Drata Simplification
What do you like best about the product?
Simplified the process of getting our SOC2 cert. As a smaller team, it enabled us to save time and keep our process streamlined and organized so we could attend to other matters instead of having a full time compliance employee.
Customer support has always been very friendly and prompt. Can honestly say that I feel that I wont have to wait when I engage them for help.
What do you dislike about the product?
The agent that gets installed on the computer sometimes has issues reporting the correct details. Maybe a version change or maybe bugs.. But when it happens, we have to focus our attention on figuring out why someone in our company is reporting "out of compliance".
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing our Policies for SOC2 and keeping track of all of our employee's, entities such as servers and cloud compontents. Doing this automatically saves a log of time.
Drata is an effective, helpful solution to assist with the SOC2 process
What do you like best about the product?
Drata breaks SOC2 tasks down into discrete chunks, which makes it much more approachable (especially as someone who doesn't have a background in Governance/Compliance).
Drata's support is great, with knowledgeable agents available to answer questions on-demand, and an extensive knowledge base of helpful support articles.
Drata is always upgrading its features and functionality.
What do you dislike about the product?
Communication and task management functionality within the app (for discussing with teammates) could be better. Some controls are not well explained.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Drata has been instrumental in guiding my company through the SOC2 process.
It's a complicated system to use, but it still saves me time
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of information, most of it useful. I can do everything I need to from the UI. Great support. Very useful to have it plug in to our environments to automatically assess compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's somewhat obtuse in the way it presents information. There are a LOT of different angles from which you can view compliance, and it has a specific way of presenting things that doesn't always align with our view of the world. Having said that, it's still a good labour saving device.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a force multiplier when it comes to compliance resourcing. 1 FTE can manage the work of an entire team.

How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used several solutions before. Every company uses different software; not everyone goes for the highest qualified security systems available.
What was our ROI?
It doesn't provide monitoring benefits or savings directly as it's an assessment platform, yet it offers comprehensive compliance features.

Drata is very expensive with each API incurring a cost. It is described as a costly tool. Rarely do people choose the most qualified security assessment tools due to cost considerations.

ServiceNow is cheaper, around $25,000 per company compared to Drata. Other tools evaluated include Avaya and various VMware products.
