Have faced limitations in compatibility and performance but it helps monitor and improve security practices
There are some technical limitations where certain features might support Windows but not Android devices. The compatibility between Windows and macOS also shows significant differences. Microsoft continuously works on improvements, and when we find issues and report them to Microsoft, they address them. To get full benefits from the EDR solution, Microsoft EDR solution needs to be set as the primary antivirus in the system. Without this configuration, many features cannot be accomplished. A specific example occurred in a recent project where the requirement was for emails sent outside the organization to require manager approval before being sent. While the approval system works on Windows, it does not support Android devices, limiting the functionality on mobile platforms.

Streamlined incident management with user-friendly automation tools and responsive support

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Secure Score's most valuable feature is identity."
"One of the valuable features of this solution is it has the ability to review fourth and fifth parties to the nth degree."
"OneTrust GRC is stable."
"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."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"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."
"One of the valuable features of this solution is it has the ability to review fourth and fifth parties to the nth degree."
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
 

Cons

"They could indicate whether a recommendation aligns with different compliance standards."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"They could improve by offering free help."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"For the Vendor Risk Module I see only minor functionality improvements needed."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
