The optimized path and communication to getting the SOC 2 Type 2 was incredible.The sales and onboarding process was informational and consistent with positivity and guidance throughout.

I have no improvement suggestions. Easy suggestion is more integrations, however all the ones needed were there for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Soc 2 Type 2 and HIPAA. Benefits were a designed process to not waste time and money on resources that were superfluous to the main goal.

Vanta covers nearly everything for SOC2.

The risk assessment area could use more instruction.

Exactly the type of system that we needed to demonstrate SOC2 compliance and manage the process on an ongoing basis.
Very useful to setup security process within your entire organization

What do you dislike about the product?
Coverage for Google Cloud Platform is not as good as I would like
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Excellent guidance to start implementing stronger security processes, both on technical and organisational aspects. It makes us much more confident about the way we operate by giving a lot of visibility and allow quick response time and SLA tracking.
SOC 2 audit is in progress, so cannot give a complete feedback on that topic yet.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think Vanta is a great tool to start implementing and monitoring security practices in a small organisation as long as your landscape is aligned with the integrated tools.
The one thing to check is the list of tools you use and how aligned it is with Vanta integrations.

User friendly security tool
What do you like best about the product?
The task list is what I like best. It makes it so easy to see what task that needs to be done and how to do them. And on some tasks there is a link to the issue as well. It also shows what tasks are the most urgent and important ones so that we can prioritize without thinking about them. All in all the tool is very easy to use and makes security and compliance feel almost fun.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use the tool to get SOC2. But we would also like if there were other features that would cover our security and compliance. As checking that phones that are using company data are secure. We would also like to have the option to request features that are not in the tool and are not directly connected to compliance, but goes with the functions in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of not knowing what exactly we need to get SOC2 compliant in an easy and efficient way with a lot of flexibility. Vanta has made it easy to get all actions needed for SOC2 on one place. Now we can fill out tasks, create policies, handle vendors, manage computers and more in one tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta is a simple tool for security and compliance. If you are looking for something that is easy to use with a good overview Vanta is the tool for you. The follow-up has been remarkable, and any questions we have has has been welcomed and answered greatly.
Vanta review

A Framework and a focal point to manage all of the SOC2 requirements.
Automation of both the Server-side and the endpoint side
Automation of both the Server-side and the endpoint side
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of the ability to define certification scope in the system.
I would like to be able to include all of my entities & my server environments in order to improve security, but I am limited to do it just for these in the certification scope.
( I am not the hands-on user)

Peace of mind and hundreds of hours saved
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta starts providing peace of mind minutes after the initial setup is completed. I can sleep properly knowing that there are no red flag related with configuration, security, or compliance.
I trust Vanta to notify me when a test is not passing anymore. It might go from a missconfiguration of an employee's computer to a security vulnerability. I can focus on the rest of my work and just go back when a next step is needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that we dislike about the platform. We did had a few issues connecting the Vanta agent in some cases, but the support was helpful and super quick.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started using Vanta becase we wanted to get a SOC2 Type 2 certification. We knew that it will take us a lot of time to setup all the requirements and we decided to go with Vanta to save time, keep the information organized, and be notified of any organizational issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You are probably considering Vanta because of a SOC2/ISO certification. It's also likely that you are not an expert on the topic. If both statements are true, I can ensure you that Vanta is a good choice in terms of onboarding and help with the process (they will introduce you a few auditors you can choose from). Lastly, keep in mind that you will be using this platform for a long time if you consider going with a SOC2 Type 2 certification (in terms of monitoring time and later the certification renewal). If that's the case, check if the rest of alternatives gives you the same peace of mind with all the automated alerts that Vanta has. We are happy with them and we also know that they cover every compliance requirement, given that we already got our first certification.
Never Going Back
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of Vanta's to-do list to complete important compliance steps is where it all started for me. From there, it was a breeze to click into the step, follow the detailed instructions, and track our progress. Contrast that with the totally scattered Excel spreadsheets and ambiguous requirements from audit firms, and Vanta comes out miles ahead of the "DIY approach". Our customer success contact was extremely helpful as well, and she added a ton of value to our experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is a young company and product, and there are understandable rough spots that need some polish. However, very few of those rough spots were blockers to get my work done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC-2 compliance and ongoing HIPAA compliance
