We use Vanta to ensure SOC2 and HIPAA compliance.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Vanta is the usability and the understandable and up to date UI. Audit compliance is not something I deal with everyday, but when I do, I can login and find my way around fairly easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have heard from others who deal with compliance on our team more in depth that customization and configurability to our needs could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We require SOC II and PCI compliance for our software and industry.
Integrations are helpful
What do you like best about the product?
I like the integrations that simplify much of the compliance process. I also like that it enables my to track and upload items as needed throughout the year so the audit period is not so stressful as much of the work is done in advance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't found anything yet that I particularly dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business requires a SOC II compliance certificate. We complete this through Vanta.
Vanta usage for Security Analysts
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta does a good job of providing single 'pane-of-glass' of our critical assets, making it very easy to have clear visibility into inventory and production environements
What do you dislike about the product?
Some integrations and marketing is 'over-promised' in the sense that its actual functionality isn't what is advertised.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping simplfy our ever-expanding tech stack
A great solution for a growing SaaS company
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has given our small company a path to grow and mature in the SaaS world. With more emphasis put on cybersecurity in today's world, Vanta has made it simple to improve standards and practices.
I like the automated training for our staff. I like the UI overall, and how to see policy, document, and control details in an intuitive way. I like the automation in tests.

What do you dislike about the product?
More automation for tests and documents would be nice. While the structure of our frameworks is intuitive, I think the integrations being deepened for more automatic checks for requirements could make this solution even better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is our platform for tracking and satisfying cybersecurity compliance. Our current and future clients benefit from knowing that we adhere to accepted standards for security compliance in our policies and procedures, and that we have invested the time, money, and effort into being trustworthy stewards of our users' data handling.
Vanta: Essential for SOC 2 Compliance, But UI Needs Work
What do you like best about the product?
I truly appreciate how Vanta simplifies our compliance process, specifically by managing various compliance aspects and enabling us to be SOC 2 certified. This certification significantly bolstered our business reputation. I find immense value in the efficiency Vanta brings by allowing us to seamlessly track our employees, organize policy additions, and handle their acceptance without cumbersome one-on-one discussions, thanks to the ability to send out policy packets. The remediation and status filters stand out for me because they are incredibly easy to use and helpful when assigned correctly. These features undoubtedly streamline our workflow and make compliance management much less burdensome. The overall experience with Vanta has been so positive that, knowing what we do now, I would repurchase it multiple times over.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the initial setup process with Vanta to be very time-consuming. It needed substantial efforts to build out all necessary components and to learn the system before adding our employees. Vanta's interface could also be improved; it is currently all one color, which makes navigation difficult. I've learned my way around, but it would be more user-friendly with a clear breakdown of tabs on the left-hand side. Additionally, the pricing is not clearly outlined on the website or readily available in a quote, which makes planning and budgeting more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta to ensure SOC 2 compliance, tracking policies and employee acknowledgments, which strengthens our business reputation and streamlines internal processes with policy packets.
Overall good experience, some room for improvement especially for smaller companies
What do you like best about the product?
Streamlining the work with Auditors, making it much easier to tick the boxes that are going to be required for compliance.
Some of the automated checks are really nice to ensure compliance over time, and niceties like the trust page are a good bonus.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the automated checks and tests are a bit coarse and generic - there are things that make sense for larger companies that don't always make sense for small startups and could be more streamlined.
Also relevant not just for startups - the controls around ensuring code in GitHub gets reviewed before pushing to production are coarse and not well designed to actually enable good security and best practices. This is a combination of how GitHub and Vanta work together, ultimately making it difficult to do benign automations that shouldn't need human review, and forcing us to do more complicated workaround for no security benefit.

Helping us manage the SOC2 compliance process.
Our model - AI company using pure cloud and Infrastructure as Code
What do you like best about the product?
Integrations, streamlining workflows, acts as a document repo, single system of record, visibility of compliance against standards in real time, audit access, etc. The pre-canned documentation, to start 42001, for example, are really helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The whole platform is super-needy, you can spend all day, every day trying to evidence or address alerts, it can be overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single pane of glass. Still, with the Vendor management module, we would like a dedicated "slot" to attached contracts, rather than have to add them to the evidence panel.
Vanta is an incredible management software for all things security compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Vanta's constant reminders about tasks that need to be completed. This automation helps to keep me on task. I use Vanta every week, and it's a good check for our internal team to make sure we are most up to date with our security procedures. Vanta also has a great team that provides advice, technical support, and access to new products. Vanta was the reason we were able to pass our ISO 27001 audit with no major nonconformities.
What do you dislike about the product?
We worked with VioletX at the beginning, which I believe is a third-party partner of Vanta that provides support when you are first getting started. They were not incredibly accessible and it was clear they had many clients and information they had to manage that made it hard for them to truly focus on each client. If we were to go back, we would most likely not work with VioletX again as the Vanta platform itself has clear instructions for each action item.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To gain more clients, we need to have ISO 27001 certification. Vanta has streamlined that proess for us.
