Celonis vs. OneTrust Tech Risk & Compliance

Celonis is helping [...] to gain greater transparency and control over complex business processes by connecting data across systems and revealing how work is actually executed. The platform supports proactive risk identification, value‑based process improvements, and more reliable delivery across the R&D value chain. With great support from the Celonis team in Copenhagen, we are enabling R&D teams to make data‑driven decisions, optimise performance, and continuously improve how [...] delivers value to patients.

OneTrust provides a repeatable and defined process for vendor assessments but should be adapted to your organization. OneTrust functions well for a centralized document repository. The pricing of modules and what modules are required for workflows to function fully should be better defined. Automated assessments can wind up in spam filters and should be communicated outside of the platform prior to sending to the vendor.

• Module wise implementation.
• Very reasonable price structure.
• Easy and speedy to implement.
• Product roadmap.

• Helping reduce the complexity to support adoption throughout the business - received feedback that Celonis can only be used by Celonis SMEs, as the interface looks too complex
• Can we go faster with less? Both from the Celonis side and NN side feels like if we involved less stakeholders we could achieve more
• To get the most from Celonis we need to get the people who are closest to the process comfortable enough so they can draw insights from themselves - Celonis are good are drawing insights, but naturally sometimes misses the business context

Incentivized

• Documentation chasing for assessments is not as automated or hands-off as demos made it seem.
• Getting custom risk matrix set up required professional onboarding.
• Platform is less than intuitive.
• Pricing is module dependent and demos do not highlight which module is included in which workflow.

We have been able to leverage Celonis [greatly] because of the commitment and support we receive from our data scientist. I strongly believe that we would not be able to accomplish this without her assistance. Moreover, when we escalate matters, the product development is engaged and commits resources to make sure our initiatives/business cases are supported.

It is a great tool but also requires a lot of work to get it into a useable fashion. Part of this is on our end as we don't have the dedicated analyst function yet to really become self-sufficient with Celonis. It also uncovers a lot of data issues or at the very least, multiple rounds of development and data validation are required before getting to a position where the business users feel comfortable with the data being reflected. This is fairly normal with any data-related development effort and perhaps not unique to Celonis.

We submit tickets to Celonis through product support. No assistance is generally provided, have to wait and the ticket is then escalated to product support in Germany. Many times we submit the ticket and the support desk asks us the same questions back where they should already have this information.

Celonis has a lot of tools to support the implementation.

The major reason to choose Celonis is that it has enhanced decision-making in filtering the candidates. The frontend designer has nice graphics and has well-designed self-service. I particularly enjoy the visual editor, which allows you to create complicated PQL without having to write any code, as well as the numerous filtering choices, including process mining options.

During the assessment, we found that OneTrust is easier to use, set up, and administer. it has a quick ROI and value for business. The OneTrust product support and roadmap are far more competitive in comparison to TrustArc. OneTrust is specialized in GRC including Data Privacy and Cookie compliance, where Archer is good in Enterprise Risk management.

• The previous IFRS 9 calculation method was reaching its end of life—Celonis is a direct replacement for us.
• When rebuilding our logic from the old system to the new, it gave us a much-needed opportunity to revamp and standardise company codes and, in some cases, even pick up some errors.

Incentivized

• More uniform vendor assessments.
• Defensible numeric metrics reflecting risk.
• Centralized document repository for audit proofs.
