Featured Reviews

Gerald Pegg - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

Experienced security and easy understanding with advanced customization enhances efficiency
Regarding automation, they could enhance features for checking real-time data when someone attempts to access data without proper permissions. Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong. Having prevention alerts immediately when someone triggers unauthorized actions would allow us to address these situations proactively.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The simplicity of OneTrust GRC, particularly its user interface, is valuable as it makes it easy to use and not complex."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"It does help in the automation of our privacy impact assessments."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it already has visibility about all the data protection regulations or other cybersecurity regulations related to several countries"
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"OneTrust GRC is stable."
"The privacy impact assessment automation tool and the incident management tool are very user-friendly."
"The customization options in the dashboards inside SAP BusinessObjects GRC are highly valuable, and the real-time monitoring feature performs effectively, allowing teams to maintain data security by restricting domain visibility."
"We have enterprise clients for the product."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"The stability of SAP BusinessObjects GRC is acceptable."
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles. From the user perspective, you get to know what are the permission risks and access risks. You get a lot of useful information."
"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."
 

Cons

"The platform was not built in a way that allowed multinational entities to use it seamlessly."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"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."
"They could enhance the product's functionalities like audit management and ensure consistency across modules."
"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."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"There could be enhancements related to AI."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great."
"Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong."
"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
"I am working on features that are not functioning as expected, which creates significant difficulties in management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is expensive."
"The platform is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
"The license is costly."
"SAP BusinessObjects GRC is expensive."
"There is a yearly licensing cost. I would rate their pricing 4 out of 5."
"The product's licensing costs involve a one-time purchase. The tool also allows others to make annual payments towards the licensing charges of the product."
