Vanta

What do you like best about the product?

The layout is intuitive, and I can see what I need at a glance. It's organized per our compliance policies, so things are good.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes the menus glitch out, like going back from individual tests to the overall test menu.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

SOC2 compliance in a centralized manner

What do you like best about the product?

The Vanta AI agent that helps to suggest any gaps in the evidence and also helps to quickly assess any given situation for any control remediation.

What do you dislike about the product?

The fact that I am unable to format and add newlines while writing comments for any requested evidence by the auditor.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

To keep my compliance on track and reminding of any upcoming GAPS. It benefits us to be 100% compliant and also simplifies getting audited and certified.

What do you like best about the product?

Before every audit, I used to send emails asking people to accept the new policies, finish the security training, and install the device checker. Half the replies came back after three reminders. Now Vanta sends those reminders on its own, and I open the people page and see exactly who is still missing. This year the list went from forty names to three in about a week, and I never wrote a single follow up email myself.

What do you dislike about the product?

Reminders only go to people assigned to the right group. A new contractor wasn’t in any group, so nobody reminded him, and I found out a week before the audit. I now check the groups every time someone joins.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vanta turned the most tiring part of audit prep into something I check for ten minutes a day. It’s not hard to use, but you have to set the groups up properly at the start, or some people slip through.

What do you like best about the product?

Everything is in one place, and the UX does lead you externally to the other accounts of the users to be more easily integrated between the vendors.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's very busy. Lots of tabs, not always clear what the solve is, usually the solution is clicking around until something happens. The AI is helpful, but when I email support my goal is a human.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Maintaining SOC2 compliance by managing all of our users, vendors, and engineering vulnerabilities. The sorting of the tests doesn't always perform well, sometimes we all have the issue where it will show only a few tests even though we have no filters clicked.

What do you like best about the product?

The consistency. The system has crashed or really even been buggy. I'm able to quickly make updates to user profiles and the background check process is extremely straightforward.

What do you dislike about the product?

Having to go through each employee individually to make updates. I'd love for there to be a bulk change option when I'm processing employees through our onboarding process.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Confirming that our new hires do not have a criminal background and ensuring data privacy for our customers. It gives me peace of mind knowing we are hiring the right people and the data they collect from conversations with customers is secure.

What do you like best about the product?

The integrations are really where it’s at for us. Having one dashboard where we can see everything saves us an enormous amount of time. The AI is helpful at every step along the way, and I’m convinced the price has saved us from having to hire another employee.

What do you dislike about the product?

Renewing policies is easy, but renewing documents isn’t nearly as straightforward. It feels like it should be a simple fix, yet it’s frustrating and annoying every time I have to go through the process.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It creates weekly and daily lists of items I need to review and follow up on, so I’m not stuck with a huge list right before audit time. The re-test performance is also impressive, which means I spend less time waiting.

What do you like best about the product?

The best thing which I observed at my organization with Vanta is the automated evidence collection is a standout capability for us, at our organization our ML and engineering teams. It has provided us with updating our Cloud infra in our case AWS, and helped across the training and deployments of pipelines and streamlined the process which eventually saved 88% of time which we were doing it manually.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are not so many problems with Vanta, it has great potential and has helped us to get the expected results we wanted, great UI and integration across cloud. Just a small suggestion they can add automated tests out of the box which will save a lot of time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vanta has helped us in training of data & preparation of audits which was a recurring bottleneck for us, has helped us to automate 78.77% of evidence gathering and we have cut on our SOC2 type readiness from 9 months to 8 weeks. Second, it has helped us in the elimination of audit friction which has saved $700k on a year-over-year basis and saved weeks of back and forth emails. Third, it has helped us unlock the enterprise pipeline which has helped continuous and live trust center.

What do you like best about the product?

Unification of GRC and integrations with tools

What do you dislike about the product?

some of the integrations are imperfect and cause us to have to write a lot of dismissal rationales

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

GRC compliance tracking

What do you like best about the product?

Without a doubt, the standout capability for our team is the automated identity and logs that build a comprehensive inventory of third-party apps. Vanta connects to single sign-on activity and accounts to spot shadow IT automatically.

What do you dislike about the product?

Vanta’s default risk scoring can be overly aggressive and lacks context out of the box. I spent the first few weeks setting baseline risk parameters and clearing false positives and low-risk items, and the scoring felt overly sensitive to productivity.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Vanta to eliminate shadow IT.

What do you like best about the product?

It's user friendly interface, helpful AI agent and how it helps me keep things up to date within the team
