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…
Osama Saleh - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides a lot of useful information and helps in managing risks and controls
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. They need to invest heavily in business planning and consolidation. They have a BPC tool, which is known for planning and consolidation, but its implementation consumes a lot of effort. It is not that easy to implement. It would be better if they come up with a solution that is more user-friendly and easy to integrate so that we can have multiple consolidations or versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OneTrust GRC is stable."
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"Vendors can be assessed and rated out of the tool, and assessments can be scheduled for updates at certain intervals."
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"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."
"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"
"One of the valuable features of this solution is it has the ability to review fourth and fifth parties to the nth degree."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"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."
"The stability of SAP BusinessObjects GRC is acceptable."
"We have enterprise clients for the product."
 

Cons

"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"I wish there were more customization options, particularly within the privacy rights automation module."
"There are limitations to customized workflow automation, and they need to increase both the available automation and the customized workflow."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"There could be enhancements related to AI."
"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."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
"I am working on features that are not functioning as expected, which creates significant difficulties in management."
"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."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"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."
"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I found the pricing and setup cost very reasonable."
"The platform is expensive."
"OneTrust GRC's licensing costs about $15,000 per module."
"OneTrust GRC is an expensive solution."
"The solution 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."
"The license is costly."
"SAP BusinessObjects GRC is expensive."
