The hands one interaction with our account manager. Automatic device compliance tracking. Easy-to-view statuses on flagged items.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to close specific types of contracts more quickly with the SOC2 compliant certification. Less heavy lifting for our tech team too!

Great product & team
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use software that just worked. Helpful CS counterpart walked us through the SOC2 process from inception to audit. We had a great experience end-to-end.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had a very positive experience. There was one native integration with our database that was not supported out of the box, though I'm told it's on the roadmap. The team helped us understand how to account for this in the audit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 compliance automation. It was seamless to prepare for the audit and we saved many hours selecting auditors and collecting evidence with the automated test and integrations Vanta provides.
Does what it says well
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has helped our team become more on the ball with our compliance program implementation. The API integrations have been worked without issue and the connections have been very easy to setup.
The hardest thing about software like this is to become invisible and Vanta has managed to achieve that. Our account manager has done an exceptional job in helping us get into the platform and get the most out of it and has continued to spend an inordinate amount of time with us on our implementation.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some weak points around integrating with existing internal trainings or workflows that are not a first-class API integration. This can mostly be solved with some incremental product updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Vanta to manage our compliance efforts for SOC2, HIPAA and ISO 27001. The ability to export the evidence in a structured manner has greatly reduced our teams' workload during audits.
Compliance peace of mind!
What do you like best about the product?
The automated tests provided by Vanta help us have an easy bird eye view over all our resources and concentrate all evidence in one place, providing peace of mind that everything is under control and enabling us to act when something is falling off the plate.
What do you dislike about the product?
No support (yet!) for automated push groups from the identity provider. This doesn't allow for a fully automated onboarding since we always have to go to Vanta to assign the user to the right group.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping track of all compliance-related aspects that we need to keep under control. This saves us a lot of time (and money!) by relying on automated test alerts that avoid constant checks and reviews.
Excellent Product for SOC-2 Compliance Needs
What do you like best about the product?
The Product is designed well for SOC2 compliance, though it supports other compliance aspects too. The software guides through the SOC2 process excellently. One does not need to know all the processes involved for SOC2 compliance, and a novice user too can understand it easily. Every step in the system for Process documentation, People On-Boarding, Risk Assessment documents, there is a straightforward guide. There are predefined template documents that one can use to complete the intuitive compliance documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some security compliances are mandatory, but there should be a place to customize them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For a Startup Company, Vanta has helped immensely to complete the SOC2 compliance in a short period quickly.

Easy to use Product, Guides a novice to SOC2 compliance process
Vanta makes compliance easy
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta adds an amazing layer of simplicity to getting to the various compliance standards that we needed to meet as a company. We reached SOC 2 Type II compliance a few years back without hiring a compliance team. A few people were able to use the task lists that Vanta provides as a way towards getting this done while also focusing on the other requirements of our positions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little that I dislike about Vanta. If I had to find something, I would say that occasionally product update emails seem to get lost in my daily task list item emails from Vanta, which leads to a bit of a shock when I log into Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved the issue of getting to SOC 2 Type II compliance and simplifying the annual audit process without the need for a compliance team but rather adding a marginal amount of work to others.
IT Manager review for Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
I like that integrating Vanta agent; it flags all my users' machines that are out of policy. For example, I know when a user adjusts their 5 min lock screen display or does not have Filevault encrypted. The agent is super helpful in making sure everyone is up to policy
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't particularly appreciate how the Vanta UI constantly updates without being informed. Almost every month I log into Vanta, a new feature is pushed and sometimes I am unable to find things. This is really bothersome. Also, the Vanta Agent does not auto update on some machines. Many times machines would get flagged even though they are still compliant. I have to tell users to remove and then install the agent again. I never know when these updates happen and it slows my work down a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving a lot of issues with finding out what servers are close to missing SLA due to misconfigurations. I am also solving onboarding issues - Vanta for sure lets me know when a user has not downloaded the agent, accepted company policies, and have not completed security training. The onboard process for contractors has been helpful with using vanta as well! I was able to make sure contractors have their own checklist to complete.
Vanta: Making the Complicated, Simple
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes it extremely easy to understand the priority actions amongst a sea of compliance requirements. Due to the application's clarification of what the tasks are and when and how they need to be done, project managing the achievement of a compliance standard becomes ENJOYABLE, dare I say, and a breeze to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found the application navigation a bit cumbersome and inefficient at times, but it's straightforward once you get the hang of it. Most importantly, the navigation has improved over time, evidence their product team listens to their users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta enabled our organization to achieve SOC 2 compliance without any experts in that area and do so very quickly. We had over 300 remote workers worldwide who needed to take SOC 2 compliance actions that, without Vanta, we would have never gotten our arms around it. We have just started HIPAA compliance with them, and we couldn't be happier. The tremendous amount of business we've been able to obtain due to our SOC 2 status and the ease with which we can now manage it has made Vanta worth every cent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to achieve SOC II compliance, or other security/compliance standards, efficiently, quickly, and without headache, AND THEN manage them with total ease moving forward, get Vanta.
Great Platform for GRC management in Cloud Era
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is an excellent platform for GRC compliance in the cloud era. It has perfect integration with almost all your cloud service providers, actively updating information from your HR, access control, infrastructure, SaaS vendors, monitoring SLA compliance, and gathering evidence management. It helps to prepare for the auditing preparation, has all evidence collected in one place in an organized manner according to the control. It saved us a lot of time and effort also cut down our engagement with Auditors by more than half.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing Really. If there is on thing, The PDF report exporting module could have been better to allow better customization. Maybe if it could be cheaper. Overall, we are very happy to be a vanta customer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 and ISO compliance management. Significant saving of manual effort and improved productivity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a cost effective auditor-friendly way to manage your GRC and have a lot of cloud resources to integrate with, Vanta should be your choice.
