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

"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"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."
"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."
"There are lots of features."
"AuditBoard is very user-friendly compared to other audit management software I have used in the past."
"The most valuable feature is the well-documented instruction."
"AuditBoard has several solutions for governance, internal audit, and other categories."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"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

"The layout for the end user could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is not easy to analyze the results of a survey as a whole."
"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"For the Vendor Risk Module I see only minor functionality improvements needed."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"They could improve by offering free help."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"The solution is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"The platform is expensive."
