Excellent Regulatory Compliance Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The organization that provides documentation for regulatory compliance is very useful. The interface is easy to handle and very intuitive, the "starter guide" is an excellent starting point for those of us who had no experience. The integrations are very easy to perform and work as they should. While it is not perfect, the Ilma bot can answer 95% of the questions you have as long as you formulate the question appropriately, it is truly an excellent support tool, and those it cannot resolve are quickly escalated to an operator. The risk assessment system is remarkable, as is the "trust center" that is offered starting from a certain percentage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Being part of a Spanish-speaking company, we have encountered a significant limitation when developing policies and documents. At the time of this review, the web interface of the platform is only in English. Although the language can be configured in both the "company" and "my account" sections, this does not change anything in the interface. The main problem this causes is when generating policy templates in Spanish, as we have to invest time in a process to adapt the translation and the meaning of the text to align them with the company. This requires considerable time and must be taken into account when planning progress.
The Vanta agent offered as a solution really cannot be recommended; it would be pertinent to integrate an MDM solution. It takes a long time to acquire the information and only detects encryption by BitLocker.
For the review of Vendors, an additional solution is offered that must be paid for separately.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem for Vanta is the translation of its document templates into Spanish. This creates a considerable extra workload that affects the project timelines. Some exceptions, such as in the case of teams that are encrypted by a solution other than BitLocker, are tedious to complete since the Vanta agent does not detect them.
Easy SOC 2 experience
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to filter by framework so that I could complete all of the items needed for our SOC 2. This was my first time doing a SOC 2 (Type 1) & first time using Vanta. Team was helpful and accomodating. Prescient did audit & they plugged into our Vanta portal without issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a lot on the portal so I think without instruction, it may not be inherently intiuitive. But once I understood how to navigate the tool, it worked well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us become SOC 2 compliant - Understanding what was needed, templates to use for some of the requirements & tracking completion were all helpful aspects of the tool.
Efficient Compliance and Security Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta simplifies compliance by automating many of the processes needed for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other certifications. The platform is user-friendly, and the real-time monitoring helps ensure our security policies are consistently enforced. Their integration options with tools we already use make the onboarding process smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features can feel a bit complex initially, especially for teams without dedicated compliance experience, but their support team is always responsive and helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating many of the processes needed for SOC 2.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta has transformed our compliance journey, the pricing can be a considerable hurdle. It is on the higher end, which may deter smaller organizations from leveraging its powerful features. However, I believe the investment is worthwhile, as it can lead to closing more enterprise deals and ultimately drive increased revenue, making it a strategic choice for companies serious about their compliance efforts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta effectively addresses the complexities of compliance by supporting over 30 security frameworks and automating up to 90% of the work, which significantly speeds up the certification process.
Great tool for small and medium-sized teams
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is excellent at assembling the massive, chaotic id of various compliance structures (many of which do not have a centralized entity for approval) and presenting the various documents, policies, and controls that must be ironed out in a reasonable, intuitive way. The scope of what needs to be done is massive, but I feel like I am never lost in the mix. Their customer support is also excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI for certain elements could communicate my action items in a clearer way. Sometimes it's hard for me to understand whether I need to upload something, click a certain check box after an internal review, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps me put all of our compliance and vendor management requirements in a single basket and do easy re-ups and evaluations.
Complete platform that lacks a few improvements
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is easy to get started with and allows you to achieve your compliance goals with all the available modules.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Vanta platform is powerful with many features, the problem is that the scores can change overnight without understanding why, which can give a feeling of losing control over the progress of these objectives. Another point, at the beginning many tests/checks are available without the ability to prioritize them according to the best practices of the targeted certification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta allows us to have a more detailed view of the steps and controls to comply with a certification.
The perfect tool to get a businesses information security process from 0 to 1.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes it super easy to manage our commitment to SOC 2 Type II. Since bringing Vanta on board, it has become a central part of our internal tech infrastructure and has fast-tracked the process of building an information security management system without requiring a huge amount of resources. It has automated tests that ping the relevant admins when they need attention, meaning that the responsibility of compliance isn't left to one person. It has a huge amount of integrations available.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would appreciate an onboarding video explaining how Vanta works for new users who are being added to the product as an admin to explain the nuances of the product, the responsibilities of being a control owner and remove the jargon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta help has helped us become audit ready and SOC 2 certified. It has built a system that auditors understands and users can easily use.
Makes SOC2 Compliance EASY!
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is 100% a necessity in order to maintain SOC 2 compliance. It ensures that as a small company we have rules, checks, and reminders, in place to ensure we are compliant year after year without having an entire staff dedicated to these regulations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is extremely customizable, which is great for companies in various industries, but I wish it was a bit more out of the box. This is the SLA and make it happen, versus us having to set the rules and determine how we want to be tracked. This makes implementation very cumbersome - especially when you are a first time user.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta alerts us when something needs to be updated and ensures we have all of the documents and policies in place that are required for SOC2 compliance.
Streamlined Compliance and Security with Minimal Hassle
What do you like best about the product?
is its ability to simplify and automate the process of achieving and maintaining compliance standards, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR
What do you dislike about the product?
is that the initial setup can be somewhat complex, especially for organizations that are new to compliance processes. The onboarding process requires a thorough understanding of your existing security infrastructure, which might be challenging for smaller teams without dedicated compliance expertise. Additionally, while Vanta automates much of the compliance process, there are still areas that require manual input, and some integrations might not fully cover all use cases, leading to occasional gaps in automated evidence collection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
