Saves Time and Simplifies Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta dashboard is a very quick and straightforward status of compliance. The product signifincantly demystifies the various security compliance requirements and gives you direction on how to address any gaps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to mention here other than Kaleido.io and Auth0 service integration is not supported.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta was very helpful in getting a startup team with some junior IT and DevOps resources aligned on what needed to be done and the best way to achieve compliance, allowing us to get SOC2 Type1 compliance with no exceptions noted.
Solid Sales and support, with focus on own abilities and strengths
What do you like best about the product?
The support is extremely available, and the setup makes it easy to get started if you are new to compliance. There is constantly new updates being rolled out, making the experience better and more user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure if there are any downsides, for us the main issue is the difference in timezones, since Vanta is US based and we are EU based - but as i understand it, that is about to get better, with the launching of offices in a closer area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta help us get in line with compliance, creates an overview of what is important and makes sure to remind us of different deadlines, so that we are constantly following up, and are not tracking things manually.
Vanta made SOC2 compliance easy, simple and straightforward
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful aspect of Vanta to our company has been aggregating all compliance requirements in one place. We don't have to question if we are missing certain protocols or standards when it comes time to our audit. I can login in daily and remediate any findings on our in scope systems and feel confident we have a compliant security posture for our clients and auditors.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few things I would change about Vanta. The first being how vulnerabilities are handled for servers using AWS inspector. There isn't much of a description or explanation for why a package needs to be remediated. It does link to the vulnerability finding but this doesn't show how to remediate. It would be helpful to see what version it needs to be upgraded to or provide instructions on how to remediate it. It would also be nice to add some type of note system in there. That way if multiple people are working on vulnerabilities they can see each others notes and know if the issue is already being worked on. There is a Jira integration that will let you create tickets for failed test, so this could be a work around for that.
The second would be how some things in Vanta sync. For example, we use Hexnode to monitor our laptops. It can take up to 24 hours for Vanta to recognize a hard drive was encrypted. It would be nice to be able to force a sync somehow so that we can see quicker if people are keeping their laptops compliant.
Finally, the way people are sorted in to groups could be improved. Currently, a user can only be part of one group. It would be nice if they could be part of multiple groups.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that Vanta solves for us is keeping all of our compliance work in one place and eliminating the guessing game when it comes to what we need to stay complaint. By coming in to an audit with almost everything already in compliance speeds up our certification and makes it easier to acquire customer who require SOC2 or other security standards. This allows us to make money quicker and shorten audit periods.
Head of Engineering
What do you like best about the product?
We needed SOC2 certification at our company, and we didn't even know how to approach it. Someone recommended Vanta as an all-in-one solution for all our compliance needs, and we decided to give it a try. Vanta gave us a clear checklist for achieving Soc2 compliance, gave us tools to automate some organizational tasks, and, finally, connected with an auditor who issued us a certificate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the recommendations ended up being extraneous, and the auditor actually never asked about them. Still, it's good that we've fixed all of them and, hopefully, improved our overall security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us get SOC2 type I certified and stay continuously compliant for SOC2 type II.
Level up your Compliance and Risk Management Programs!
What do you like best about the product?
Vant has been instrumental in leveling up our compliance and risk management program. We've been using Vanta for several years, and it maintains a step ahead of our maturing goals to create a roadmap for our success.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish there was a little better control tie-in to policies. I'd love for the product to recommend policy updates based on the new control frameworks and regulations that I've purchased within the product. The relationship between Policies and Controls could be stronger.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta puts portions of our Compliance Program into automation. With the various integrations it natively uses, we can bring in data from multiple disparate software products - this takes the load off evidence collection. Our audits are more easily passed and efficient with GRC products like Vanta, and we are grateful for their assistance.
Vanta was the shortest path toward SOC2 compliance
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to integrate with your systems turns compliance into an actionable checklist.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like more integrations to alert us of upcoming changes or compliance failures (e.g., webhooks).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta put us in the best possible conditions for a successful SOC2 Type II audit.
Becoming SOC2 compliant - it doesn't have to be too hard!
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta made the SOC2 compliance process relatively easy by automating most tasks, helping us at SimplyPut understand how many items were left to complete, and providing exceptional support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tasks could have been automated a bit better, but I believe that Vanta is in the process of automating those as we speak. For example, some forms might be easily set up to be auto-filled instead of having the find and replace lots of text.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us become SOC2 compliant relatively quickly so that SimplyPutcan show customers we have secure practices to handle their data! As a data company, proving good security practices is paramount, and we're delighted to have Vanta help us showcase how seriously we treat security and compliance.
co-founder, CEO
What do you like best about the product?
Helpful reps to assist in set up, questions, demo/review allowed us to get started going towards SOC2 quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really - price is a little steep but SOC2 compliance is in general, overall Vanta actually saves money.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster time to showing security posture and policies for working with Enterprise customers who have high security needs.
Excellent automation and centralization for compliance needs
What do you like best about the product?
The integrations and automations provide an excellent central source of truth about your systems from a compliance viewpoint. The policy templates are well thought-out and offer a great starting point on your compliance journey. The customer service team has been very engaged and seems to care about our company and its compliance needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more integrations (I understand they are adding new ones all the time). It would be great to get to the point of very minimal evidence uploading. Sometimes automated checks will overlap with different third-party integrations, and you need to go in and manually turn off different checks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company felt we were in a good place from a security standpoint (and we're HITRUST certified), but we wanted a better platform to consolidate, remind, and automate more of the ongoing compliance process. Vanta was able to fulfill our goals and ease the compliance burdon on our workforce.
Don’t know anything about SOC2, or how to get one, Vanta is your answer!
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta helped us understand the process of navigating through the vast number of steps and controls we had to put in place to qualify for SOC2. Vanta also automated a big chunk of work for us, making the whole experience a pleasant one.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better understand the full cost. There are 3rd party costs involved that we weren't made aware of. Vanta could help us understand the full cost ahead of time to avoid and unexpected surprises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating the checks, controls and policies required to obtain a SOC2 security certificate. Vanta also helped us with introductions to 3rd party vendors and auditors.
