Easy to Use with Exceptional Customer Support
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to understand and user-friendly. Vanta’s customer support is exceptional.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s difficult to run an MDM command when the laptop was previously assigned to someone else and the MDM was already running earlier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me track device health and keep an eye on which devices are assigned to each employee.
Centralized Security Monitoring and Smart Task Assignment in Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
"The most valuable aspect of Vanta is the ability to centralize security monitoring across our entire infrastructure. Instead of manually gathering statistics from dozens of disconnected services, I have a single pane of glass for all our security metrics.
As a manager, I particularly appreciate the task assignment functionality. It allows me to delegate specific tests and remediation tasks to employees within their respective domains. This distributed approach not only ensures that the right experts are handling the right issues but also helps in balancing the workload across the team, making our compliance process much more efficient."

What do you dislike about the product?
In my experience, the UI is currently Vanta's most significant drawback. The primary issue is the lack of seamless navigation between related data points, which forces constant switching between different modules. For instance, you cannot directly open a linked computer's details from the employee list, which is a major friction point in a manager's workflow. These small but frequent inconveniences and the absence of intuitive cross-linking make it difficult to access information quickly, often leading to a fragmented and less efficient user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta addresses the critical challenge of maintaining a continuous security posture in an increasingly complex digital landscape. The primary problem it solves for us is the fragmentation of security compliance; it serves as a master dashboard that provides real-time visibility into our audit readiness.
This benefits me significantly by automating the oversight of security metrics and internal guidelines. Instead of relying on manual check-ins, the platform proactively monitors our environment, ensuring that no requirement falls through the cracks. For the management team, having a centralized source of truth for audit progress simplifies high-level reporting and allows us to address potential vulnerabilities long before an official audit begins. It essentially shifts our compliance strategy from a reactive 'sprint' to a proactive, manageable, and continuous process.

Simplifies Compliance, Needs Better Customization
What do you like best about the product?
I like Vanta's autonomous and simple interface, which helps reduce manual compliance work. The platform makes managing security compliance processes and preparing for audits much easier by automating compliance tracking and reducing manual work during evidence collection and policy management. I find the initial setup to be fairly straightforward, with most integrations being easy to configure. Vanta is a reliable and user-friendly platform that simplifies compliance management and audit preparation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some integrations and customization options could be more flexible for specific infrastructure requirements. Initial setup and policy mapping can also take some time for new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us manage security compliance processes, automate compliance tracking, and reduce manual work during evidence collection and policy management.
Automatic Vendor Data Collection That Just Works
What do you like best about the product?
It automatically collects data from integrated vendors.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GitHub integration feels insufficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped me prepare for a security audit, such as SOC 2.
Clarity-Focused Compliance Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like Vanta's emphasis on clarity, which began with the sales process. I knew exactly what I was buying, and that made things go smoother. I also appreciate the Vanta agent. Setting up Vanta was quite easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it would be nice to have a note that says 'You are logged in as Administrator' something that tells users immediately what their role is. I think the dashboard can show immediately on the home page where our compliance level stands based on different frameworks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think the scoping problem is very well handled in terms of users, tests, and documents.
Efficient Compliance Management with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how Vanta simplifies and automates compliance work that would otherwise be very manual and time-consuming. The platform is intuitive, helps keep everything organized in one place, and makes audit readiness much less stressful. Automating evidence collection and control monitoring helps us stay organized and audit-ready without constantly chasing documentation. Vanta provides better visibility into our security posture, making managing compliance more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say making some workflows and integrations a bit more intuitive, especially navigating more advanced features. There are times when customization or reporting could be more flexible, and having even more guidance within the platform for certain tasks would be helpful. It would be helpful to have more flexibility in building custom reports and tailoring dashboards based on different stakeholder's needs. More options to customize workflows, notifications and control ownership would also make the platform feel more adaptable to different teams and processes. Well, it took some time to get used to it and still learning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta streamlines compliance management, automates evidence collection, and enhances control monitoring, reducing manual work and organizing security processes. It saves time and eases audit readiness, making our compliance work efficient and less stressful.
All Evidence Attached to Tests—No More Hunting in Drives
What do you like best about the product?
All evidence is attached to the relevant test. There is no need to look in the drive for evidence.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even after I upload the evidence, there’s still a lag before the test gets remediated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated tests get remediated on their own once integrated with the tools.
Simplifies Compliance, But Needs AI Tweak
What do you like best about the product?
I find Vanta incredibly useful for compliance frameworks and documentation, including HiTrust and SOC 2. It really helps with recurring documentation, like quarterly access reviews, and saves us from creating tickets in a PSA system. Having a dedicated platform for tracking compliance docs means our auditor can see all evidence through Vanta without us digging through tickets. I appreciate that Vanta provides most of a compliance framework's documentation, which saves us from having someone spend weeks sifting through policies manually. The creation of most default controls for a framework gives a great overview of a compliance framework, and it's fine that it goes a little overboard because I'd rather have too much documentation than too little. The initial setup of Vanta was easy, I'd rate it an 8 out of 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
The AI processing could be improved. It re-runs every single time new evidence is added, which can be annoying. It would be better if there was a 'process with AI' button so it waits until all evidence is added before processing. Also, the 'Policies' templates are a bit rigid, making manual edits difficult. If you manually edit them, it seems like you have to discard all Vanta features/templates related to that policy in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta centralizes compliance documentation and streamlines processes like SOC 2 and HiTrust, saving us from creating tedious tickets. It simplifies recurring tasks like quarterly access reviews, letting auditors access evidence without hassle.
Streamlined SOC 2 Compliance with Seamless Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I like the integration of third-party services in Vanta, which is really helpful. For instance, we recently added Snowflake and could identify users who weren't using MFA, which proved to be pretty helpful. I also found the initial setup of Vanta to be easy and pretty straightforward. Additionally, I rate the likelihood of recommending Vanta to a friend or colleague at a 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think marking users that are not users could be easier, as the feature is kind of hidden. It would be nice to mark them directly from the tab or failing test where it shows the user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps manage third-party services and users. I appreciate the integration with Snowflake to catch users without MFA, which is helpful.
