Vanta's great about keeping track of technology system resources and notifying us whenever we need to update configurations or documents. It's UX is easy to use and we get value out of our leadership/partners seeing summarized views of our compliance/audit status. It integrates well with our systems like AWS and Google Workspaces, and it also helps us automate parts of our annual SOC 2 audit when we engage an audit firm.

It takes a little while to get used to navigating the interface since there are so many areas and features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Simplifies compliance management and consistently adds new features
What is our primary use case?
I use it for compliance management.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of Vanta is its prebuilt control frameworks, which enable us to quickly achieve and sustain compliance without the need for extensive manual setup or configuration.
What needs improvement?
The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate. Sometimes, after satisfying a control, the dashboard may not immediately update, requiring multiple refreshes for accurate status display.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Vanta for about six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Overall, I would rate Vanta's stability around a nine out of ten. While there is occasional latency in status updates, it hasn't caused significant issues, and hitting refresh resolves any delays.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate Vanta's scalability around a nine out of ten. With constant updates and added capabilities like AI for third-party vendor reviews, it efficiently accommodates our organization's growth and diverse compliance needs.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Vanta was straightforward and I would rate the easiness of it as a nine out of ten. While there were minor challenges with integrations, overall, it provided policy templates and allowed for easy customization, making the process relatively smooth.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Vanta offers value through its partner ecosystem, potentially reducing audit costs due to streamlined processes and volume discounts from previous modules. I would rate Vanta at a two out of ten in terms of costliness.
What other advice do I have?
We use Vanta for SOC 2 compliance prep by integrating our security controls and policies. It automatically checks if controls are met, reducing audit time by about half since evidence is gathered beforehand, minimizing back-and-forth with auditors.
Vanta's continuous monitoring integrates with our ticketing system and vulnerability scanning solution, enabling real-time tracking of security issues. It provides an audit trail for vulnerability management, with built-in SLAs to ensure timely remediation and compliance.
I would recommend Vanta to others. It simplifies compliance management and consistently adds new features, making it effective and reliable for getting the job done.
Overall, I would rate Vanta as a nine out of ten.
Critical service to cyber any security posture !

Comprehensive, reasonably priced and easy to navigate

Good software and does an excellent job of finding vulnerabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Very good at finding vulnerabilities and guiding you through the document collecting and requirements for the chosen compliance frameworks (we do HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC2). Support was rarely required (only two tickets in 18 months) and they were quick to get resolutions. The product is simple to use and implementation was painless.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to do with Vanta. We were unable to assign the necessary resources to preparing for the audit. But Vanta got us a long way through the process. Do not underestimate the readiness tasks and be sure to allocate the necessary resources.
There are some add-ons that we believe should be builtin but are chargeable items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have urgent customer requests to maintain SOC2 and GDPR compliance on an ongoing basis. Vanta helped us in not only gaining compliance but in our ability to demonstrate it.
Compliance tool that saves me a lot of time
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the integrations and the ability to save documents for the auditors. My first time configuring the software was pretty easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrations are great, until they break. So there is continual maintenance involved. But I can say that trying to manage compliance without such a tool is much harder.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us get ready for audits, share evidence with the auditors, and maintain compliance ongoing.
