Great for Simplifying Compliance, But Would Benefit From Better User Education for Novices
What do you like best about the product?
Takes (most of) the stress out of getting started on your compliance and audit journey.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a relatively intuitive program for something that is so multi-faceted and complex as compliance. However, there's still an opportunity to improve user education in a way that doesn't rely on people in APAC having to join webinars at 2am.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we didn't know where to start and weren't thrilled at the crazy expense of using an external compliance consultant.
"Informative and Helpful, but Process Can Be Overwhelming"
What do you like best about the product?
What I really like about Vanta is the overall layout and the way information is organized throughout the platform. It’s intuitive and easy to navigate, which makes finding what I need fast and straightforward. I also appreciate how Vanta doesn’t just flag issues but provides clear, actionable tips on how to resolve them. The guidance feels practical and helps our team stay on top of compliance tasks without unnecessary confusion.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I find challenging about Vanta is that the platform can sometimes feel overwhelming. With so much information and so many features, it can be confusing at times to know exactly where to find specific details or tools. A more streamlined navigation or clearer pathways to key information could make it easier to use efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us achieve and maintain SOC 2 certification, which provides verified proof of our security practices. This not only ensures that our systems and processes meet high standards, but also boosts our credibility with clients and partners by demonstrating that we take security seriously.
Vanta Simplifies Compliance, But Needs More Flexibility and Robust Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes compliance management actually manageable. The automation around evidence collection, integrations with AWS, GitHub, and HR systems, and the continuous monitoring significantly reduce manual effort.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integrations, while extensive, can sometimes be brittle or slow to update when underlying systems change. Customization options for controls and evidence collection could be more flexible. Reporting is functional but limited if you want deeper analytics or export options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta streamlines our SOC 2 compliance process by automating evidence collection, tracking controls, and maintaining continuous monitoring. It eliminates the need for manual spreadsheets and ad-hoc document gathering, which saves a huge amount of time during audits. Having everything centralized also improves visibility across the team and ensures we stay audit-ready year-round, not just before deadlines.

Streamlined Compliance and Audit Savings, Despite Lengthy Initial Setup
What do you like best about the product?
Several things:
A. Vanta provides an organized approach to assist in completeness of our small business compliance needs and documentation
B. Ability to automate many of the necessary steps
C. SOC-2 auditors can be provided direct access and are able to complete many of the audit steps directly from our Vanta information that has significantly reduced the cost of the SOC-2 audits.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can take quite a bit of time to get Vanta set up initially, but that may be lack of full understanding of compliance needs prior to having our first SOC-2 completed.
After the initial setup, the continued use is very simple and saves a lot of time overall.

Additionally, Vanta's reputation and trust in the SOC 2 space convinced us of its reliability, a sentiment echoed by many familiar with Vanta. Furthermore, the integration with our internal tools is seamless, allowing us to maintain the security and processing of those tools with ease. Overall, my experience with Vanta has been positive, and based on this, I feel confident in choosing it again for our compliance needs.

Simple Setup, Helpful Integration
What do you like best about the product?
I find the setup of Vanta very simple, which allows for a smooth start. The pre-made templates for individual documents, guidelines, and policies are particularly helpful as they save a lot of time and make organization easier. I also appreciate the automated reminders for tests, which keep me constantly updated and ensure that nothing is overlooked. The ability to upload spreadsheets, especially Google Spreadsheets, and links as evidence is very practical and supports seamless documentation. Additionally, I like the automatic integration with our software like GitLab or Personio and other tools, as this makes working more efficient. Everything seems very sleek and modern, which provides me with a pleasant user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would have wished for different scopes for small, medium, and large companies. What I really miss is a kind of calendar where you can enter all review dates or other data to automatically receive reminders and have a better overview.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most helpful are the templates for documents, guidelines, and the reminders for tests. The ability to upload spreadsheets and links facilitates the verification process.
Head of Architecture

It is a product that is always evolving. New features introduced monthly
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be challenging to determine who is responsible for failing tests when the underlying resources are managed by different teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing isms in a semi-automated way offers a balance between manual oversight and automated processes. This approach allows for greater efficiency while still maintaining control over important aspects.
Centralized Security Made Easy, Though Interface Can Be Overwhelming at First
What do you like best about the product?
This tool is useful for consolidating all our important security information in a single location. The real-time monitoring of our services and the intuitive dashboard make it easy to keep track of everything. Additionally, it assists with offboarding procedures, which is a valuable feature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, I get a bit lost navigating the interface. Even though my background is in IT engineering rather than security, I have to say that the explanations provided are generally clear and helpful.
However, I do wish that the requested apps were added more quickly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is very helpful for keeping track of the most important aspects related to hardware, software, and third-party vendors who have access to our accounts. It also assists in monitoring security measures on our hardware, such as password managers, screen locks, drive encryption, and malware protection. Additionally, it plays a crucial role during personnel offboarding by tracking all essential data and reminding us if anything is overlooked.
