Openli

Avantages

I like how Openli relieves a lot of work from our Compliance function, whilst at the same time adding value through their expertise and experience. Openli enables scalability.

Openli provide cutting edge information, webinars and news about GDPR and evolving data protection laws, too. These are hugely useful.

Inconvénients

I think a simpler stats indicator with universal nomenclature (not started, in progress, done) for vendor assessments would be good.

Avantages

The ease of use and efficient and effective customer support i recieved.

Inconvénients

Hard to say, whilst LegalMonster did everything right to help me be compliant there was an issue with our website provider that conflicted with LegalMonster doing its job, however they have done everything to help me overcome this obstacle, going above and beyond what is required to ensure I am helped.

Avantages

The widget is easy to install if you don’t need to customize it. They offer a barebones API to integrate more advanced functionality.

Inconvénients

During the first usage I found a bug and reported it. It’s just a small thing but it makes the cookie policy looks unprofessional. The bug still hasn’t been fixed up until today (12 days later) which is a bit disappointing, to say the least. Even more disappointingly, the cookie consent widget is not accessible at all (i.e. not following ANY of the accessibility best practices) and the Legal Monster support doesn’t care about that issue either (they did not even want to consider changing anything about it).

Avantages

I love this platform, from the minute I signed up they have always been so supportive and guided me through the set-up. The staff are friendly helpful and always there it is like working with colleagues not just a software provider.

Inconvénients

It was easy to integrate. The staff engaged with it which means ALOT! I would like to see more features developed to aid compliance and governance. For example - data mapping or cataloguing!

Avantages

Beautiful designed. Plenty of customisations. Easy administration.

Inconvénients

Self-removal of outdated cookies. Possibility to remove crawl IP's from analytics.

Avantages

Ease of integration
Support from the team
Country specific widgets for Cookies/T&Cs/Privacy
Handles updates to documents seemlessly

Inconvénients

Costs for lots of regions but talk to them about your challenges and they can advise you of what you need and what you don't.

Avantages

I like how they have managed to build a product that solves this use case fully automated and responsive once the initial configuration/setup is in place.

Inconvénients

I genuinely believe that I am fully covered with the current solution. So I don´t feel that anything is missing.

Avantages

It was really simple for us to setup and he haven't had any issues with it. Just simple and smooth user experience.

Inconvénients

There is nothing we dislike about the software.

Avantages

What we enjoyed the most about the software was how easy it was to implament, thus making us fully compliant.

Inconvénients

If anything, it would be customization - it has a wide range of customization, but 'more is more' in this case.

Avantages

Legal monster basically takes away all the hassle of cookie management and consent collection. Incredibly easy to implement and all the support you need to succeed.

Inconvénients

Initially it wasn't possible to remove/customize their icon, but that has been fixed now.

Avantages

I tried one or two software prior to Legal Monster and I find this easiest to use and integrate in my site. I do not have to be a programmer to make it work. With the others, it felt like it was half-baked and I had really difficulty making them work. Well. I am such a newbie in WordPress and had to develop a profile site for my Digital marketing course, so maybe that can be a reason. But Legal Monster was very simple that it came with real ease. As I do not have any transactional things on my site or any subscription services at the moment, and simply collect cookies for my analytics, I just use the free version. Nevertheless, the experience from the time I created my account to integration to my website went smooth...and the software is still smoothly running. The instructions provided were pretty clear and the prompts to update the policies to ensure that one conforms to GDPR is pretty good. And I like how it looks on my site...It's not overly intrusive, yet can be clearly see.

Inconvénients

I have not had any bad experience, so I have not seen any cons until now. So far I have had only a positive experience.

Avantages

The Cookie solution is quite easy to install and activate on your WEB site. The user needs to consent for the non mandatory cookies which is stored for legal purposes. Great solution to be legally compliant with the rules for Cookies management. An other nice feature is that your WEB site is scanned, on regular bases, to see if any new Cookies are attached to your WEB site, you get a report of that so that you can adapt your policy.

Inconvénients

The Legal Cookie Icon is quite large, should be nice to be able to make it smaller. But that's the only topic I can think of.

Avantages

The Audit Trail feature in particular caught our attention, allowing for easy and seamless audit of permissions given by your site users over time. Generating the cookie policy was easy with the built-in functions. Implementing of base features was simple and fast. Customer support was also a treat, even during our free trial period.

Inconvénients

We had some teething problems during our test phase due to slightly overzealous cookie scan. However, these were very quickly fixed after contacting support.

Pourquoi choisir Openli 

Avantages

I use the product at my webshop for my customers to accept cookies.
It is well integrated in the same colours as in my webshop.

Inconvénients

I dont really have given this issue ant thoughts

Avantages

Cookie module is easy to use and does not require maintenance. The privacy hub is still new to us but appears very promising.

Inconvénients

Product could be expanded to be an entire GRC solution to benefit from all the possible synergies.

Avantages

The ability to achieve 360-degree GDPR compliance for an affordable price, while being supported by a professional and responsive support team!

Inconvénients

It could provide a better overview of what all the specific steps required are to achieve GDPR compliance are (Cookie Policy, Cookie Widget, Privacy Policy, Terms, DPA, Sub-processor overview, risk assessments). The platform currently only nudges you to make some of these. Maybe an intro-video that explains it in a nutshell would be great!

Avantages

It was super easy and effective to setup in collaboration with the support team.

Inconvénients

We didn't have any obstacles setting it up. Which was superb!

Avantages

Fast setup (everything considered), access to your own privacy manager, easily sharable vendor lists, and privacy profile

Inconvénients

The pricing model was not completely clear as we onboarded, which ended up increasing the monthly fee straight out the gate. However, considering the ROI from newly closed deals with the help of Openli, this is a minor gripe.

Avantages

We are a small company at present and we have been looking for a solution like Legal Monster for some time. The simplicity of the solution is brilliant and it takes a lot of work out of our small team's hands and frees up our time to focus on our own product and offering. We know where we stand with compliance and the implementation was straight forward also. Sales process straight forward. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] were excellent through procurement and set up.

Inconvénients

In time, we would love a more customisable front-end and acceptance poke-points.

Avantages

The ease of use
Frequent update of cookie policy

Inconvénients

I don't feel like there were any features missing.

Avantages

The software makes the GDPR efforts clear, easy, transparent and manageable. With the overview one can easily see what kind of vendors we use and their efforts into compliance.

Inconvénients

I have not experienced any cons with Openli yet.

Avantages

Customer support ([SENSITIVE CONTENT] provided first class support). Ease of use. Price.

Inconvénients

None, nothing, nihil, nil, zero. There is absolutely nothing I dislike about this software.

Avantages

At ITGuy we searched for a solution where we could noted all our contractors and keep track of where data is stored. That helped Openli with.

Inconvénients

At the moment where havent found anything we dont like.

Avantages

Legal Monster is easy to install, and use compared to another cookie compliance program. You can personalize your pop-up, so it matches your brands color and country language.

On top of this Legal Monster also provide help with your Privacy Policy and other GDPR compliance.

Inconvénients

The system finds most of your cookies on the site automatic which is super nice and expectable for a cookie compliance program. But it does not automatic find a purpose for the specific cookie. This means if you want to be 100% compliant you must find out you self. I know this is a tricky assignment for them.

Avantages

The Openli vendors page gives a great overview of vendors and most things related to GDPR compliance. The page is easy to navigate and the team is ready to assist at their earliest convenience.

Lucy and team have been a great help when setting up the company profile.

Inconvénients

There is nothing so far that I find can be improved.
