OneTrust Privacy Automation Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about OneTrust Privacy Automation is its ability to centralize and streamline complex privacy workflows across global regulations. The platform offers a wide range of pre-built templates and automation features that significantly reduce manual effort, especially for tasks like Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), records of processing activities (RoPAs), and cookie consent management.

The integration capabilities are also impressive — OneTrust connects well with common data systems, allowing for more accurate data mapping and easier risk assessments. I also appreciate the frequent updates to reflect changing global privacy laws, which helps ensure compliance without needing constant manual monitoring.

The user interface is modern and relatively intuitive, and the modular setup lets organizations scale based on their needs — from small teams to enterprise-wide programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While OneTrust is a powerful platform, it can be overwhelming to implement and navigate, especially for new users or smaller teams. The sheer number of modules and customization options, while useful, can make the initial setup complex and time-consuming without dedicated support or training.

Additionally, some users may find the pricing model a bit opaque — costs can add up quickly as you add more modules or scale usage across departments. There’s also a learning curve associated with configuring automation rules and integrating with internal systems, which may require technical expertise or consulting support.

Finally, while the interface is modern, certain workflows (like RoPA generation or DPIAs) could benefit from more intuitive navigation or clearer guidance within the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The One Trust Privacy Automation module is intuitive and easy to configure. The platform is reliable and stable - I have not experienced any outages or other concerns. Handling privacy requests properly is critical to stay compliant and I feel confident that this can be achieved using the One Trust platform. In the course of the 5 years - I've had good and not so good support since we did not purchase the Enterprise Support. However, I have been very happy with our new Account Representative and the additional features available for support (access to support calls, support calendars).

I would like to see better out of the box reporting using the Dashboards and Reports. The Dashboard graph options are somewhat limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tools are configured with privacy minded individuals. Privacy Assessments are easy to configure if you want to create your own, or you can use out of the box assessments that are pretty good depending on the size of your business. Answers are collected and stored in the Data Mapping tool, where you have the ability to create reports, or again use out of the box reports for things like your RoPA.

I don't dislike anything, I have features that I would like to see that have not been implemented yet. A true non-production to production process where you can migrate data after it's been tested properly is the #1 feature the tool does not have today, making you make changes directly in production.
