Director of cloud security at Nuxeo
Centralized asset tracking has transformed governance and now speeds incident response
I would add that currently, the tool supports some integrations, but we would expect it to support broader integration with other security tools, observability, or any other cloud integrations. One area Axonius can be improved is its integration process, as it is not straightforward; there is a lot involved in cloning the instance and other hard changes that I expect to be fully automated, suggesting an agentless method instead of utilizing agents, which feels somewhat legacy but could be improved. The user interface needs improvement because it is a bit laggy sometimes, making it not straightforward when we want to identify things quickly, leading us to go in different directions which could be better tied together in one place.

Governance Risk and Compliance Coordinator at HUB International
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

"he best feature I found in Axonius is that it shows us the duration of eCheck, and it shows us what device is down and in which part of the system life cycle or the checking part the system is down in."
"Overall, I would rate Axonius an eight out of ten."
"Axonius provides preconfigured dashboards that can be customized to your needs."
"With this solution in place, we are now 100% compliant along with security functions or operations area management."
"The solution's technical support was good...The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"The automation capabilities in Axonius have streamlined our security operations."
"I like that the tool has a user-friendly interface. It helps organizations and big companies improve business requirements and control processes."
"One of the valuable features of this solution is it has the ability to review fourth and fifth parties to the nth degree."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"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 simplicity of OneTrust GRC, particularly its user interface, is valuable as it makes it easy to use and not complex."
"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."
"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"
 

Cons

"For us, the product's deployment phase was a little challenging because we had to deal with other departments and business units."
"Adding more detailed descriptions or YouTube videos about specific features would help improve the application."
"Regarding the improvement of Axonius, it goes halfway for both the tool and the user. If we set it up quickly from our end, and if the AD groups and all other groups assigned to tag the assets have been tagged correctly, Axonius could not show an error."
"For Axonius, I would suggest supporting more ticketing platforms and enhancing API integration directly into the platform rather than just the connector. This would allow for better integration from different systems, possibly into workflows, which I think is currently lacking."
"Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features."
"Axonius could improve by increasing their integrations with more technology vendors."
"We can have fetch cycle issues."
"One area Axonius can be improved is its integration process, as it is not straightforward; there is a lot involved in cloning the instance and other hard changes that I expect to be fully automated, suggesting an agentless method instead of utilizing agents, which feels somewhat legacy but could be improved."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
"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."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
"There could be enhancements related to AI."
"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."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Axonius is quite a bit cheaper compared to other solutions."
"We are on a subscription model with them."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"The platform is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"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."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
