An Indispensable Compliance and Security Partner
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's two greatest strengths are its platform's ability to expose continual monitoring for all aspects of your compliance journey and, most importantly, a dedicated guide who can help you navigate it. As a small business, we have limited resources available to focus extensively on finding and monitoring compliance concerns. Vanta makes determining "what you need to monitor" and "how to implement the monitoring" an extremely straightforward process. Vanta also provides a dedicated account manager who, in my experience, can help demystify the end goal of your compliance efforts and help prioritize what you need to do next. I would estimate the time we've saved by partnering with Vanta in the hundreds of hours.
What do you dislike about the product?
The nature of Vanta's platform is that it attempts to provide a "best practice" approach to achieving your compliance goals but must do so without knowing much of the nuances of your particular business and business architecture. Once we connected our supported infrastructure partners to Vanta via their Integrations, I'd say Vanta was about 85% spot on with its recommendations on how to start or improve our monitoring. The other 15% of Vanta's recommendations did not apply or work for our systems as-is, and in some cases, we turned off the Vanta monitoring and had to create a workaround. In the end, however, this wasn't a massive issue since our account manager and our auditor could answer our questions regarding that 15%.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta demystifies the jungle of compliance, especially for companies like ours, where our compliance resources (especially within IT) are minimal. Vanta gives you prescriptive guidance on obtaining your compliance goals while also providing continual monitoring to help keep you compliant.

It can be a little difficult to get all of the components, documents and controls uploaded and updated as required. Information owners have to be administrators rather just being set as the owner of the the data.

Great Product/service, with some minor growing issues
What do you like best about the product?
I am a massive fan of compliance management tools, as they do reduce the burden of achieving compliance with specific standards. After trialing a fair amount of them, I have found Vanta offers the best solution across the industry. Its UI is intuitive to drive, and reporting from it is terrific. Also, seeing your alignment with other standards is fantastic; it helps with our planning processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think they are growing incredibly quickly, and some of the communication aspect I have come to enjoy from other vendors they seem to be missing, such as active communications about changes or releases, tracking of feature requests, and similiar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the burden of achieving and managing an Information Security Management System across an organisation, allowing me to focus on other security items of value.

What do you dislike about the product?
A few minor rough edges, but not too bad. A few filters removed items the auditor checked (SOC2 type 2). Nothing crazy and it didn't cost us the audit or anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
* It helped us get SOC 2 compliance.
* It makes maintenance to keep in compliance a breeze.
