Using Vanta simplifies audit preparation and compliance becomes easy
What do you like best about the product?
Because of the multiple platform connectors Vanta provides and the precisely documented work instructions, the audit preparation process is easy when utilizing the tool. Also the simple architecture of the company and the helpful templates it offers help me to focus on my work instead of worrying about the smallest detail of compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Given the high learning curve needed, it would appear difficult for a new user to negotiate all the options Vanta had to present. Another element causing the general high cost is the extra fees for particular services; this is particularly troublesome for smaller companies and startups. Delays make it difficult to accurately monitor development, hence I wish information on completed projects were sent in a more timely fashion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is in charge of managing all of the challenging compliance chores connected with SOC 2 and ISO 27001, so I do not need the services of a compliance crew created especially for this aim and this guarantees that I am maintaining all the set security criteria in addition to helping me save time.
Effortless Compliance Management with Great Support
What do you like best about the product?
One of the best things about Vanta is how it streamlines the entire compliance process. They make it so easy to understand what’s needed at each step, especially if you're aiming to meet SOC 2 or ISO 27001 standards. The automated monitoring is fantastic—it continuously checks for any compliance issues without me having to dive into each area manually. The platform is also really intuitive, even if you’re new to security compliance. It gives clear guidance and keeps track of all the tasks that need attention, which means we can focus on our actual work instead of being bogged down by the complexities of compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s honestly not much to dislike, i am happy with the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta really takes the headache out of staying compliant. Before we started using it, prepping for audits like SOC 2 felt overwhelming—there were just so many moving pieces to track, and we were constantly worried we’d miss something important. Now, with Vanta’s automated checks and clear step-by-step guidance, we can keep everything in line without it taking over our workload. It’s saved us tons of time and made us feel way more prepared and confident during audits. Plus, the constant monitoring means we catch any issues early, which is a huge relief.
Complete Platform for Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes compliance much simpler by automating evidence collection and tracking, which saves us a lot of time and keeps us audit-ready without manual effort. The dashboards are clear, and it’s easy to see our compliance statuses.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some integrations can be tricky to set up initially, but they are trying to help with this as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us streamline our SOC2 and ISO 27001 certification preparations and audits by automating evidence collection and continuously monitoring compliance. This saves us significant time and reduces the risk of missing critical documentation or steps. With Vanta, we stay on top of our compliance requirements, making audits smoother and helping us build trust with our clients.
Vanta for SOC2
What do you like best about the product?
SOC2 is a _long_ process, having a checklist and a progress bar is the only way to maintain sanity and ensure that you have everything completed before starting your audit. It's easy to tell what's left to do and what steps you need to perform. I honestly don't know how people go through this process without Vanta.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's fairly expensive. Generally if you're looking for SOC2 or some other compliance you're working with large customers, but if you're small then this service is cost-prohibitive.

SOC2
Vanta makes compliance feasible and affordable for small businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's system integrates with hundreds of different systems, making it easy to automate tasks and tests. Additionally, there are provided templates for almost all documents needed to give you a starting point and guide you in the correct direction for drafting. Beyond checking the box, the Vanta platform guided us seamlessly through the compliance process and fundamentally helped our organization change the way we operate for the better. Whenever confusion or questions came up, our support rep or the customer service team was also very prompt with responding and assisting. They also connected us with potential audit firms and organizations we needed to complete our certifications. We use this platform almost every day even when we're not under audit, and almost any size of organization could benefit from this platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Even though Vanta makes compliance so much cheaper than traditional means, it's still a fairly expensive platform, especially for small businesses. They're plans are now more integrated, but the add-ons can add up in cost as well. They'd addressed this with new "packages" to bundle these add-ons in. I do wish some of these add-ons weren't so expensive for smaller startups, which desperately need to the most automation but have the smallest budgets. They continue to add new integrations every month, which makes it work very seamlessly, but still missing a few we'd like.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is making it easy for organizations to comply with a multitude of security and compliance frameworks in a self-serve manner. We don't have dedicated compliance people to work on this full-time, so the ability for our team to be able to have access to the knowledge and requirements without needing a team of people is a huge lift. It also makes the audit process extremely easier and MUCH cheaper beacuse the auditors can rely on all of the automated tests and checks for evidence for their audit reports.
Great experience with Vanta as a tool, and smooth process with recommended auditors
What do you like best about the product?
Available integrations cover most of our tooling, and are easy to setup. Good communication with CSMs. Audit process is a lot easier compared to manual evidence collection and interviews.
What do you dislike about the product?
CSMs change very frequently. Some auditors require extra controls to be added manual, which seems unneccessary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Save time on audit evidence collection and interviews. Keep ongoing check of our compliance. Keep vendor management documentation. Provide security training.
Excellent Tool to Automate and Organize Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Well done interface, has excellent prompting to ensure you stay on top of compliance needs. Good organization of compliance checklists, policies, and procedures. Functions very well as a source of truth on compliance standards and status.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is quite large and can be a bit daunting at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primary problem it solves is ensuring we don't miss anything in our various policies and procedures. Staying on top of compliance is a large task nowadays and Vanta puts it all together to give you a source of truth and an excellent memory bank to all policies as well as what steps are needed to stay in compliance.
Vanta simplifies SOC2 policy documentation and saves >40% efforts in evidence creation.
What do you like best about the product?
Policy template is easy to use. Integration with AWS and Github easies evidence creation. We can check readiness status before schedulding an audit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Risk scenarios are tricky to use, and snapshots could be out of sync at times. Automated tests are two-edged swords, and you can't upload alternate evidence or test results to override the automated test results.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifying the security compliance and attestation process by integrating with AWS for evidence collection.
Vanta Review
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is a very useful tool for meeting compliance standards. It helps fill in certain gaps in terms of compliance which can be a major time saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is a very useful tool, but could also lean towards the pricer side, especiaclly for smaller and newer companies. Vanta does a great job of automating processes, but often tasks can be flaged for minor issues that require human intervention to resolve, sometimes leading to false positives.
