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.

Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.
