Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

iubenda

  • Plans are metered by monthly pageviews, so a single viral article can push a site two tiers up mid-year and the cost is driven by traffic rather than by revenue.
  • Generated policies are templates from a clause library, so unusual data processing, complex international transfers or sector-specific rules are not covered and still need a lawyer.
  • It addresses the public-facing compliance surface only, with no data discovery, vendor risk assessment or data subject request automation, so a growing company will need a second platform.
  • The accessibility product is delivered through a partner and priced separately, and overlay widgets of that kind are contested as an accessibility solution, so buying it does not remove legal exposure.
  • Support is largely documentation and ticket based at the lower tiers, which is a poor match for an urgent regulatory query where the answer is needed the same day.

Tenable

  • Pricing starts at $3500/year for Tenable One VM, expensive for small organizations
  • Many enterprise features require custom quote and sales engagement
  • Cloud Exposure, OT Exposure, and other modules have no published pricing
  • Multi-year contracts common, limiting flexibility
  • Setup and configuration complexity for enterprise deployments
