventory counts and asset counts. Debt compliance is only done once annually."
"I find the most significant elements of this solution are the out-of-the-box reporting, the ease of workflow, workflow management, and the ease of managing our audit process."
"In AuditBoard, there are all the audit steps, including documentation, archiving, and tracking the progress of audits."
"OneTrust GRC is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it already has visibility about all the data protection regulations or other cybersecurity regulations related to several countries"
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."
"We have data from Jira regarding addiction related to Europe as well as California. Additionally, we have data related to the Indian Data Protection Bill. Therefore, GDPR compliance is highly beneficial."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
 

Cons

"They should improve the solution's test sheets feature for ease of use."
"AuditBoard could benefit from the addition of video capabilities, although it is not a necessity. Small companies that cannot afford licenses for Microsoft Teams or Zoom would benefit greatly from this feature, as it would enhance the communication process."
"The layout for the end user could be improved."
"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"A handful of things in the solution need to be improved. One of them is better communication of updates to the system or tool itself."
"After sending out a request to my network for documents, it would be great to have a receipt that shows who received the request and who did not."
"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"It is not easy to analyze the results of a survey as a whole."
"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"There are several areas for improvement. One is the integration capability. Connecting various DSAR systems can be time-consuming if a single integration takes months to complete."
"They could improve by offering free help. A solution, a lot of times, is not just the use of the solution. For example, it is the overall engagement, how well do they support the system, what is their SLA, and how long their response time is to an issue. It would be beneficial if they had some type of professional services where they offer the first five hours of professional services a year for free. That would be a substantial benefit rather than having to buy professional services or professional services packages."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I highly recommend this tool as the price is reasonable. However, consistent pricing is important, and having a loyalty program that rewards long-term customers with lower prices would be a great addition."
"Pricing is variable, like with any technology, and is determined by how hard you wish to negotiate. You can get to a price you're willing to pay if you're willing to negotiate aggressively."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"The solution is expensive."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"The platform is expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is too expensive, I rate the solution a seven since it falls under the pricey side."
