Positive Experience
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, straightforward. The interface is very friendly
What do you dislike about the product?
Confusion around lots of redundant pieces, and some areas don't have clear guidance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving my problem of learning compliance and guiding me through the process of adopting protocols.
Vanta helps me spot risks early
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta connects to our cloud and identity tools and starts pulling evidence by itself, so I don’t waste time asking teammates for screenshots or logs. The dashboard shows which controls are healthy and which need work.
What do you dislike about the product?
A few legacy systems didn’t integrate cleanly at first and needed manual evidence or engineering time to set up. Support is helpful, but complex issues can take longer to resolve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta turns audit prep from a frantic, last minute scramble into steady, everyday work by continuously monitoring controls and auto collecting artifacts. That continuous control monitoring dramatically reduces manual evidence gathering and overall audit prep time we saw far fewer hours spent chasing documents and much smoother auditor interactions.
Vanta helps our ops run smoothly
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta plugs into the systems we already use and gathers proof for us without constant emails. The dashboard shows which checks are green and which need attention, and it lets me assign tasks so my team knows exactly what to fix next.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fewtimes vanta asks for evidence in a strict format, so I have to re upload documents that already prove the same thing. A few older tools didn’t connect cleanly at first, which meant some extra manual steps during setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta turned audit prep from a last minute scramble into steady, everyday work by continuously checking controls and pulling evidence automatically. That saves our ops team many hours, reduces email back and forth with other groups, and helps leadership see our compliance status at a glance. It also makes vendor and cloud checks easier to manage across the business.
Vanta is User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has automated all the compliance framework by integrating all the tools and it becomes very easy to track all the test and remediate them according to the SLA set in the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Till now I don't have any dislikes about Vanta
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is solving in tracking all the test required for compliance of SOC 2 Type II
Vanta is more than just a compliance tool.
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Vanta is its ability to manage compliance across various frameworks. The platform offers a wide range of templates and policy generators, ensuring that you don't overlook any required sections for your compliance needs. Vanta also integrates with numerous vendors, allowing for automated testing of both user management and potential vulnerabilities within your infrastructure. While it's possible to handle these tasks manually, doing so would require the entire team's effort and would consume a significant amount of time and resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta performs all its functions smoothly and without any issues. My main complaint is that certain features, such as detailed role and permission management, are only available in the higher-priced plans. But overall, the core functionality works as expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta significantly speeds up the evidence collection process because many of the tests are automated, removing the need for manual work. This dramatically reduces the time required for compliance, and tasks that would typically need one or two full-time employees are handled automatically by Vanta.
Going manually through the list of controls provided in ISO 27001 or SOC2 can give you headaches, as the list is extensive and some of it requires additional sources to explain what is required.
Vanta has all controls connected to tests, policies, and documents, and additionally, it gives a clear explanation of what each control or test means and how to fulfill it.

Vanta keeps enterprise risk visible
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta connects to our cloud, identity, and productivity tools and starts pulling evidence on its own, so I stop chasing teams for screenshots and logs. During SOC 2 prep it collected access logs and config snapshots automatically, letting me focus on fixing gaps instead of hunting for proof.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform can be picky about how evidence is formatted, so sometimes I reformat and re-upload files. A few legacy systems didn’t integrate cleanly and needed manual evidence, and the initial setup required some engineering time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta’s continuous control checks and automated evidence collection turn audit prep into routine work gaps show up in real time and many artifacts come in automatically. That reduced our audit scramble, cut hours of back-and-forth, and gave leadership a clearer view of enterprise risk across cloud and vendors. Vanta also supports mapping controls across frameworks which saves duplicate effort.
A solid GRC platform, and smoothly intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
I was prompted to leave a review after I reported (and they promptly resolved) a minor UX bug, and the responsiveness from the Vanta team was first rate. But beyond that, it's a well-architected platform, and enjoyable to use, especially for the Trust Center we rely on for our own customer trust efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do find the complexity of the left menu a bit daunting, and could do more with a little less.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta's chief values are in the Trust Center, as a source for trust truth in working with our prospects and customers, and as a platform for audits.
Vanta keeps cloud risks visible
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta connected to our cloud and identity stack (AWS, Okta, etc.) and started pulling access logs and config snapshots right away, so I stopped spending hours collecting evidence. The dashboard makes it quick to see which cloud controls are healthy and which need attention.
What do you dislike about the product?
The evidence rules can be picky about file format or structure, so occasionally I have to reformat or re upload artifacts. Integrating a few legacy services also took engineering time to get right.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta continuous control checks and automated evidence collection turned audit prep from a sprint into routine work gaps show up in real time, automated tests surface issues, and we can remediate before auditors ask. That cut prep time a lot and gave leadership a clearer security posture.
Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
SOC 2 compliance is not easy to manage especially for a small team. Vanta keeps us focused on what is important making the audit period much easier to manage and remain compliant.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is missing some important integrations. For example, it integrates with cloud environments well but not with on-prem solutions. For example, we had to integrate Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager with Intune to easily integrate with Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us maintain our SOC 2 Type II compliance
Vanta helps me prove our security and close deals faster
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta pulls proof straight from our systems and shows live control status, so I can share a clear security snapshot with prospects during RFPs. When we were preparing for SOC 2, a lot of evidence was already available in the dashboard, which made our customer calls and demos much more confident and shorter.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting it up took more time than I expected and sometimes the tool wants documents in a strict format, so I re upload a file now and then. The price can feel high for very small deals, but for larger opportunities the trust it creates usually pays off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta stops lengthy back and forth during security reviews customers can see our controls and evidence quickly, which reduces due diligence questions and speeds up contract talks. It also keeps our internal security status visible all the time, so my team and I spend less time hunting for files and more time on selling.
