Managing compliance requests becomes efficient while peace of mind increases
The best features Kertos offers include the efficiency around having all our tools connected in one place, which gives us access to all the GDPR requests in one tool instead of in dedicated silos. Kertos makes it very easy for us and very time efficient to manage all things GDPR and compliance. Having everything in one place has helped our team by making the legwork in the GDPR and compliance field very efficient for us. Our team can focus on more strategic initiatives and really on the structure. They have way more time to focus on specific edge cases rather than spending the day doing the legwork, and this has saved our company quite a bit of money that we would otherwise have had to spend on additional resources. Kertos has positively impacted our organization by saving us time; without Kertos, to work on the volume of GDPR and compliance topics that we incur day-to-day, we would have to employ at least two or three more people full-time. This is definitely a huge saving on that end. Beyond that, Kertos has really given us a lot of confidence and peace of mind around compliance and GDPR topics because as a manager, I can simply log in and have all compliance and GDPR topics in one dashboard. I am definitely on top of things and know what's going on, whether we're compliant or whether we have open issues that we need to tackle, which has really helped us in terms of confidence and also ultimately our customers, as they can rely on fast responses in time-sensitive matters.

Consent and cookies modules have enhanced the integration of data protection strategies despite challenges
There should be more customization options, as many things are restricted. This customization should suit individual needs, allowing for more UI customization, especially during consent collection. Also, improvements in data discovery and classification are needed, with the use of AI-oriented data discovery and more robust PDF file scanning capabilities. The scalability could be improved, particularly in detailed customization beyond the standard offering. Stability issues, like unexpected backend actions or data loss during updates, need to be addressed.
