Consistent advice on security and best practices

  • November 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Vanta provides a lot of actionable tasks to make our system more secure and reliable. It is easy to connect to our services and ingest the signals that create the tasks. The monitoring part also helps by sending a daily digest of new issues the team needs to work on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, refreshing the tests when you make the changes to pass takes a little more time than desired. Also, some tasks lack more details on why they fail and how to fix them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We got into Vanta to start being certified on HIPAA and SOC2. It helped us pave the way to the certifications and evolve on some of the best practices for having a secure infrastructure.

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

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!

  • November 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

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.

Vanta was a crucial partner that helped us attain a new level in compliance

  • November 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Achieving and monitoring SOC 2 compliance, HIPAA compliance

Saved a lot of time and auditor costs

  • November 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's was very easy to get set up and get started. It's was mostly intuitive to figure out what needed to be configured. The guides that tell you how to fix the errors were great to put into tickets and give to the Devops team. Auditors felt very comfortable getting things done without a lot of back and forth.

They have recently added PCI compliance, so we will be able to use them for multiple types of compliance further reducing our auditing costs and time sink.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some things like alerts and employee onboarding and offboarding we're not entirely complete when we started using the product, they were added shortly after and since their recent funding round I see more improvements.

Some newer services on aws weren't detected immediately due to some configuration on out side and some on Vantas. But support was quick to help and fix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast SOC2 type 2 completion. Needed it done in 5 months. We were able to get there and also reduces our overall cost in engineering and auditing by at least 60%

Makes compliance a breeze

  • November 16, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Made the documentation and audit process much easier than we ever expected! We could easily see what needed attention and get ready for our audit much faster than we expected. Feels like a set-it-and-update-as-needed tool which makes compliance easier to manage.
What do you dislike about the product?
As Vanta has grown over the past few years, they are now launching more add-on features for additional $$.
This feels like we're slowly getting less and less value for what is already an expensive tool. Our success check-ins feel more like a sales pitch than a useful meeting.
I enjoy Vanta but hope this doesn't continue to make the product more complex to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preparing for and maintaining our compliance standards to meet SOC 1 and 2 requirements. We're able to keep up with any changes through regular Vanta notifications which makes the process much simpler to manage.
