What do you like best about Osano?

We recently transitioned from internal cookie management to using Osano’s API, and it was a smooth and straightforward process. The implementation was relatively easy on our end, and the level of support we received was wonderful. The Osano team was always readily available to answer questions and provided clear, friendly guidance throughout. Their account and technical support made the move seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend Osano for reliable, user-friendly cookie management solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Osano?

While our overall experience with Osano has been positive, we found that the UX of the analytics dashboard could use some improvement. The interface could be more intuitive, and greater ability for data manipulation would help make insights easier to access and act upon. Enhancing the analytics experience would elevate Osano's platform even further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Osano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Utilizing more out-of-the box solutions vs, building our own functionality where it makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't really say I have an issue with Osano at this point. I'm very happy with our partnership! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Osano solving and how is that benefiting you?

We previously used UserCentrics, but they were too focused on the European Union and we needed a focus on the United States more. Osano is just so easy to implement and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Osano?

Everyone I have worked with at Osano is a total pro. They know what they are doing, the make things easy and they are very knowledgable. Implementation was super easy and our sales rep Steven went above and beyond to share additional information that we needed to make the case for using Osano. I've worked with other cookie consent providers who make things way too complicated and take months to implement. Highly recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Osano?

The cost is higher than other providers, but it's totally worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Osano?

The tool itself is easy to configure and manage. But even more important to me is the service and support from their team, which is first-rate.

Whether I needed technical direction or input on some of my configuration choices, the team responded quickly and thoughtfully, also providing resources from their excellent knowledge base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Osano?

Since consent topics are so complex and dense, I can get overwhelmed by the decisions I need to make about my configuration (this is a universal issue with all CMPs). Osano's knowledge base and support team have been incredibly helpful in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Osano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Osano offloads the heavy lifting of consent management. Most SMBs can't do this in-house, so it's important to find a tool that's backed by people you can trust. Osano is this tool for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Merry Austin of Osano

Hi Ben,

Thank you for the glowing review and kind words about our customer team! We're thrilled to hear that you find Osano easy to configure and manage, and that our team has provided you with top-notch service and support.

We understand that consent topics can be overwhelming, but we're glad to hear that our knowledge base and support team have been incredibly helpful to you in navigating through these complexities. We're here to offload the heavy lifting of consent management for you, and we're grateful to be the tool you trust for your business.

What do you like best about Osano?

Osano makes it incredibly easy to manage compliance and with their rules functionality you can classify large quanties of scripts, cookies, and iframes with a single rule. Their support team has always been responsive, training videos were very helpful, and I'm happy we use them for our SaaS product. For our tech team, it's incredibly easy to publish a new configuration as needed. Keep it up! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Osano?

There are some limitations on reports that I am unable to filter out deleted configurations prior to exporting data and as we use Osano for enterprise clients of ours, each with their own domain, we have no way have a set of shared rules across domains/configurations meaning slightly more administration work as we have 1 configuration per enterprise client, but the rules feature helps offset this admin work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Osano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Osano allows us to scale our software with our enterprise customers in a colmpliant manner around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Osano?

I like how robust Osano is compared to other competitors I've worked with. The cookie, script, and iframe classification system is significantly more automated than other CMPs. Also, the implementation was smooth and our onboarding manager was incredibly helpful. She was very knowledgeable and quick to address questions and concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Osano?

The only issue I had was the original quote I received. Our monthly traffic was given to the sales rep who then recommended a specific tier of service. Months into our contract, our subscription increased because we started seeing much more traffic. I wish this would have been outlined more clearly during the sales process, but am grateful for our customer success manager who helped us make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Osano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Osano is helping us to protect our customers' privacy. With all of the current and forthcoming legislation about data privacy, it has been wonderful to partner with Osano to help us protect our customers as well as our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Merry Austin of Osano

Thank you for the positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you find Osano robust and that the implementation was smooth. We apologize for any confusion with the original quote and are grateful for your understanding as we work to improve our sales process.

Thank you for choosing Osano!

Ease of delpoyment, simple configuration setup and the fact that our devs don't need to make adjustments to the appearance of the UI elements is huge! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some elements I do wish were more flexible, but overall, Osano has met our needs well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Osano solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have thousands of active websites, so we needed a solution that was simple to implement and scale. Finding Osano was huge for us in that someone non-technical can do 99% of the work to get sites up and running without engineering intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Osano?

Osano's ability to dynamically generate the proper language and rules via location make it ideal for our business needs. It takes the headaches out of compliance. It was super easy to implement and if you have questions their support team is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Osano?

If there's one thing that could be improved it would be to offer even greater customization based on corporate requirements and not just laws, This won't affect 95% of folks but for those that have special use case needs might cause issues. One other drawback is it can be a bit on the pricey side for some of our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Osano solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps is remain compliant across the globe without having to worry about managing the day to day global laws. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
