Vanta gives me an action plan
What do you like best about the product?
We are a small team pursuing ISO 27001 and SOC2 certification. We are security conscious but are by no means compliance experts. The challenge for us was to figure out exactly what we need to do to meet the compliance requirements. Vanta translates compliance requirements into concrete and actionable tasks, and provides instructions for executing those tasks. They speak the language of engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some aspects of demonstrating compliance that our ISO consultant thinks could be improved. For example, demonstrating that we have a process for access reviews, and that we conduct them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that we are solving with Vanta is that engineers can't interpret ISO and SOC two requirements. They need to know exactly what to do to achieve compliance. Vanta does the translation between requirements and actionable tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanata makes the life of engineers easier. However, not all auditors will like or be willing to use the tool. Ensure that your auditors are comfortable with using Vanta, or better yet hire your auditors through Vanta.

Useful for tracking, but gaps and some busy-work
What do you like best about the product?
It is useful to have one source for tracking and monitoring security risks and processes. Some of the integrations are helpful and have eliminated some administrative work.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is sometimes difficult to understand when an SLA will be violated. In some versions of the UI, deep-linking to specific tests or remediation instructions hasn't worked. Vanta also produces a lot of work to redress trivial risks, but failed to detect some important risks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Vanta to deliver a secure software product and track our progress towards a security certification. Vanta has eliminated some administrative work, and identified some risks that other tools and processes did not.
Vanta is great for employee onboarding on SOC2 compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is great at managing computer assets, onboarding new personel and monitoring security vulnerabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to integrate and automate filling out the "owner" and "description" of cloud assets that are dynamically created. There should be a way to automatically assign these assets to a particular owner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 compliance, employee onboarding, policy creation.
You won't even notice it's running
What do you like best about the product?
The setup was straightforward; I just had to install the application and sign in. I didn't even notice it after that.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't find anything that I disliked about Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company got the SOC2 certification.
They have nice structured way to manage IT security compliances
What do you like best about the product?
I would say most likely I enjoy the onboarding process and a nice way to manage documentation and other security stuff on a single platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
For penetration testing, they don't have enough resources, I would strongly recommend some well-reputed security organizations and transparency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to manage our IT compliances with the help of Vanta and it's easy to get the information at single platform.
Solid product. Makes getting through SOC2 a lot easier. UI getting better too.
What do you like best about the product?
Everything you need to do is in one place. SOC2 compliance is just a headache and having the guidance and structure of Vanta helps a lot!
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI wasn't great to start, but honestly, it's getting better quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to get SOC2 compliant for our business needs. I don't think we'd be nearly as close this fast without Vanta leading the way for us.
Made cyber security and compliance easy.
What do you like best about the product?
I loved that we got an actual human concierge who helped us get set up. After that point, their automated scanners made everything else easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no dislikes yet. So far, it's a great product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed help scanning and hunting for vulnerabilities and threats. Vanta brought a few issues to our attention.
Smart Effective & All in One Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It provides a user-friendly interface and information, especially for those who have never been part of any compliance audit. It reduces the effort and workforce to achieve compliance audits.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ideally no major dislike but if we can have a direction from Vanta to achieve audit like SOC2, where one should start. I did not find a documentation around it. Also Vanta needs to improve their support response timeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are targeting SOC2 & HIPAA. The benefit is that we do not need multiple teams or domains like IT HR etc, to collaborate and work for Audit; Vanta as a single tool can be used to collect, monitor evidence. Also, multiple SaaS integrations provide flexibility.
Vanta is great
What do you like best about the product?
Makes SOC2 10x easier. Good tech and great support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. I guess it's a bit expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are helping my business achieve SOC 2 compliance
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We have no regrets
Well-considered, well-rounded compliance tool, backed by a great team
What do you like best about the product?
The product feels results focused. The product team have clearly gone back to first principles when designing Vanta and thought about the results the user wants to achieve, rather than starting with data structures and building a UI on top of this. This makes the product simple and efficient to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Risk management module is overly simplistic for my tastes. I come from an ISO27001 risk management background and whilst the Vanta module helped think through some basic risks, I wanted to develop a risks register based on our more detailed information assets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We bought Vanta to help with our SOC2 reporting where it brought time savings in terms of reducing the number of questions the auditors asked. Having said that, the biggest benefit is probably helping monitor our security posture on an on-going basis, particularly in terms of keeping us within SLA when resolving vulnerabilities.
