What do you dislike about the product?
A little expensive but so far worth the price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need to get SOC2 compliant to have access to larger enterprise deals. We have succeeded with Vanta in a reasonable time frame.
Easy to use platform for Security and compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
I love using Vanta. It helps us track what we need to do for security and compliance. It is simple to use and I get updates when things need to be worked on. Our team uses it to ensure proper on boarding and offboarding. We use it daily. Great customer support.

Everything thus far is great! At the moment no feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Help track our audits, secuirty and compliance .
Initially seems expensive, but the savings in time and money are massive
What do you like best about the product?
The organisation of all of my certification control data, the integrations to AWS, Google Workspace etc to automate a lot of the data collection, and the huge pool of personalisable templates. Then the pool of auditors who know Vanta and can give far more reasonably priced audits due to the huge time saving for them. I've been able to do our ISO 27001 certification in FAR less time than I otherwise would have been able to.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial onboarding process is a little prescriptive and still shows as not complete even though I've completed three certifications using Vanta now. Some of the templates have some issues and I haven't heard back from my reporting these problems. But overall not much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small startup with limited resources and money, and we were quoted a very large figure of money to add to our existing PCI DSS certification ISO 27001 and SOC 2. For less than the cost of just the gap analysis from one provider, we've paid for all certifications and ongoing usage of Vanta. I actually couldn't imagine handling compliance without it now.
A really useful tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's a really need compliance tool, clearly setting out the tasks that need completing to attest compliance. The Trust Center is a valuable add-on to demonstrate our commitment to compliance to customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the functionalities are not user friendly. E.g. rolling out training was buried in the personnel default group settings
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We get asked a lot of questions about our security and privacy compliance from customers. Vanta has enabled us to achieve compliance and demonstrate it with ease.
Compliance aggregation simplified
What do you like best about the product?
The vast range of vendor products that Vanta has built integrations with. The dashboard and UI is incredibly straight forward. Very well built product. Easy for our ops and IT teams to implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is not transparent. When signing up to SaaS platforms or cloud vendors, pricing transparency makes things move a lot faster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensuring our business meets compliance standards with automated updates and notifications.
Simplified our SOC2 dramatically
What do you like best about the product?
It has great integrations with many of our key providers that makes completing SOC2 tests way easier. The interface is relatively straightforward and the setup didn't take too long.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not that intuitive to navigate the different menus and the terminology. It takes some time to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Vanta to manage our SOC 2 type 1 and type 2 process. It shows how we are controlling for risks across our business and systems.
6 months usage of Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta provides a robust GRC platform that excels at aggregating data and information across various systems, making it particularly well-suited for small and mid-sized businesses.**
The platform integrates seamlessly with existing systems, enabling efficient data collection, task management, and tracking. One of the standout features is its audit automation capabilities, which have significantly reduced the time required to implement audit processes and manage audit schedules.
Additionally, the questionnaire automation functionality is highly effective. The user-friendly interface simplifies the process of collecting, tracking, and maintaining questionnaires and associated knowledge bases. After evaluating several solutions for questionnaire automation, I’ve found Vanta to deliver some of the most impressive results in this area.
Vanta also offers valuable tools for risk management and for managing user onboarding and offboarding processes, including security awareness components. For organisations starting from scratch, Vanta provides a solid foundation for establishing effective compliance and security practices.

What do you dislike about the product?
- There are still a few bugs present in the system. While most are not critical, there is one in the Audit module that I consider to be quite significant. That said, all bugs and improvement suggestions I've submitted to our account manager have been logged, and some have already been addressed.
- Certain automated tests for cloud environments (AWS and GCP) seem somewhat redundant. As a result, meeting Vanta's compliance checks requires additional effort in modifying infrastructure, or alternatively, dismissing the check — which isn't an ideal solution.
- The UI/UX could be improved, particularly in the Personnel module. Enhancements in this area would make the platform significantly more user-friendly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We significantly improve the way and time for audits, structure vendor management, aggregate data and information across the systems in more useful way.
Intelligent, cohesive and user-friendly compliance platform
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is an excellent compliance platform - easy to use, very intuitive, and fully equipped for audit preparation. I have no previous experience in compliance and I found the amount of work overwhelming, especially for a SME SaaS company, but Vanta literally made my life easier! I absolutely love the pre-built policy templates, the automated tests and the clear and detailed guidance for submitting evidence. The variety of integrations also allows to connect tools that can then be monitored automatically. It is a tool that facilitates continuity in compliance work without losing track of the implemented and pending items. I also love how Vanta incentives progress tracking with percentages. It is such a small detail but to me makes all the difference. Lastly, whenever I need extra support I find very detailed and well-structured resources in Vanta's Help Center, and when I had to reach out to their customer support team, they answer in light speed and solve effectively any issues within the same day at the latest. That's something you don't see in many SaaS platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only major gap I've found in the last 4 months of intensive use, is that it's not possible to support multiple integrations of the same tool. For example, we have 2 different accounts for our HRIS tool, one for each legal entity of the company, but we can only connect one of them, resulting in half of the employees missing from Vanta. The same goes for our MDM. Other than that, I find everything else working perfectly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us keep track of our compliance work and improve pending security topics. It helps monitor employee compliance with internal policies and security practices and offers a centralized solution for all evidence that needs to be submitted ahead of a compliance audit.
Streamlining Security Certifications with Some Growing Pains
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta offers excellent ease of use and management for all compliance projects, which is a significant improvement over previous methods that were complicated and difficult to navigate. The platform streamlines what was once a cumbersome process, making compliance more accessible even for those without specialized expertise.
Another standout feature is Vanta's robust control matching and automatic checks against services like Gmail and AWS. This automation significantly reduces manual verification work and provides more reliable oversight of your compliance posture across your technology stack.

What do you dislike about the product?
he vulnerability management functionality is challenging to use effectively. Specifically, there are difficulties in managing exclusions and tracking remediation efforts. The system doesn't provide intuitive ways to prioritize vulnerabilities, which can make security management more time-consuming than necessary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Evidence Collection Automation: Before Vanta, gathering evidence for compliance audits was a manual, labor-intensive process requiring coordination across multiple teams. Vanta automatically collects and organizes evidence from connected systems (AWS, Gmail, etc.), reducing what used to take weeks down to hours or days.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring: Rather than treating compliance as a periodic "sprint" before audits, Vanta provides real-time visibility into compliance status. This shift from point-in-time to continuous monitoring means we catch issues early before they become audit findings.
Control Implementation Guidance: Vanta demystifies complex compliance frameworks by translating abstract requirements into concrete, actionable steps. Their guided approach helps implement controls correctly the first time, eliminating costly rework.
Cross-Framework Efficiency: Managing multiple compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.) used to mean duplicating effort across overlapping controls. Vanta maps these relationships, allowing us to satisfy multiple requirements with single implementations.
