"Making cookie use easy to manage"
What do you like best about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

- Easy to use functionality once you get the hang of it

- Account managers and support team are easy to contact if you have any issues

- Health check a few months into implementation - this really helped with making sure everything was set up asit should, and even gave me further recommendations on how to fully utilise the tool

- Re-scans of cookies dropped on the website can be scheduled and an email sent to your inbox so you know when to go back into CookiePro to re-categorise any new cookies

- Integrated with cookiepedia which does the majority of the heavy lifting for you when defining what cookies on your website do what Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

- For the CookiePro software, it can seem a bit overwhelming at first as you are shown all modules when you log in to OneTrust - not just the ones you pay a subscription for

- There are loads of guides online, but it would be useful if there was a 'quick start' guide or something similar to learn the basics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

"Great experience learning the OneTrust ropes!"
What do you like best about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

The user interface style is the most pleasing part of using the tool. Overall, the tools have a large amount of options and enough tool tips to ensure that the user is aware of what he's doing and how it may affect other portions of the program. The certification trainings also did a great job of ensuring class participation by periodically having moments where we could all answer class questions together, and then review the answers to determine why answers may be right/wrong. With the sheer amount of material to be absorbed however, I found the handbook to the training to not be quite so helpful for the exams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

It can be a bit overwhelming to understand where all the tools are located, and which pages are relevant to certain tasks. Having used the program as part of my Professional Management training, I found that the program in of itself was incredibly well made, and provides a massive amount of opportunities to the user. However, it would definitely help to have "first time tutorial" pop-ups with certain pages/tools which would help alleviate some confusion from those using the program the first few times.

"A tool with a good library of frameworks, data privacy regulations and customizable on a good level."
What do you like best about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

The amount of information available with the platform is amazing, since the field of their expertise, which is Privacy Regulations to IT Security and Controls frameworks. Something that is also very good is the automation of assessments, where you can configure the reactions for each answer provided in a questionnaire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

The reporting option is very poor. It's possible to generate a pdf report according to some fields added as needed, or export a excel file (list of risks for instance). The layout of the pdf report is limited and not well presented.

The management of roles and permissions of users and groups is very confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OneTrust offers the capabilities we need as an organization."
What do you like best about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

The software is simple to use & lowers the learning curve for someone new to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OneTrust Privacy Automation?

OneTrust as an organization has a poor implementation team. They do not have project plans & often rely on the customer to indicate what needs to be completed next. If they want to further broaden their deployments & satisfy their customers, they need to build better PM bench strength. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
