Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Notification. It has a gread dashboard experience, I could review all of the compliance and tasks need to do to help our IT and business to improve our security level.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not support windows11, and some of the connections do not have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 and SOC3, after we used Vanta, we could promote our IT platform level to SOC2 and SOC3, and in the future we will be PCI compliance as well.
Provides a spotlight into the darkest corners of your enterprise.
What do you like best about the product?
Having a tool that can scan for areas in our infrastructure that we may not even know exists and point out accounts that do not have MFA on them helps us be proactive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mac OS Keychain not being considered a password management application because it is there out of the box. This can be circumvented by installing a different password manager, but no mechanism ensures a manager is used, only installed. This seems overly pedantic and does not address good password hygiene.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Still in the early stages, but it has shown us a lot of 'low hanging fruit' that were quick hits to fix up. It also identified some databases that did not have alarms set.
Excellent Tool to accomplish SOC2 or PCI
What do you like best about the product?
You can monitor the status of your infrastructure and help to cover different points as monitoring, security, policies, etc, Also helps to create a complete onboarding process for your company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the vanta-agent has issues registering the computer's employees, and you need to review the documentation and try different steps to resolve this incident.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Make sure your infrastructure has the correct policies and the points you need to cover if you need a complaint (SOC2). Currently, Vanta helped us to have an onboarding process for all employees and new employees.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure use automatizations to made easier improvements in your infrastructure using IAC
Great Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has been a great support towards our certificates that we wish to obtain and the team has been equality supportive when we have questions and concerns about where we are and where we want to go
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that Vanta could utilize tools like google signin to identify saas tech stack and shadow IT... I am not enjoying the manual process that I am going through right now
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working to achieve our soc2 and iso2700
Works as expected
What do you like best about the product?
UI is easy to follow and understand, the findings are easy to find and figure out what needs to be remedied.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you have multiple AWS accounts for example and multiple of them violates a rule, then they all get clumped up together, it would've been better if there's a way to sort violations out by account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Vanta to ensure that our environments are secure and follow laws and regulations like HIPAA.. etc.
Vanta has improved greatly over the time that we've been using it!
What do you like best about the product?
The team. They are all extremely helpful, friendly, and knowlegeable. Everyone gets back to questions surprisingly fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some elements of the UI are less polished than some of the competitors we looked at. The policy editor and tracking of changes have been improved, but could still use a bit more attention, and more training options would be great (anti-phishing, password management, things like that).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are approaching our first SOC2 audit, having a platform like Vanta helps us know what needs to be done, collect evidence in an efficient manner, and ensure that we meet all of the requirements without a high level of effort.
Great with AWS
What do you like best about the product?
Automated Test that integrate with cloud service providers
What do you dislike about the product?
Some test have to little information what resource or service is meant
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting SOC2 and ISO27001 certified
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get your entire team involed on maintaining compliance
Easiest way to get SOC 2 Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Straightforward with exactly what we need to do and has built in monitoring tools to automate as much of the work as possible. We've evaluated many tools up until now and this has been superior to every other one.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is definitely a bit confusing to set up many of the simple features. Not a big fan of how many things are cramped into the settings bar. However, functionally it does everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 Compliance & HIPAA Compliance
Vanta was a crucial partner that helped us attain a new level in compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's checklists, cloud connections, and existing relationships and tools for auditors have been extremely valuable in helping us work towards SOC-2 compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price is maybe a little bit high, but was definitely the best option for us.
One thing that would be nice is a more supported way for users to opt-out of the Vanta agent tracking. My company has several privacy-minded users that (reasonably) do not want to install tracking software on their machines. Vanta and the auditors support manually taking screenshots and uploading them periodically, but I have to manage this process by hand when it should be possible to automate it over email to the users.
