Data Privacy Consultant

Being able to hook it into Microsoft 365, ServiceNow, and Jira saved a lot of time and avoided duplicated effort between teams. Once it's set up, it becomes a central privacy hub that supports collaboration across legal, compliance, security, and even procurement.

Cultural mediator

The flexibility of the risk assessment templates and frequent monitoring tools have enabled us to have updated information about risks inherent and have a concrete way of dealing with them before they happen.​

Purchasing Analyst

Ethics Policy Management from OneTrust has been very useful for our company as it helps to manage policies in one place. Since adopting a system that enables policy authoring and management panel, the distribution of policies has become much easier.

Management

I often appreciate OneTrust for its all‑in‑one approach to privacy, security, and compliance, which reduces the need for multiple disconnected tools.

For example, we started with basic data mapping and DPIA workflows, and later added vendor risk assessments and some of the AI governance tools.

Senior Demand Planner

The setup of initial consent banners and preference centers requires finer work due to the complexity of various area codes of regulations. If not properly addressed, this can lead to long implementation periods.​

Synchronization problems occur and this makes vendors’ information not to tally on the system which is resolved by manual verification.​

I also found that configuring and maintaining the platform requires significant time and effort, especially for smaller teams.

Cloud Engineer

I like the geolocation feature for presenting different cookies/policies depending on the region.

What’s even more frustrating is the contrast: the team was very proactive when it came to contract renewal. But once the contract is signed and paid for, you’re left alone, even if you can’t access the service at all. If you’re a small or medium-sized company, I strongly do not recommend working with OneTrust.

Also, it can be sluggish at times—especially if you're dealing with large volumes of processing records or complex workflows.

Their support structure seems designed for large enterprises, and they don’t care when smaller clients are stuck.

HR Analyst

I like the country-specific guidance on data protection and privacy laws across multiple jurisdictions.

Associate

I'm certain to find all data privacy news and updates on One Trust, including easy access to primary sources.

Internal Auditor - Data Analyst

I am an Internal Auditor and Data Analyst in a big German company with locations for sales and manufacturing all over the globe.

Templates are built in, but you can tweak them to suit your own use cases.

The platform has a lot going on, and unless you’ve got someone on the team who’s either done it before or is willing to go deep into configuration, it can feel quite heavy.

The base platform covers the essentials, but anything more advanced usually comes with an extra price tag.

IT Manager

I ve been unable to test the AI copilot its giving an error even after i retry

Budgeting OneTrust is difficult for smaller companies.

I wish OneTrust could handle multi-languages better.

software developer

It takes a bit of time to get used to navigating all the features.

The platform is very user-friendly, and the tools it offers for compliance are top-notch.

DataGuidance delivers up-to-date information about legal changes world wide.

Financial Controller

The thing I liked least about OneTrust is mostly related to the accounting side of things.

Their customer support is also pretty responsive whenever I’ve had questions.

I was passed around between contacts without any resolution.

IT Engineer

A critical tool like this should come with reliable, accountable support.

Operations Manager

It has helped us centralize our data privacy efforts.

Application lead

It cannot be fully utilized by novice and requires training for maximum usage

I would like One Trust to improve on this aspect of its coverage.

Easy to use interface and support for GDPR and CCPA.

GDPR Advisor

Colleagues in other Privacy-related teams also use it to track consumers' consent successfully.

Internal Auditor

Most of the core features needed to operate a successful compliance and audit department The customer service from this company is great. If I have a question I get a fast response with an offer to hop on a call for training.

Perfect to run a Data Privacy programme even in large organizations.

President & CEO

Most important for us was our ability to house all our Soc2 Type2 required documents into a single platform.

Développeur

I got a big size issue with OneTrust on iOS / Flutter, making the app 40 Mo heavier than expected, the question has been unanswered since 1 month, and it seems other questions get ghosted.

It certainly is making our organisation a lot more secure. If we were to manage ISO 27001 compliance without Tugboat it would cost us many hours and salaries, so it is also a money saver.

Business Administrator

The compliance certification review team did not have full knowledge or understanding of the Tugboat database and had a difficult time understanding the navigation system upon purchase.  

Head of Procurement

We compared a number of options to procure OneTrust and are glad we made the decision.

Data Labeling  specialist 

The other tools in the market have more tools for risk and compliance and audit tasks.

We use it for GDPR and compliance related issues.

IT Director

Training of documents is not possible for controls/procedures.

PCI and SOC compliance is key in our industry.
