Vanta makes SOC2 readiness a breeze.
What do you like best about the product?
The two best things about Vanta are the policy templates and the integrations. The policy templates allowed us to jump-start our readiness program, and the breadth of integrations made onboarding a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Vanta agent for monitoring end-user computers leaves something to be desired. I'd suggest using a proper MDM solution (Jamf, etc) instead of the Vanta agent. It had several issues detecting hard drive encryption status with various flavors of Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta made SOC2 readiness a snap. We completed our readiness program in under four weeks from starting from absolute zero; we are on track to be SOC2 Type 2 certified in under six months from signing up with Vanta. I'm not sure how else we could have achieved it that quickly with another tool.

The perfect blend to security and support

The specific modules and documents and the ease of seeing your progress to completing the certification.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some challenges uploading a screenshot for a security requirement and could not figure it out on my own or with the FAQs on the site. But Vanta's support helped me expedite this and we were able to qualify for our security clearance that moved things forward with a client.

The biggest problem Vanta is solving is providing guidance to accomplish our security goals.

Unbelievably Great Introduction To Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful about Vanta was the customer support team who did not skip a beat in helping me. They were very timely with their emails. I never had to wait for a reply if I was having difficulties. They were kind and courteous and new what they were talking about and how to solve my issues. I can't say enough about the customer support team. I love how Vanta sends you a login link code via email instead of just putting in a password and possibly saving it. I found this very secure and when Im working with sensitive information that is truly important to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I can say were the downsides is I was unable to download Vanta onto my Chrome OS, therefore, I had to get another laptop as Vanta can only be downloaded on a Mac or Windows. This was the only downside for me. I was given ways to fix this dilemma, but it wouldn't work still unless I had a Windows or a Mac.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I haven't had a lot of time with Vanta to necessarily answer this question, however, I will assume Vanta is helping with privacy concerns since I deal with sensitive information and making sure my hard drive is encrypted so noone can get into it. The encryption is key to a lot of these leakages of information so I think it is great that they encrypt your hard drive.
I'm as far from an expert as one can be when it comes to SOC2 and Vanta makes me look like one!
What do you like best about the product?
Simply put: it's simple. I set up all our integrations, Vanta does the heavy lifting and points me where to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the interfaces can be slightly confusing - it took me a while to understand that Documents were different from policies and that the Risk management section needed to be filled out (I thought it was informational). The policy templates have some typos and formatting errors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small company, we do not have a team to track compliance. We must move quickly, and Vanta allows us to do that without a compliance team. The ROI calculation is simple, and Vanta wins hands down.
Easy to configure and get started
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to download and start right away. I have used it on Windows, macOS and Linux and had no problems so far. The documentation is also comprehensive, so there's no need to google every time you need to perform a task from the checklist.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's easy to trick Vanta by creating a separate partition and using another OS. For example, if you have a Windows machine, you can dual boot Ubuntu and install Vanta on it, which makes the Ubuntu partition compliant, but won't have any effect on the Windows partition. Not sure this is Vanta's one of the goals, but they should look into it and come up with a solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta makes sure a work machine has those necessary software and configurations to protect it from malicious attacks. For me, I have my drives encrypted; therefore, I'm certain my important data is protected all the time.
