Compare / TrustArc

#1 TrustArc alternative

TrustArc offers a legacy approach to privacy, relying on services and outdated tooling that lack the customization and integrations today's businesses need. Ketch delivers a modern, intuitive platform with self-service controls and powerful automation: privacy software that actually feels like software.

Ketch vs. TrustArc for data privacy management software

Why teams are leaving TrustArc

  1. Ketch delivers real-time automation, no-code customization, and seamless integrations, minimizing manual work. TrustArc's slower setup, more rigid processes, and reliance on services often mean workarounds instead of software doing the job.

  2. Real-time automation

    Ketch offers AI-driven, automated compliance that dynamically adapts to changing privacy laws. TrustArc relies more on manual processes and service team support, which can mean delays and compliance gaps.

    Regulatory agilityManual oversight

  3. Superior web performance

    Ketch's lightweight, modern architecture keeps page speed and site performance intact. Heavier scripts on legacy platforms can slow sites down, affecting user experience and SEO.

    User engagementPage load delays

  4. Seamless consent orchestration

    Ketch enforces user consent across all data systems in real time. TrustArc's consent orchestration leans more on manual workarounds to reach the same result.

    Confidence in enforcement

  5. No-code flexibility

    With no-code customization, legal and marketing teams can manage compliance without engineering help. Rigid interfaces and gated setups make the same changes slower on TrustArc.

TrustArc vs. Ketch, side by side

TrustArc built its reputation offering foundational privacy compliance tools, but that foundation hasn't kept up with modern demands: basic, outdated features, limited customization, and a model that leans too heavily on services. Today's businesses need real automation, intuitive interfaces, seamless integrations, and the flexibility to move fast as regulations evolve.

As a tech-focused company, we prioritize efficient tools that streamline our processes. Ketch delivers on this, and their built-in compliance features and best practices are a significant advantage.

Mid-Market (51-1000 employees)

They have a great system that is easy to configure compared to competing systems. We have reduced our engineering effort for privacy and compliance ten-fold with this switch. What took us months to set up for a new site can be done in a few days.
