Vanta makes compliance a breeze
What do you like best about the product?
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!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly not much! A better way to see a comprehensive view of our resources in AWS (across multiple accounts) would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta solves the problem of preparing for our SOC 2 audit and creating the necessary documentation. Vanta makes this process as simple as it likely can be and helps your team keep track of when items are due. It also integrated with all of our other vendors.
Vanta excels at streamlining your compliance journey
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's easy-to-navigate layout, refined resource monitoring abilities, and policy management make it a stand-out solution for organizations looking to ensure all bases are covered on the road to compliance.

We're also benefitting from the integration with our device management platform, allowing us to monitor the compliance status of user endpoints as the list of assets changes.
Vanta has consolidated seamlessly with Jira, allowing us to delegate actions and findings to project leads with low friction.
Overall we're confident Vanta is helping us successfully streamline our journey toward ISO 27001 certification while providing several additional benefits.

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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our commitment to achieving ISO 27001 certification within the next fiscal year means we need all the assistance we can get to prepare for audit. Vanta helps identify areas for required improvement, where to focus our compliance strategy and allows us a single-pane view of our progress.
We're also utilizing Vanta to bridge communication gaps between teams where a security vulnerability has been left unattended in the past.

Pretty high efficiency of response, end to end solution advisory in building security service.
What do you like best about the product?
The high securities protection solution deployed in the back counter, almost no disruption was observed from user perspective.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many policies to be accepted , they had better optimized into one or two.

Google Workspace security protection
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.
Vanta was a relatively painless experience to get our SOC-2 / GPDR compliance
What do you like best about the product?
A large number of integrations and automation made our compliance certifications very user-friendly to implement. The rollout of the new UX is excellent compared to the old one.
Vanta integrates with most of our tools; we found the frequency of reminders is low enough not to generate unnecessary noise.
The dashboard is clear; the policy templates are convenient for gaining time on the process.

The dashboard is clear; the policy templates are convenient for gaining time on the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the dashboard alerts are a bit too overwhelming to differentiate between failed alerts, documents requiring updates etc. Also, during the control period, we had to upload policies on the auditor's website, which made a bit too much duplication between policies in Vanta & those registered to the auditor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta allowed us to get our SOC-2 / GPDR certification with plenty of automated controls. We did not need to spend too much time writing our policies and made configuration on tools a breeze.
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

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.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not any big issues, but if they can improve "going back to previous page" functionality, it would be really great. Right now I wander in navigation and every time I have to go back to home page or module-specific page. Not a big issue though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Vanta is providing help in completing our SOC2 compliance.
2. Vanta is also helping organize the work and policies in a systematic way.
3. Our next target in ISO 27001, and Vanta is helping in that as well.

Great Team and Product - Still Lots of Work
What do you like best about the product?
The system itself (and software, for that matter) provides a great framework for preparation in compliance. Between policy examples, sample documents and guidelines, and multiple checklists - Vanta has developed one dashboard to greatly speed up the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's still a lot of work in order to receive the compliance you likely desire. This is not a done-for-you type of product, and still requires a tremendous amount of legwork to still get to the finish line.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta shows us exactly what needs to get done or completed in order to be found within the compliance frameworks (which, for us is SOC2 and HIPAA). It's easy to see what needs to be added/taken away/enforced with Vanta.
