Drata does compliance right to actually build a culture of security
What do you like best about the product?
I've been working at growth-stage SaaS startups for a decade and have never found another platform like Drata. The technology this team built for automating compliance goes beyond what's on the market today from the other providers claiming they make achieving compliance easy. Drata also has an awesome team of humans helping to project manage the journey to achieving SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, or whatever framework of requirements you're working with.
What do you dislike about the product?
It will be interesting to see how Drata continues to innovate on its platform considering this is becoming a crowded category. But there isn't much to dislike about Drata when you're working with such a great squad. Just go on social media to see all the shoutouts they're getting from other companies they helped to achieve compliance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The way that Drata makes it easy to project manage the compliance process, and has architected a platform to support it, makes working towards SOC 2 much easier than having to go through the process manually.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Forget Vanta. Go with Drata.
Perfect for making SOC 2 feel like Turbotax
What do you like best about the product?
There are a lot of vendors to choose from for SOC 2 automation. We chose Drata because their team has former auditors and their CEO Adam understands there is much more to SOC 2 than just checking the box for compliance. We decided to use Drata for our security and compliance automation tool to help with SOC 2 and get advice from their experts.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't support serverless frameworks which is much more difficult to snapshot evidence than just a typical EC2. This makes the evidence and data collection back to manual processes for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC 2 compliance automation. We are using Drata to organize our data and get our compliance evidence package as automated as possible. They have a ton of expertise on the subject and seem to be very knowledgeable about the process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SOC 2 expertise is a priority and they gave us a lot of guidance around the technical controls in SOC 2.
Great customer service, transparent sales
What do you like best about the product?
Drata has offered us top-notch customer service so far. Many vendors can help with SOC 2, but Drata stood out with their warm customer service. They were very flexible when dealing with requests, provided transparent info during sales calls and have made a small team like ours feel welcome. Thanks Ali and Ashley for the regular help with onboarding and prompt responses to our requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far. Still in the process of getting SOC 2 but it looks like Drata has all bases covered. I have suggested some improvements to their documentation - to add videos to explain the product better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are in the process of getting SOC 2 certified. We have connected our cloud infrastructure and other resources to Drata and are monitoring it for security.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd recommend Drata for their customer service and transparent dealing during Sales calls. Most products in this market are similar, so customer service is an essential point of differentiation.
Fantastic product and support
What do you like best about the product?
Drata makes going through SOC 2 certification almost fun! Very clear interface, logical flow of what needs to be done, dashboard for the overall health of the project etc. The company constantly adds new features and all of them really spot on. All this plus an exceptional customer support. Access to a chat with knowledgable human during extended business hours and customer success manager who goes far and beoynd to assure the success of project (pun intended). I am genuinly enjoying to use them for our SOC 2 certification.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. Gotchas like not supporting contractors with a different email domain, but those are minor issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a startup with naturally limited resources. Having Drata by our side makes getting SOC 2 certified possible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

What do you like best about the product?
Their customer service is great! They are always attentive, responsive in a timely manner and always helpful.

I think the platform is not so stable right now as I receive errors when using basic workflows there. I think they can improve on that, and it's being improved already, that's why we continue to use it :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are helping us be proactive in achieving security monitoring and on the ISO27001 certification.

Drata helps automate SOC2 and has great customer sucess
What do you like best about the product?
Drata is completely automated. It makes achieving SOC 2 compliance easy, even for a non-technical person like me. The user interface is great, as are the policies that Drata makes for you. Plus, their customer services is phenomenal. We feel halped and supported all the time (huge shout out to Ali here!). From minute one Drata has been helpful to us. It's allowed us to get all of our SOC 2 checks in order, and to quicken the speed at which we complete our security reviews. They have also introduced us to certain tools that we should be using, like Certn for background checks. To me, Drata helps make SOC 2 compliance more attainable and not seem like such a huge hurdle. We have found Drata to be really easy to integrate with our systems, so that it can run its automated checks. For us, the entire process has been really easy, and I can't imaginge working towards SOC 2 compliance without Drata.
