Optimizing time and effort through comprehensive auditing features
Netwrix Auditor doesn't have many competitors at the level in which it is placed. All other companies provide auditing solutions but not up to the feature list; it is very broad and robust. The best features include flexibility to interact directly with MS-SQL. Real-time alerts help identify potential security threats. The ability to streamline audits with insights into configuration states is helpful, as the access reviews and audit reports are really insightful. This is a good tool. The search functionality is available, but comparative to other vendors, this is a bit slower. Reports are effective; the compliance reports and all the reports are very insightful. That is good.

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

"The most valuable feature is the real-time monitoring."
"I have found user behavior analysis and the ability to run risk assessments important features. Additionally, the interface and online documentation are very good."
"The most valuable features of Netwrix Auditor are its affordability compared to similar products and its comprehensive monitoring of admin activities."
"What I find the most valuable about Netwrix Auditor is the way it shows risk. The reports are very clear."
"Netwrix provides features that no other solution on the market does."
"Netwrix Auditor doesn't have many competitors at the level in which it is placed; all other companies provide auditing solutions but not up to the feature list—it is very broad and robust."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature and notifications."
"It maintains audit logs for the duration of time that you wish, as long as you have the storage capacity to do so."
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"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."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"The simplicity of OneTrust GRC, particularly its user interface, is valuable as it makes it easy to use and not complex."
"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."
 

Cons

"I expect usability features to become more refined over time. I'm interested to see how it evolves and continues to improve."
"In the UI, we have to adjust and resize our console many times, and sometimes it appears, sometimes you have to close and open it, and sometimes it does not give a scroll bar to navigate."
"There is room for improvements when it comes to the licensing."
"The Linux compatibility of this solution could be improved."
"The solution lacks self-service on password reset. It also needs to improve its scalability."
"When there are issues I would like remediation to be in one place."
"If you buy direct, there is a minimum of 150 licenses that must be procured. The price point and barrier of entry is a little bit higher than it would be if you purchased the solution from an authorized reseller partner, rather than buying it and managing yourself."
"An improvement would be if there was an another way to manage the logs besides email because it's not so practical."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"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."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"The product is not that easy to set up."
"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"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."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"I wish there were more customization options, particularly within the privacy rights automation module."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is reasonably priced. I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The tool's price is fair."
"There is a license for this solution and we are on an annual license. The price is reasonable."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"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."
"The platform is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
