Osano vs. VGS platform

Osano is great for a full suite of websites to manage. Agencies and companies with many websites to attend to are a good match for Osano's capabilities. Websites that run a lot of cookies and scripts (aka anything WordPress) are good candidates for this service. It is also useful for managing user data, although I do not leverage that feature in my own use.

If you are working with payments and you don`t want to store that kind of data to avoid a lot of strict requirements and headaches with tight processes, strict security, encryption and everything else you can leverage VGS platform to greatly reduce the work needed to enable payments in your system. They also provide tokenization for some other kinds of data but we currently do not use them. VGS platform also provides a product for compliance and controls (VGS Control) which helps you get ready and maintain compliance in your organization.

The support is pretty decent, sometimes take a little bit o time to solve things (not critical things) but that is part of the ticketing/email async communication so its fine. All the times I had to contact support a got my issue solved and a lot of attention from the support team to help solving the issue.

I haven't used any other products like Osano before.

We evaluated Drata as an alternative for VGS Control, but VGS platform control integrates a lot of controls around VGS itself and also with Cloud Infra that we use, which makes the process faster. Also keeping everything with the same vendor makes things easier to manage.

• + [We] haven't had any compliance issues.
• - When adding new scripts to the website, I (me, specifically) need to remember that I'll need to classify them before the scripts will work. [It is] not streamlined for other people on my team.
• + [There are] generally little-to-no issues, which is good.

• Increased sales and revenue (enabled digital payments)
