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 of AuditBoard is its ability to facilitate the editing of work papers in a seamless and efficient manner. This is achieved through a built-in tool that allows for real-time editing without the need for downloading the working paper. This feature has proven to be incredibly time-saving for me as it eliminates the step of having to download the file and make changes, instead providing an easy-to-access "edit work paper" option. Overall, this feature has greatly improved my experience with AuditBoard and has been a significant contributor to its success in my opinion."
"For AuditBoard, the simple workflow made it very easy to code with the group."
"AuditBoard is very user-friendly compared to other audit management software I have used in the past."
"In AuditBoard, there are all the audit steps, including documentation, archiving, and tracking the progress of audits."
"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"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."
"The most significant feature of AuditBoard is its community tools. It provides an internal communication platform that enables users to communicate within the system rather than relying on external tools such as Outlook or Microsoft products. By communicating within the system, all interactions are centralized and accessible, promoting a streamlined workflow."
"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."
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
"The simplicity of OneTrust GRC, particularly its user interface, is valuable as it makes it easy to use and not complex."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"One of the most beneficial features of the product has been its cloud-based IT and vendor risk management tools, along with built-in templates for GDPR and ISO compliance."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Some of that flexibility could be enhanced. When comparing Archer and TeamMate+, there is a little more open-ended in terms of certain of our audit processes and procedures. And there is significantly greater freedom in creating ad hoc audit processes and procedures, whereas AuditBoard is a little more limiting in this regard."
"It is not easy to analyze the results of a survey as a whole."
"The layout for the end user could be improved."
"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"The initial setup is somewhat difficult because it has multiple pieces that need to be stitched together. You have to integrate it with the business unit you want to test if you want to go down from the corporate level to the operational level."
"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."
"They should improve the solution's test sheets feature for ease of use."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"There could be enhancements related to AI."
"I wish there were more customization options, particularly within the privacy rights automation module."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
"The platform is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"The solution 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."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
