One of the biggest time saving tools we have for compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's ability to integrate with third-party tools to monitor our compliance status saves a great deal of time every year during the audit process. Additionally, the monitoring and alerting capabilities gives our team the necessary insights to ensure all areas of the system remain compliant.
What do you dislike about the product?
The 'Risk Assessment' section in Vanta can be a little tedious. I feel there is room for improvement with the User Interface for this section to reduce the number of clicks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Vanta for SOC2, Type II Compliance. The tool allows us to continually monitor our compliance status as well as assign tasks to prepare the necessary information and evidence for auditors.

Great experience with getting SOC 2 Compliant

SOC 2 Compliance to expand our market and increase sales win rate
Easy setup and comprehensive tool
What do you like best about the product?
Setting up Vanta was extremely easy, from setting up the integrations to adding vendors and building policies. In times when we required assistance, the support and implementation assistance team was very quick to respond.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't had any downsides at this point. If I had a wishlist, it would be to auto-import SOC2 / ISO27001 audits automatically from more vendors and to expand the integration footprint overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance is a major requirement for our industry, and we don't have a dedicated compliance team internally. Vanta is making it possible for us to achieve our compliance goals without major overhead and investment.

Easy onboarding and intuitive dashboard for me and my team to use to get things done, love the template options for documents and policies and the monitoring feature with integrations is great.

Really haven't found anything major at this point. Some of the items for SOC 2 were not applicable for my company so would have been nice to know what was not needed so I could skip over them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping my company get ready for and complete our SOC 2 Audit, we also use them to maintain our SOC2 status. By integrating with our current systems and having a turnkey solution it is making the process very straightforward.

Vanta makes compliance a breeze

Vanta made it clear what we needed to do and when. As a busy, small team, it's so important to know exactly what needs done! Vanta's team is also incredibly helpful!

Honestly not much! A better way to see a comprehensive view of our resources in AWS (across multiple accounts) would be nice.

What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup phase was a little buggy and took a few attempts to work as we lost connection to our cloud provider once or twice. This issue has not happened again since, however.
Integration with MS Teams would be helpful for our use case.

I honestly don't think we would've passed our audit without Vanta.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta gives you a live picture of your organization's compliance status. Throughout the entire compliance process, we knew where we were. Without Vanta to provide clear direction, it would have been nearly impossible for me to keep up with SOC tasks. I also loved my Vanta rep's bi-weekly check-ins. It gave me confidence that we were going in the right direction.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, I found a few bugs within Vanta. Vanta turned this into a positive by showing off its fantastic support. I sent off a detailed bug report, and the minor bug would be fixed within days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped my org become SOC 2 compliant and continues to do so for future audits. Right now, we are in our audit window for type 2. As we speak, Vanta is scanning our org for compliance issues. Instead of me having to check our AWS accounts manually, Vanta does it for me. When someone does something they shouldn't, Vanta lets me know immediately.
Integrated and automated
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use with integration and automation, reduce internal manual work, and increase visibility for all teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need more templates for documents in order to get quick deployment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance
Everything you need for SOC2 in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is centralized and at your fingertips. They provide a good starting point. Support is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
SOC or any of these compliance frameworks can be very confusing, especially if you are new to these audits and processes. Out of the box templates for policies include a lot of information for what seems like many of the frameworks they support. It's not always clear what you need to keep vs. what could apply to other frameworks and isn't necessary.
This isn't specific to the product but Vanta advertising makes it seem like you can gain your compliance in a few weeks, which isn't accurate. Maybe if you worked on this 40 hours per week and had a dedicated team to it. Most companies they're targeting are small startups, so it most likely takes much longer. They should be more truthful/accurate about timelines in their ads. Or focus on a different aspect of their value proposition altogether.
