Great tool to navigate through certification requirements
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta helped us identify the areas we needed to work toward our certification. Then integration with AWS and Azure AD saves us a lot of time in continuously monitoring our systems and making sure that we remain compliant and that the whole process is not a "one-time exercise".
Our Customer Success Manager (Taylor Buckler) helped us from day one until certification, and we were not dropped after the onboarding period.
As a product, there are a lot of new features getting released often enough to keep us engaged.

What do you dislike about the product?
There were a few product glitches and issues in the early stages, especially since some features were released during our onboarding. However, Vanta Support and Taylor were there to assist us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us get ready for our auditing, not only with the tools (i.e., Vanta templates or integration with AWS) but by also providing a "meter" as to how close we are. It is exciting seeing that you are at 50% and then do a few things and go to 60% and keep trying to get to 100%. Once you cross the 95% mark, it feels like hitting a high score on a video game!
Of course, keeping the meter at a high level is the second part of the game after the certification, and Vanta makes it easy to identify areas that need attention. So it is not a one-time tool, but an ongoing essential part of our business.
Trust Center is a great place for our customers and potential customers to get answers and "3rd party" assurance. Death to questionnaires!

Vanta has been incredibly helpful in securing our systems and completing a SOC2 audit.
What do you like best about the product?
The extensive integration with GCP and other vendors makes it very simple to satisfy most audit requirements. Many people vendors used by startups are supported.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be time-consuming to handle situations where the default tests executed by Vanta do not
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to achieve security certifications efficiently. Vanta allows us, even as a small company, to be able to automate security scans, documentation, and security audits.
A one stop shop for compliance management
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta platform is intuitive and allows a high level of automatization and customization, and provides out-of-the-box integrations. The platform is evolving rapidly, and the product team listens to the customer needs. All integrations we are using are working well and are easy to set up, and we see with the roadmap features that missing integrations will be available. Online help is helpful and allows self-learning. The Vanta Academy is a great added value with small videos showing how to operate efficiently within the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frankly nothing! The only point we pointed out during the evaluation was the 3rd party vendor feature, which was recently resolved with the recent addition to the product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to reduce the effort related to SOC2 audit preparations and continuous compliance review. Also, help to keep the IT teams focusing on controls instead of reporting with automation.
Providing an auditor portal also reduces the overall cost of performing the SOC2 audit. They can also streamline finding the right audit firm with an impressive list of auditors collaborating on the platform. Instead of investing in lengthy manual processes, Vanta helps to place the investment where it brings the most value for our team by reducing the internal effort to support the audit firm.

Not perfect but in constant improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful about Vanta is being able to organize, view, measure and monitor your requirements and their status. Best thing about working with Vanta is definitely their team.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not very customizable, so it was sometimes difficult to adapt to a small company like ours. The Vanta team is always happy to receive feedback and improvement wishes, and some were even implemented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is centralizing all our effort in one tool, which makes our work so much easier and saved us a lot of time.
We don't have to worry about forgetting any requirement, evidence, monitor, etc. all is there

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ISO27001 accreditation
Quick and Insightful
What do you like best about the product?
The compliance monitors are great, coupled with the built-in security best-practice tests. Vanta has greatly reduced the time, understanding and effort to review compliance. I also love how by integrating some of our critical business systems, the tests are already mapped to the compliance standard's requirements, and we can easily demonstrate to stakeholders our compliance levels.
What do you dislike about the product?
The risk management module is relatively rigid and we have not been able to customize it to our needs. This includes the impact and likelihood definitions and risk levels.
The vendor module lacks depth but is good for entry-level compliance tracking of supplier risk.

Vanta makes compliance (I dare to say) fun
What do you like best about the product?
- Love the way Vanta has gamified compliance. The app makes it fun to work towards getting each progress bar to 100%.
- Great integrations with the critical pieces of our stack: AWS, Google Workspace, Github, etc.
- The trust report has been a great tool to send to prospective customers proactively.

What do you dislike about the product?
- The web application is a little buggy and can get slow during peak usage times during the day.
- Missing a few integrations that would allow us to have all of our cloud systems monitored in one place

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helped Prepare Us for Soc 2 Type 2 Audit
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes prepping for security audit a smooth experience. The Vanta team is extremely responsive throughout the entire process and is always available to hop on a call or attach helpful articles explaining how to go about using their portal and getting the correct information inputed.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of any downside to Vanta. I find the whole program to be very through and easy to understand with prompt customer service and knowledgable people to help guide us every step of the way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped our company prepare for a Soc 2 Type 2 security audit. This allowed our company to do a deep dive into our controls and protect our sensitive data and information to the best standards which help put us ahead of the competition and keep our customer information safe and secure.
A great tool for evidence tracking
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has been extremely helpful in organizing and tracking security controls within our organization. It helped save me time by automatically collecting most of the evidence required for our SoC2 audit.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integrations list is still somewhat limited. The UI is very busy and rigid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has helped us track the evidence needed to show compliance with our cybersecurity and organization's rules.
Not the cheapest SOC2 automation platform, but it's the best
What do you like best about the product?
They really do make it easy to figure out everything you need to do to get your SOC2 certification. The connections to Google Suite, Slack, AWS, etc and the continuous monitoring mean that you're never out of compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
We still had to hire a third-party person to help us set up all of the controls. This isn't Vanta's fault as there's just a lot that goes into getting SOC2, but I think they could've suggested that or mentioned it during the sales process as I made it clear I had no idea what I needed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We lost a contract because we didn't have our SOC2 certification, and even contracts that were willing to work with us took way longer to sign that necessary. Getting SOC2 was a way to speed up our sales cycle and close more deals and Vanta helped us do that
