Streamlined workflow and enhanced simplicity with an easy setup
I used AuditBoard primarily for risk assessment questionnaires in a very premature risk environment. I also have experience with IBM OpenPages, mostly for operational risk to track issues, to look at risks and controls The collaboration within my team had not yet significantly changed since…

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

"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."
"For AuditBoard, the simple workflow made it very easy to code with the group."
"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."
"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 solution is user-friendly, easy to set up, and provides a single console where you can easily track what you need, including how to proceed for reassessment, how to upload evidence, and how to put in a remark."
"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"AuditBoard is very user-friendly compared to other audit management software I have used in the past."
"There are lots of features."
"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"
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
 

Cons

"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"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."
"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."
"It is not easy to analyze the results of a survey as a whole."
"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"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."
"AuditBoard has the potential for improvement in a few key areas. Firstly, I have experienced instances where the platform has experienced technical issues and ceased to function effectively. Additionally, the editing tools provided within the platform can be slow and laggy, particularly when trying to access and edit important documents. This can be a hindrance to my workflow and efficiency. To address these issues, they should begin by improving the speed and reliability of the platform, as well as enhancing the search engine to make it easier to find specific controls and documents within the platform."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"For the Vendor Risk Module I see only minor functionality improvements needed."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"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."
"They could improve by offering free help."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
 

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