"TrustArc + GTM is a well made match"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TrustArc?

TrustArc's Consent Mode template was well thought out and made to make it easy for marketers to apply consent mode to GTM tags. Working with the TrustArc team and engineers it's also clear that they really care to hear about their integrations and tools so they can look for ways to improve. TrustArc makes it easy to setup geo specific cookie consent groups and implement the core scritps to your website or via GTM (or some other tag management platform). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

TrustArc's default cookie is an implied state rather than what user consent to. Once users consent a cmpai_cookie_privacy cookie is set and that is great but when you want impleied consent to be granted by default for certain geo locations this becomes challenging to setup GTM tags for multiple geo groups such as EU vs US vs US California. Other than that, I'm impressed with their tool, integration with GTM, and well written documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful Support and Easy Integration, but Modules Could Be Better Connected"
4/5
What do you like best about TrustArc?

The support team within TrustArc are very helpful and always on hand to assist with issues, irrespective of how big or small they may be. Additionally, the platform’s ease of integration makes it simple to incorporate into existing processes and systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

I dislike that the Assessments module and the Vendor module operate as separate systems. This separation makes it difficult to link assessments to vendors within the platform unless both modules are purchased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annie Greenley-Giudici of TrustArc

Thank you for the review! I gave your feedback to our product team, but if you'd like to discuss anything further, please don't hesitate to reach out (annie@trustarc.com). Thanks again!

"Helpful privacy assurance tool for compliance and user trust"
3.5/5
What do you like best about TrustArc?

We use the TRUSTe Certified Privacy seal on our website, and it's been a straightforward way to show users that we take data privacy seriously. The certification process was smooth, and having the seal visible helps reinforce user trust. I also appreciate that it’s backed by TrustArc’s reputation, it gives our compliance team peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

The portal could be more intuitive when navigating compliance documentation or settings. It's not overly complicated, but it took a bit of trial and error to figure out where everything was. Once we got the hang of it, though, it’s been fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annie Greenley-Giudici of TrustArc

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Diana! We'd love to hear more about your experience and how we can make the navigation process easier. Feel free to reach out to me at annie@trustarc.com and I'll connect you with someone from our product team. Thanks again!

"TrustArc Cookie Consent Manager Admin and support."
3.5/5
What do you like best about TrustArc?

Dedicated support and handling support cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

TrustArc takes long time or almost impossible to consider customer feedback and make changes to product. very basic functionality like search by CMID is not available in CCM Admin Portal. Search feature is not up to the mark.

11/4/25: 1. Still unable to search by CMID 2. Duplicate / orphaned CM instances exist. If user deletes unique URLs, the entire CM instance should be deleted automatically. Why to keep empty instance with just template Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Annie Greenley-Giudici of TrustArc

Thank you for sharing your feedback on Cookie Consent Manager! I'm told by our Director, Technical Account Manager that we already have an improvement request filed for the search feature so that's something you should see in the near future. We'd love to hear more from you so please reach out to me at annie@trustarc.com and I'll connect you directly with our Director, Technical Account Manager so we can learn about other ways to improve the product.

3.5/5
What do you like best about TrustArc?

Our organization only uses the Enterprise Cert and GDPR Validation. They are invaluable during vendor assessments and due diligence, as it serves as instant, verified proof of our commitment to data privacy and that our practices align with GDPR requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

The assessment platform can be clunky at times. It is difficult to navigate through questions and review previous assessments. Also the task remediation process is not intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Supportive Team and Comprehensive Consent Management"
4/5
What do you like best about TrustArc?

I really appreciated the support from TrustArc's team during setup and ongoing use. The cookie consent management's detailed breakdown, user consent options, and data storage capabilities are beneficial. TrustArc seamlessly integrates with our WordPress backend, aiding in comprehensive consent management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TrustArc?

At the beginning, I experienced challenges adapting to the new tool, which required considerable hand-holding and training initially. Additionally, I feel TrustArc could benefit from more on-demand informational videos to facilitate learning about the tool without the necessity of scheduling calls every time.
