Vanta’s Automation Transforms Compliance with Seamless Integrations and Intuitive Dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta’s automation is a game-changer. It eliminates the tedious manual work involved in gathering audit evidence and tracking compliance controls. The platform’s integrations with popular tools—like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Jira—make it incredibly easy to monitor systems and users in real time. The dashboard is intuitive, visually clean, and provides an at-a-glance view of your compliance status. I especially appreciate the reminders and alerts that keep the whole team accountable without adding extra administrative burden.
The continuous monitoring and audit-readiness support are by far the most helpful features. Vanta doesn’t just help you pass an audit once—it helps you stay compliant all year long. Their support team and dedicated compliance specialists are also excellent, offering hands-on guidance throughout the certification process. The pre-built policy templates and security questionnaires save a ton of time and make compliance accessible, even for teams without a full-time security or compliance expert.
The biggest upside is confidence and speed. Vanta drastically reduces the time it takes to get audit-ready (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.), which means you can close deals faster and demonstrate trust to customers sooner. It also scales well—what starts as a compliance tool quickly becomes a security management system that grows with your company. The automation, integrations, and excellent customer experience all make Vanta a long-term partner rather than just a one-time compliance vendor.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta is an incredibly powerful platform, there are moments where the user interface can feel a bit overwhelming—especially when you’re first getting started. With so many integrations and automated checks running, it can take some time to understand how everything connects. Occasionally, certain integrations (like custom infrastructure setups or less common tools) require extra configuration or manual input to sync properly.
The policy customization process could be more flexible. Vanta offers great templates, but editing or tailoring them to specific internal workflows sometimes feels constrained by the platform’s structure. Additionally, notifications can be a bit noisy, and fine-tuning alert settings to avoid alert fatigue takes some trial and error.
The main downside is cost and learning curve—Vanta isn’t the cheapest option, and smaller startups might find the pricing high if they’re early in their compliance journey. There’s also a dependency on Vanta’s integrations, so if your tech stack isn’t well supported, you might need some manual workarounds. Finally, while Vanta’s audit partners are helpful, working through third-party auditors within the platform can sometimes create coordination delays during busy audit seasons.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Vanta, maintaining continuous compliance and ensuring every employee acknowledged security policies was a tedious, manual process. Vanta completely transformed that experience by automating compliance workflows and providing real-time visibility into our security posture. Instead of chasing down screenshots, spreadsheets, or employee attestations, everything is centralized and monitored automatically.
Vanta helps us streamline compliance for frameworks like SOC 2 and HIPAA, dramatically reducing the time and effort needed to prepare for audits. The automated evidence collection from integrations across our systems—cloud providers, HR platforms, and ticketing tools—means we’re always audit-ready, not scrambling at the last minute.
Another huge benefit is policy management and employee engagement. Vanta makes it easy to distribute policies to all employees and track their acknowledgment digitally. This ensures 100% policy acceptance and ongoing accountability, which is essential for maintaining compliance and building a strong security culture across the organization.
From a business standpoint, Vanta has allowed us to accelerate sales cycles by providing customers and partners with trusted proof of compliance, while also reducing risk exposure through continuous monitoring. In short, Vanta gives us confidence, saves time, and supports company-wide compliance with minimal friction.

Seamless SOC 2 Compliance, Strong Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Vanta for around one to two years primarily for SOC 2 compliance, and I am very impressed with the ease of setup. I was pleasantly surprised by how it seamlessly integrated with our infrastructure, making the process of getting SOC 2 certification as straightforward as possible. Vanta efficiently keeps our team on track to maintain SOC 2 compliance, effectively eliminating the need for someone within the team to constantly remind us of the necessary tasks. The system has all tasks pre-set, allowing me to see exactly what I need to accomplish without having to figure it out myself, which simplifies the compliance process significantly. The integrations, specifically with infrastructure providers like AWS and Google Cloud, are a standout feature for me, as they allow us to align our tests efficiently. Vanta excels in providing integrations and individualization that adapt to our setup needs. This level of integration is crucial for streamlining our SOX 2 certification process, which is a significant benefit for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've noticed some inconsistency among audits through Vanta. Initially, our audits were somewhat lenient, but the latest audit became extremely strict suddenly. This inconsistency, even with the same auditors, is problematic as it makes it challenging to predict the time needed for future audits, despite having Vanta streamline our processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Vanta solves compliance tracking, ensuring our team stays on track with SOC 2 requirements efficiently.
Smooth SOC2 Integration, But Occasional App Glitches
What do you like best about the product?
It is great because of the SOC2 tool. Integration was very smooth, always up to date on tests
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes app is too wacky and doesn’t update the tests
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most importantly no need of providing documents and details for the SOC2 audit anymore
Effortless Compliance Tracking and Clear Guidance with Vanta
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be frustrating that certain features are only available with a more expensive subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has helped our very small team stay on top of compliance all year by highlighting what we need to focus on ahead of time. This makes it much easier for us to manage our responsibilities and remain compliant.

integration with our vendors make my life easier
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to find the needed control/tasks

An excellent tool for security
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, provides tons of articles and support information on how to optimize for SOC2, integrates all our applications and streamlines complex workflows around security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive, many features that aren't used still show up (can't remove unused functionality to simplify)

Providing us a framework and support for SOC2 compliance
Excellent Visibility and Compliance, Great for SaaS startups
What do you like best about the product?
It provides great visibility and accelerates compliance.

Sometimes it doesn’t allow full integration with other tools so there can be a lot of manual evidence that is difficult to verify automatically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a startup providing enterprise SaaS, we rely on Vanta to ensure our compliance with SOC 2 Type II requirements.
Effortless Compliance Automation and Seamless Integration
What do you like best about the product?
It automates compliance tasks, integrates well with key systems, and makes tracking audit readiness simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some integrations need fine-tuning, and reporting options could be more customizable. API integrations could be more reliable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It centralizes and automates our compliance efforts, reducing manual evidence collection and audit prep time. Continuous monitoring also improves visibility into security gaps and helps maintain readiness year-round.
Effortless Compliance with Great Support, But Task Unfolding Can Be Surprising
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy how easy and clear Vanta makes everything, its straightforward to know what the next thing you need to do is. Just about everything is easy to integrate and implement and the customer support is ready to help you if you need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I found a bit bothersome at times; but also I fully understand the reason behind it; was that completing some tasks added more tasks. I understand not wanting to show me that I have 500 things to do at the start. But I don't know if there is some way to convey that by completing task x you will add 5 more tasks without also giving me more anxiety about getting all the tasks complete simulataneously.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Becoming SOC2 compliant in a straightforward way.
