Great ROI for removing a lot of security-based administrative burden
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta allows our company to reduce the heavy administrative burden of security reporting and tracking - leaving our company to be on top of our security posture and set up to succeed against various security audits that our organisation is faced with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be improved if many of the manual tasks flagged in Vanta were something that it could automate!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 Compliance and tracking. Tracking our security documentation and software in a faster way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Measure up how much time is taken when trying to keep compliant to the various security standards. There is a bit of upfront work with Vanta required to make the whole setup usable - but the benefits come from it's longer-term usage against security standards that take a while.

Took the pain out of compliance for SOC 2 Type I
What do you like best about the product?
We went into this process expecting the worst - vendors we've engaged in the past overpromise and under-deliver, customer service doesn't exists. Quite the opposite with Vanta, they delivered exactly what they said they would, on time, on budget.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really can't complain - we had a job to do: Attain SOC 2 Type I compliance, they helped us get it done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and privacy compliance certification.
Fantastic for SOC 2 and HIPAA Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
We needed to become compliant quickly and Vanta was a lifesaver. So much easier and faster than any other path we found.
What do you dislike about the product?
When we first signed up in 2020 there were some UI flows that were hard to use. But they have been very receptive to feedback and have made big strides in making the UI easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting compliant for SOC 2 and HIPAA
Vanta helped accelerate our audit
What do you like best about the product?
The need to gets things complete off of the automated tasks helps keep you in compliance. Knowing that all of your items are good to go helps give a busy CEO/CTO peace of mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup is tedious and can take quite a lot of time. Evidence collection wasn't built in previously and is still a bit hard to navigate. Depending on the auditor you use, you may still be spending quite a lot of time keeping compliant.
There are still some things that Vanta doesn't do well on the evidence collection side. In fact, we had to navigate a few exceptions because Vanta reported some items incorrectly.
This doesn't automate 100% of your SOC 2 requirements but still does a fairly good job.

SOC 2 Type 2 audit
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just keep in mind that SOC 2 is not a certificate nor is it a compliance requirement, it is an audit. Audits help surface what you could be doing better in your organization and you can tweak your controls as you wish.
Vanta is not an auditor and can sometimes get tricky if your auditor isn't really well versed with Vanta (even though the auditor was recommended to me by Vanta).

Easy to use and incredible integrations
What do you like best about the product?
At Sleuth, we found Vanta to be an amazingly straight-forward way to pursue our SOC2. If you're running a SaaS business like ours, Vanta's integrations with AWS, Google, and all our other providers meant that performing control checks was automated and easy. We were anticipating many months of work to get our SOC2, and Vanta cut down our expected effort by an order of magnitude.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't remember having any complaints, everything seemed great. The team was very supportive and responsive, and we've had an excellent experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary goal was seeking a SOC2 for our customers, however we discovered a number of benefits in terms of ongoing security review automation and policy templates that made scaling the HR side super easy.
It is a good tool to start the SOC 2 audit
What do you like best about the product?
The agent that is installed on the computer gives a very useful overview to review important aspects regarding the safety of the company, provides the necessary requirements to take into account before going to the SOC 2 audit, in addition to providing some advantages in tools security you require to comply with SOC2
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like some reports to be a little more detailed, and to be able to customize the inspection depending on the size or characteristics of the company, for example for startups
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we improve our policies
We review our entire work team and correct possible issues with the security before they are exploited
It allows us to gather what is necessary to present a SOC2 audit

Good tool, I recommend it before going to a security audit
Vanta helped us get to SOC2 Type2 quickly
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's approach to automation as a default really impressed us. Their default way of ensuring compliance is to automate the compliance check with very minimal work on your part, often just integrating them with your cloud service, hr system or the like. That allowed us to minimize the amount of work we had to build a bespoke SOC2 system and let our engineers focus on building end customer value while still ensuring we had the correct controls in place to handle our customer's data in a secure way.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've run into a number of technical issues, some of which have been slow to resolve. We've also noticed that when you don't want to achieve compliance the exact way that Vanta has automated the check, it can be difficult to get the system setup for that. For an example of the latter, we had very good tagging but Vanta couldn't use our existing cloud tags, we had to go in and add an additional tag to every resource in question.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We engaged with Vanta to minimize the upfront and ongoing costs of getting to and staying SOC2 compliant. We achieved SOC2 Type 2 in a very short amount of time compared to what it would have taken doing it on our own.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking at getting SOC2 for the first time, Vanta should be a platform you consider helping you on your journey.
Excellent software, great services, and continual additions of new features
What do you like best about the product?
What's not to love? SOC II audits are brutal without a system like this - it's inconceivable that people worked through these enormous audits without a system to track progress and share metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do wish that Vanta connected with Zenefits for pulling in background checks. The new Workspace One integration also needs some love.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a tasklist that updates automatically is a lifesaver - both in terms of time and money (that would otherwise be spent paying auditors to manually compile / chase info).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Unless you enjoy excruciatingly manual audits, add Vanta to the mix and make SOC II fun.
Great Shortest Road to SOC 2 for Smell Companies with Single or No Security People
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta will integrate with your identity store, cloud accounts, and laptop (or laptop management) to run checks that are required for SOC 2.
What do you dislike about the product?
They're a little bit behind on their integrations. For example, they don't support AWS SSO, so there's a big blind spot that we couldn't get visibility into through Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single pane of glass to run security checks through many different cloud applications. It helped us to get close to SOC 2.
The best in automated compliance monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta allows you to fully automate your security monitoring and get you ready for security audits in few months. Their Customer Success team is exemplary, keeping a regular health check of your compliance program with frequent updates and weekly action items to make sure you are up to speed with your compliance activities.
They keep adding new features, capabilities to the system enhancing the user experience.
The system is intelligent and keeps you informed of the pending tests, new tasks, and provides useful reporting tools for your internal follow-ups.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing that I can think of that I dislike about Vanta. The whole experience from sales to onboarding and weekly progress meetings with their Customer Success team is awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to get ready for our SOC 2 audit in the best and most efficient way possible and luckily our paths crossed with Vanta. Vanta not only provided us with the best-in-class automated compliance monitoring tool but also helped us connect with top-notch audit firms.
The Vanta tool has really helped us in improving our security posture and we feel confident in the progress and maintenance of our compliance program.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta is a highly recommended tool to automate your security and compliance monitoring. The tool integrates with your existing systems and keeps you updated on your completed, pending, and upcoming tasks. A relatively new feature is the provision of automated audit reports based on the controls already implemented that you can share with your clients.
Once you have experienced Vanta, you will not think of any other tool to improve your security compliance.
