Featured Reviews

Brooke Lynne Bowman - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Compliance Manager at a healthcare company with 201-500 employees
Rapid compliance program development simplifies complex startup environments
The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance. It can be confusing for individuals who need to understand the scope of regulatory controls and requirements. This complexity can be frustrating both internally and with implementation experts. Additionally, scalability can be overwhelming for smaller organizations.
Vishal Guthula - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Advanced Analytics Analyst at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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 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"
"As a solution for IT risks, it is a very good product."
"The product helps us streamline audit and incident management processes."
"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."
"The platform is especially useful in startup environments where we're typically starting from scratch."
"The biggest plus for us is that everything we need for our Privacy Program is in one single tool."
"We receive notifications or cases and prioritize them accordingly, which helps us address issues promptly."
"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."
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"We have enterprise clients for the product."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."
"It improved the organization's reporting culture, giving us insights into health, management, and operational results."
"The stability of SAP BusinessObjects GRC is acceptable."
"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."
 

Cons

"I haven't seen any return on investment using the solution. If I had the opportunity, I would use a different solution."
"For the Vendor Risk Module I see only minor functionality improvements needed."
"The Vendor Risk dashboard is quite basic today and not interactive, but improvements are in coming the next releases."
"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."
"The implementation of OneTrust could have been smoother, particularly in terms of scoping for those outside of governance, risk, and compliance."
"We encounter difficulties creating multiple platforms or interfaces and manual processes for changing certain settings."
"I wish there were more customization options, particularly within the privacy rights automation module."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
"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."
"I am working on features that are not functioning as expected, which creates significant difficulties in management."
"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."
"Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong."
"The learning curve is high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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