Vanta cut months off our SOC 2 prep by automating evidence across our AWS + SaaS stack
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta turns compliance into an ongoing workflow instead of a yearly fire drill. The integrations pull real evidence from AWS, Okta, GitHub, and endpoint tools so we see gaps early and assign owners. The task views, policy templates, and auditor export packs saved us huge effort during SOC 2 prep. Customer success has also been responsive when we onboard new environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
The device and app inventory isn’t always accurate—especially Macs reported through Intune—so we still chase manual evidence (e.g., confirming 1Password installs). Customizing or suppressing certain tests for edge cases can be clunky, and mapping bespoke customer controls sometimes needs support help.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta automates compliance monitoring across our AWS accounts, GitHub repos, Okta, and endpoint devices. It removes the manual effort of gathering evidence for SOC 2 by continuously checking controls and surfacing gaps. This saves us weeks of work during audits and helps us stay secure year-round.
Helpful Compliance Support for a Growing Startup
What do you like best about the product?
The automated tests save time and the integrations help us stay on top of what needs attention without a lot of manual effort. The Security Center is also a nice way to share our compliance posture externally.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Vanta supports audit partnerships, the collaboration between Vanta and third-party auditors could be more integrated. There’s still a good amount of back and forth outside the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a lean startup, we don’t have a dedicated security team, so having a central dashboard to manage access reviews, monitor integrations, and track policy compliance has been a huge timesaver. It also gives us confidence when engaging with customers or auditors, knowing we have a clear and ongoing compliance posture.
Transformative compliance tool, though setting it up takes patience !
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes compliance feel achievable and less overwhelming. I love that it auto collects evidence from tools like AWS and Gmail, turning what used to take weeks into a few days, and the policy builder is a lifesaver .The automatic control mapping and real time monitoring are smooth and help me stay consistently audit ready.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration problems can trip me up—like only being able to connect one HRIS account, which left half our staff untracked for a while. Also, the initial onboarding felt a bit overwhelming with lots to configure, and the vulnerability management UI could be more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has been super helpful for preparing a SOC 2 audit meant endless spreadsheets and chasing teammates. Now it automatically gathers evidence, monitors continuously, and guides control implementation. All in one dashboard ,that shifted to real time compliance slashed our prep time and boosted confidence.
Vanta took the stress out of SOC2 Management!
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Vanta for me has been how much manual effort it replaced. Before using it, I was switching between spreadsheets and chasing teammates for audit evidence. Now, I connect our tools—Google Workspace, AWS, Jira, everything—and Vanta continuously pulls data and checks controls automatically. It saves me hours each week. I also really like that it gives me a live view of our compliance status instead of a scramble at audit time. Their prebuilt policies and templates helped us get our SOC 2 done way faster than expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts of the dashboard can be a bit slow or clunky, especially when reviewing access controls .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It completely changed how I handle compliance. I no longer have to dig through old docs or rely on memory to prove what we’re doing. Vanta automates evidence collection and highlights what’s missing in real-time. When we went through our first SOC 2 audit, the auditor barely asked us for anything because Vanta already had it organized. It made the entire audit process smoother, and we even closed it ahead of schedule. Onboarding vendors is easier now too—there’s a whole vendor management flow that saves me back-and-forth emails.
A good compliance and automation platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has a integration facility which automatically controls many of the controls. The best part is evidence automation.
Practical platform to follow trainings and internal policies
What do you like best about the product?
Navigation is simple and straightforward, which greatly facilitates quick access to mandatory training and security and compliance policies. The clean and objective interface helps focus on the content without distractions. Easy implementation and good customer support. Our team uses it whenever there is an update in internal policy. Easy integration.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile experience can still improve. Some pages take a long time to load or do not adjust well to the phone screen, which can make access difficult outside of the desktop. Additionally, it would be interesting to have an option to save or export completion certificates directly from the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The greatest benefit is the centralization of mandatory content in one place, with clear notifications about deadlines and pending tasks. This ensures that all employees are aligned with the company's compliance requirements. Additionally, tracking the confirmation of reading and completion of training is very easy.

Streamlined our compliance and boosted trust with automation and transparency.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has significantly reduced the manual burden of audits by automating evidence collection and mapping controls across multiple frameworks. Its integrations provide real-time visibility, and the Trust Center simplifies sharing security posture with customers. The platform has helped us scale compliance confidently while enabling continuous improvement.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta simplifies core compliance tasks, we’d like to see deeper remediation guidance, more intuitive support for vendor risk tracking, and expanded metrics for executive reporting. Enhancing cross-framework mapping and offering better controls for AI policy governance would also increase its long-term value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us move away from scattered, manual compliance tasks and brought everything into one place. It automates evidence collection, keeps us continuously audit-ready, and gives our customers real-time visibility into our security posture. That’s a big win for trust. It also frees up my team to focus on higher-value security and AI governance work instead of chasing screenshots and spreadsheets.
Vanta - Fast track to SOC compliance
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the psychology behind Vanta's platform. We continuously strive to reach the 100% progress bar at all times! We love the constant notifications when tests fail, and that helps us remediate them right away!
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting set up with Vanta to start was a bit challenging. It seemed to be a challenge getting the team to understand how our business operates and what was the best way to tackle SOC compliance with how we operate as a business.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Staying in compliance and remediating tests that determine if we are in compliance or not!
Vanta for SOC2
What do you like best about the product?
We used Vanta to help us get ready for our SOC2 audit. Super easy to use and had a ton of out of the box policies and tests we could adapt to our environment. We also tried out their access review feature and loved it!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all of our vendors integrated with the platform so we did have to do some manual work on that end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were overwhelmed with where to start for our SOC2 audit and Vanta helped aggregate everything in one place.
