Superior to Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
The UX and the tech are excellent! The staff is even more so. I've had all my questions & suggestions responded to quickly and helpfully. I was even given a direct connection to the software team to address features and functionality relevant to our organization. They do a fantastic job at Drata!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far; if there's a feature I request, they're either already working on a solution, or they send to their product team and I get regular updates from our account rep.

Streamlining security & compliance controls to prepare & maintain SOC 2.
Drata makes SOC 2 prep much more streamlined.
What do you like best about the product?
Centralized policy management, automated compliance checks
What do you dislike about the product?
There's no way to exclude a group of items from an automated check with the same reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Drata has helped us prepare for our SOC 2 audit. By having all policies centralized as well as integrating employee policy acceptance/acknowledgment, we have significantly reduced the overhead of managing this data. The automated monitoring of controls also simplifies gathering evidence for an audit.
An interactive team and an effective tool

Efficient, intuitive, and timely
What do you like best about the product?
The web interface is intuitive and covers all of our needs. We were able to integrate with all the key tools in our tech stack as well. Our contact was super helpful and responsive. We were able to meet often enough that the project was always moving forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Microsoft Azure integration setup was a little tricky, but the Drata dev team helped us get it sorted out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to get our SOC2 audit completed in a reasonable time frame and now have an automated monitoring system set up which enables us to keep up with our security compliance state in real-time.
Easy to use for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
The API access (that would help with integrating non standard services) and mapping between framework specific requirements and controls in place weighed a lot in our decision making. The architecture of the service and CISO leadership were important factors too when we decided to go ahead with Drata.
The responsiviness and knowledge of the support team was highly appreciated. The user experience is appreciated by the entire team.

What do you dislike about the product?
I found the cost higher than some of the competition, especially for small teams like ours. Some minor aspects: I would've loved to easily see the diffs between different versions of the policies managed through Drata, especially custom policies, and the ability to review the permissions for each of the integrations I would enable during onboarding ahead of time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduce the time it takes to prepare for a SOC 2 audit.
Your compliance toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
Drata makes the SOC compliance aspect much easier to implement with automation. Having access to all your policies and procedures and one location to collect, and retain evidence of compliance is a huge time saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a very powerful application and still needs some tweaking on application navigation, that's common with a new entry into the field. That said they are very responsive to user suggestions on improvements to the GUI and overall application usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time and Money the two largest factors with compliance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a test trial - you won't go back to a manual process
Drata is a great platform
What do you like best about the product?
Professional and friendly team, excellent platform, lots of integrations!
What do you dislike about the product?
Other frameworks (e.g. HIPAA) are not ready, which means we need to use multiple systems at the same time still.

Drata helps saving time in learning the frameworks and the requirements, being in compliance, and allowing for a fast audit process.
