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…

Experienced security and easy understanding with advanced customization enhances efficiency
Regarding automation, they could enhance features for checking real-time data when someone attempts to access data without proper permissions. Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong. Having prevention alerts immediately when someone triggers unauthorized actions would allow us to address these situations proactively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The simplicity of OneTrust GRC, particularly its user interface, is valuable as it makes it easy to use and not complex."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"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 biggest plus for us is that everything we need for our Privacy Program is in one single tool."
"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"
"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."
"OneTrust GRC is stable."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
"It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles. From the user perspective, you get to know what are the permission risks and access risks. You get a lot of useful information."
"We have enterprise clients for the product."
"The customization options in the dashboards inside SAP BusinessObjects GRC are highly valuable, and the real-time monitoring feature performs effectively, allowing teams to maintain data security by restricting domain visibility."
"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."
"It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles."
"It improved the organization's reporting culture, giving us insights into health, management, and operational results."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
 

Cons

"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"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."
"I wish there were more customization options, particularly within the privacy rights automation module."
"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"The learning curve is high."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones."
"Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong."
"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I found the pricing and setup cost very 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."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"SAP BusinessObjects GRC is expensive."
"The product's licensing costs involve a one-time purchase. The tool also allows others to make annual payments towards the licensing charges of the product."
"The license is costly."
"There is a yearly licensing cost. I would rate their pricing 4 out of 5."
