Streamlines Compliance with Minimal Hassle, But Integration Challenges Remain
What do you like best about the product?
I think Vanta provides a comprehensive UI and UX experience that clearly shows how well we comply with different frameworks. It integrates the auditing framework in a way that feels streamlined and easy to follow. Vanta also guides us through setting up regulatory controls by offering remedies and instructions on how to meet the requirements. Overall, these features make it much more accessible to manage compliance frameworks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the integration experience could be improved. The integrations do work, but I’ve had trouble getting them up and running. Even though the product shows you what you should be doing, once you hit an error you can feel a bit stuck. Customer support will work with you and they’re quite comprehensive, so you’re not truly left to your own devices, but it’s still easy to get hung up on certain integrations.
Also, I feel like ISO 9001 is more of an afterthought and not really a focus compared with more IT-regulated frameworks like SOC 2 or ISO 27001. The initial setup was fairly easy, but it still isn’t finished on our side. If you’re a company with an array of SaaS tools and you need to integrate each and every one of them, no one is really going to sit with you for a full day to run through all those integrations. In my experience, the onboarding isn’t necessarily very structured, and that’s where things can slow down.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta to automate compliance with ISO frameworks, reducing manual checks and integrating our tech stack. It streamlines policy creation, making compliance less dependent on individuals.
Easy-to-Use Audits in One Place with Solid Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is really easy to use and integrates well with the tools we already have. The best part is that we don't need to go back and forth with auditors using giant spreadsheets anymore. Everything is in one place. Uploading evidence is simple and saves us a lot of time during audits.
Performance has been solid for us. Our workload isn't huge so we haven't really pushed it to the limits, but we have no complaints there. Support and onboarding were great too, the app is pretty intuitive so we didn't need much hand-holding to get started.
On pricing, it's a bit on the higher side, especially if you're a startup going through your first audit. That said, the ROI is definitely there once you see how much time and effort it saves you.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some user flows are hidden deep inside specific pages and not easy to find from the main menu. I get that they want to keep the menu clean, but it takes too many clicks to go from a failing test all the way to, say, removing a computer from an employee that left the company. And if you go directly to the computers page, it's not obvious that there's an unassigned computer sitting there. A bit more visibility on those things would help a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small company without a dedicated security team, and we needed to get SOC 2 compliant. That's where Vanta really helps. Normal engineers and operations people who don't have deep expertise in security controls can use Vanta and trust it to guide them through the whole audit process. It makes something that feels overwhelming actually manageable for a small team like ours.
Helpful mitigation guidance, but GCP integration flags removed assets
What do you like best about the product?
The section that explains how you can mitigate the issue is helpful, especially because it shows multiple approaches to do it, such as using Terraform, the Console, or the CLI.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are issues with the GCP integration. We removed the asset completely, but Vanta was still flagging it.The AI support bot is not very useful .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We cant to be SOC and PCI compliant .
Solid Out-of-the-Box Compliance Frameworks
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to get started with out-of-the-box compliance frameworks, very helpful for beginners to get started. Saves a lot of time. Helpful support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is quite pricey. AI could be better integrated into the solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can get started from scratch quite rapidly, even without previous experience.
Simplifies Compliance, Boosts Reputation
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity and intuitiveness of Vanta. It makes the complex process of compliance much easier to manage. Having everything simplified in a viable and compliant way is super valuable. The initial setup seems pretty easy as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, I would have to use the platform a bit more since we're in the middle of the audit. But, I mean, evidently, these types of things take time to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us get contracts with clients and boosts our reputation, which we can leverage.
Security enhancement features stand out, but lack user-friendliness.
What do you like best about the product?
It seems like you manage the security of work computers well. The 'device monitor' feature is particularly impressive. Through this feature, you can monitor the usage of work computers and ensure that non-employees cannot use them.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's inconvenient that changing the computer name requires reinstalling everything from scratch. It seems like it could be done through the computer's internal IME or something... Also, ScreenLock wasn't set automatically, so I was asked to install it manually, which was cumbersome. Additionally, it was a bit difficult to configure... I'm not a developer, but I had to work in CLI mode to solve the problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Resolve the company's SoC2 compliance issues, enhance the security of work computers with a device monitor, and prevent non-employees from using them.
A Single Source of Truth for Policies, Evidence, and Audit Readiness
What do you like best about the product?
It creates a single source of truth. Policies, evidence, controls, and audit status all live together. When an auditor asks a question, you are not hunting across email, shared drives, and ticketing systems. You can see what is missing, what is stale, and what is already approved.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s ongoing overhead to keep everything accurate. Integrations can break, agents go stale, users change roles, and environments evolve. When that happens, Vanta may flag issues that aren’t always a real risk, but they still require explanation or cleanup. The task lists and audit updates often reflect recurring work to refresh access reviews, evidence, and mappings, even outside formal audit windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It scales better than manual processes. As environments grow, staff changes, or frameworks stack up, Vanta keeps the structure intact. You are not rebuilding your compliance process every year or re teaching it to new team members from scratch.
Vanta gets you through the toughest aspects of compliance with ease
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is a very comprehensive and intuitive platform that guides you through the compliance processes. Having everything in one place is highly advantageous and efficient for our organization. The policy templates are a huge time saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints about this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are pursuing compliance and auditing of specific security frameworks applicable to our industry, and Vanta makes this very simple. The amount of time saved makes the software practically pay for itself.
