Most complete GRC solution to start enterprise compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Integrations with other SaaS tools including CSP, HR, MDM, and etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once you have multiple frameworks, the administration of maintaining can be demanding.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I maintain SOC 2/3, ISO 27001 and HIPAA for a startup. This is my focal point for managing those compliance frameworks.
Vanta provides a path towards achieving critical security certifications
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta provides a pathway to achieving compliance with security programs, and ultimately receiving relevant certifications and audit reports. We worked with Vanta to launch our SOC 2 program and were successful in setting up a truly effective program despite the fact that no one on our team had set up a SOC 2 program before. Right now we're applying the lessons learned during that process to set up our ISO 27001 program and I have no doubt will reach that milestone within the next few months thanks in no small part to Vanta. Vanta is everything you need for compliance, you will need other partners, such as a great auditor, but they make the path forward clear and manageable, even for teams without prior experience setting up security compliance programs.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've had some issues with our GCP integration due to the fact that we have literally thousands of instances and we tend to run into API / import issues from time to time, but Vanta has been great about working with us to sort out those challenges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta provides a pathway towards achieving compliance with our selected security compliance programs, and then provides a central location where all of the relevant data is gathered, in many cases in a fully automated fashion. Vanta automates compliance, and where it can't be automated, it provides a central hub where our company and our auditors can manage data requests.
Vanta gives you confidence in your compliance and security
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Vanta are all of the integrations they have with the other software in our ecosystem. It plugs in directly with AWS, Justworks, Chekr and Mosyle so I can be confident all of these are set up correctly.The dashboard gives me a great overview of any outstanding complicance items without me having to really dig in. The integrations also make implementation easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the complaince checks take some time to update so even if you've done something they won't rigger as done for a few minutes. Can make it a little confusing to make sure you've completed a task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure we are HIPAA compliant
Vanta - helping a small start-up gain SOC 2
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta was intrusmental in helping our start up gain SOC 2 compliance. Their main tool was very intuitive and our CSM gave us many helpful bits of information to further streamline the process. I mainly worked on building out the documents and their pre-populated templates saved a ton of time. It also seems like it will be very helpful in keeping our SOC 2 renewal each year. I know our Devops teams really liked having the easy integration abilties of their various tools into Vanta
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts of the user experience are complicated and its hard to gain all the context needed for what you need to do. As a small startup you dont always have the right people working on the right things so it was difficult to figure stuff out. We used Miria Security (recommended by Advantage partners) and that was pretty helpful to push us over the finish line.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to gain SOC 2 for some of our existing client contracts and some of our future work that we are going after.
A good tool to streamline certification management
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is great at providing guidance and tools to support the process of meeting the requirements for various certification standards as well as maintaining them ongoing. Unless you have a dedicated staff to work on these standards, a tool such as Vanta is essential in making the process digestible.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't any major downsides the product overall - I would just cite little things. I wish there was a more straightforward way to search the platform. Search queries seem to be limited to sections and the universal searching isn't all that helpful. There also seems to have been a lot of turnover in the 2 or so years that we've been a customer making it difficult to know who our main point of contact is. Vanta does not put a lot of effort into proactive personalized communications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has enabled us to fulfill our goal of being ISO27001 and SOC2 compliant. Achieving this goal would have been very difficult, if not improbable, without Vanta to guide us through the process and provide us with the tools to develop our policies and procedures that support these standards. It's also great to have a platform that alerts us to the tasks we need to perform to maintain compliance with the standards.
Vanta makes compliance a joy and not a choir.
What do you like best about the product?
Having one place for all security compliance needs. Everything is mapped and easy to upload, create, manage, and follow. The most efficient system for risk and compliance ever created.
What do you dislike about the product?
An ability to work with third-party auditors via Vanta, making audits seamless and smooth. Ongoing monthly support from Vanta is very helpful and keeps us updated on enhancements, connecting with subject matter experts, and simply answering questions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is our risk and compliance solution, allowing us to have a strong, complete, and robust security compliance program. In addition, Vanta will enable companies to manage risk and compliance with fewer resources because automation is the key.
Vanta app is well organized and purposeful
What do you like best about the product?
This app organizes your tests and documents in a user friedly interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
The team could be more informative for portal changes. Typical of many SaaS apps, changes to look and feel happen often without notice and it can take a minute to find where things have been moved to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC 2 compliance and audits
Compliance Can Be Simple
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta made it so easy to just get straight into becoming SOC-2 compliant. We had the entire process broken down into phases and their checklists made it simple to delegate across the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did not dislike anything, but I would recommend having weekly check-ins with your customers to answer any questions and keep the momentum going.
Thankfully our team was self-motivated, but I could see this project becoming overwhelming for other companies.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us with some of our policies and procedures deficiencies. Their templates were easy for us to edit and apply to our business model.
Key help with our ISO and SOC2 Certification
What do you like best about the product?
Help our team stay on track and organized as we obtain our ISO and SOC2 Certifications
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though we received good value, the total investment was a touch pricey.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helped us stay organized in collecting all the documentation to obtain security certifications.
Vanta really streamlined the preparation for our security audit.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta provides complete direction on security audit requirements and best practices and how to stay up to date on our compliance post audit. It's a rather intuitive platform and relatively easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The occasional platform glitches. Virtual support with account manager is often rushed as to not surpase the alloted 30 minutes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's assitsed our company in achieving our SOC 2 certification.
