Integrates with ServiceNow and provides alerts for deviations
The most valuable feature of Axonius is its ability to deduplicate records and identify which ones are old and stale versus those more relevant. For example, if you haven't logged in today but a system somewhere else mentions you have, Axonius can detect this through various logs like Active Directory, file logging, or Wi-Fi connections. Traditionally, someone would have to make numerous calls and spend a lot of time to find out if you are on-site or connected to a Wi-Fi network. The tool simplifies this process. From my experience, onboarding and adding connectors was pretty easy, especially when integrating with the ServiceNow environment. It worked well for my use case, but the ease of use can depend on the customer's specific needs and what they are trying to achieve.

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."
"The automation capabilities in Axonius have streamlined our security operations."
"The solution's technical support was good...The product's initial setup phase is pretty straightforward."
"I like that the tool has a user-friendly interface. It helps organizations and big companies improve business requirements and control processes."
"Axonius provides preconfigured dashboards that can be customized to your needs."
"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."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"OneTrust GRC offers policy management, including documentation, distribution, attestation, and policy management."
 

Cons

"For us, the product's deployment phase was a little challenging because we had to deal with other departments and business units."
"We can have fetch cycle issues."
"Axonius can improve on delivering compliance-related features."
"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."
"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."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"OneTrust GRC's workflows aren't automated and need to be manually driven."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"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."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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