What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

The platform offers ready-made templates for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), policies, and risk assessments, which saved me a lot of time. I also really appreciate the built-in training modules that help educate the team without needing external sessions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

While PrivacyEngine is very helpful overall, I think the reporting/dashboard section could be a bit more flexible and customizable. Sometimes I want to visualize specific metrics or export data in different formats, and the current setup feels a little limited. It’s not a dealbreaker, but I’d love to see more advanced reporting features in future updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PrivacyEngine helps solve the challenge of staying compliant with data protection regulations like GDPR without needing to be a legal expert. It centralizes everything—policies, assessments, records of processing activities—in one place, which makes it much easier to keep track of requirements and avoid manual errors. As a tech writer, this benefits me by giving me a clear, structured overview of our compliance practices, so I can create accurate, up-to-date documentation with confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

I think I like everything about the product and the way it guides anyone, regardless of background, in tackling GDPR related topics. In a lot of cases logging the information properly can be challenging for most, especially if Excel is their choice. Excel is a great product dopn't get me wrong, but this is better suited for GDPR tasks. Lightyears better.

Great interface, very well written explanations and clear directions on usage. Support is good you get fast replies. Overall a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

Have been using it for 2-3 weeks now and the only thing I noticed was that sometimes clicking on an item feels a bit sluggish. So for example opening the RoPA section or any other section lags. Not always but now and then it does feel a bit slow in its reponse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

What makes PrivacyEngine so great is that it solves the problem of data privacy and compliance. I find it much simpler in handling data subject requests which are mostly a tedious process. Its compatibility with our other systems is also very helpful because it eliminates jobs that would otherwise have to be done by hand. Another strength is the reporting capabilities that are very useful to guarantee that the company complies with GDPR at all time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

The primary drawback of PrivacyEngine is a user interface that seems rather old fashioned and which can sometimes be somewhat challenging to wade through. This has created some problems in the team because it is difficult to explain where to find given features when orienting a new team member. Also, though it is good to work with data requests, there are no more sophisticated characteristics for working with data mapping and audit trails, therefore we continue to use other applications for these purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I think that PrivacyEngine has really provided the solution to the issue of dealing with data subject requests and adhering to the GDPR. It reduces manual work and makes us able to respond faster and that is very important in compliance. It also enhances the levels of transparency in protecting our data by providing the clients with detailed reports of the practices we undertake. It has greatly eased the burden and complication of compliance for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PrivacyEngine?

I am a privacy specialist with more than two decades of working in this space. It can get very confusing with all the new laws coming down the line and not many people in my workplace would know more than me about this area so using the platform and using their support functionality to bounce ideas around has proven invaluable over the last year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrivacyEngine?

It is a very large platform with a lot of functionality so it takes a while to learn. However, the more you use it the easier it becomes and I have reached out a few time to the team for support and they have always fixed the problem immediately. The team are very well versed in the workings of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using PrivacyEngine for their policies - the platform has a policy template for practically everything and they are well written and you can tell that someone has taken the time to read and correct them and they are not ChatGPT automatically generated documents.

I also use the RoPA functionality as in my organisation there is a huge amount of processing of CVs and personal data and we need to store these for various durations. keeping a RoPA on the platform simplifies this whole issue for me especially around version control and understanding where the personal data is currently stored and secured. it is a huge load off.

I also use the platform to conduct and store all my data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) this is for a clear audit trail of I ever need it. Again having everything up to date and knowing it is the latest version is invaluable to me. I also like PRivacyPulse as it cuts out all the fluff when keeping up to date with privacy regualtions worldwide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
