What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

There are so many positive things about PrivacyEngine its hard to narrow it down. I love the support function where I can ask questions directly to the Team and get quick and informative responses. The information and training sections are invaluable, being able to create and send out training to all employees, track who has completed it and ping those who haven't yet makes GDPR awareness so much easier. Honestly it's easier to say what I dislike about the site, which is nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

The only down side to the site is that sometimes the functionality of different sections could be sped up. For example, the Programme of Work template has so many tasks which isnt an issue, but going through and updating all the tasks takes a long time as the transitions from one section to another is a bit bulky. There are also sections of the site that are difficult to use form a user POV - some sections will disappear off the screen so that something that needs to be clicked cant be cliked - but these issues are so tiny that it doesn't really impact my use of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PrivacyEngine is essentially solving all of our GDPR problems. It is an amazing one-stop-shop that covers everything that we need from a GDPR POV, as well as being able to use the Risk Register and other functions for other areas of work. The updates and the Ninjio videos are also incredibly helpful to show to employees to get GDPR awareness up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

the training platform is less useful to me. mainly because the trainings are not translated and thus not accessible to all employees.it would be helpful if the trainings were available in multiple languages. After all, these are well-structured trainings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

The system is so user-friendly. The training structure allows learning in small bite-size chunks which makes is a lot more enticing and promotes more engagement. The team at PrivacyEngine are fantastic. Rebekah is our account manager and she is absolutely brilliant, She takes time to show us new features and loves to hear feedback or suggestions. She explains things at a really comfortable pace and is always willing to answer any questions we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

It logs you out when not being used (idle time), and if this happens it can be glitchy logging back in. This has only happened on 2 occassions so its not a huge issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

The Privacy Engine platform has been a most useful tool since 2018 in ensuring the business is best placed to manage its data protection obligations. The training available to be distributed to employees is of a very high standard and managing the process from start to finish for each user is made very easy. Having the policies, reporting and support in one place and readily accessible is both reassuring and really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

There are no obvious downsides to using PrivacyEngine. The output will be as useful as the information put in to the system so time is required to ensure that everything is entered correctly and accurately to ensure that risks are reported accurately. finding the time to do this is an external issue and not a problem for PrivacyEngine to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having data protection consultants available and providing useful and realistic advice is worth the subscription cost alone. Regular training updates and focussed modules for specific departments is a new and useful feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Robbie Memery of PrivacyEngine

Thank you for your review! It is encouraging to hear that PrivacyEngine is providing useful and realistic advice from data protection consultants and that the training modules are of a high standard. We are glad that our platform is helping you manage your data protection obligations in a more efficient and secure manner. We are constantly striving to improve the platform and provide the best user experience possible. Thank you for your feedback!

What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

The layout is simple and easy to navigate and allows us an easy platform to add our data to. With useful webinars and helpful onboarding videos it has a postive impact on our working day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

Although the data can be entered easily we would prefer a clearer pulling tool (selecting columns to add to excel rather then exporting all) the date sorting can also be confused at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows us to organise and keep track easliy of our Data Subject Requests as well giving us the option to update the requests. We can see clearly how many we have pending, granted, withdrawn and denied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
