Vanta massively helped us to achieve SOC2 compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is immensely helpful in translating the language of AICPA SOC2 standard controls into actionable insights. It gave us a very clear understanding of what we needed to do to become and stay compliant - it was almost like a checklist that was extremely satisfying to complete. In addition, Vanta provided us with a great set of policy templates that were pre-approved by compliance experts and at the same time had simple and understandable language. We only had to make fairly minor edits before implementing them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is a fairly expensive tool, but I still believe that the value we got justifies the costs. There was some duplication in the documents we were submitting to Vanta and to the auditors, but I believe that it is just a matter of time until the audit firms catch and use everything Vanta provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially, it allowed us to achieve SOC2 compliance quickly. Right now, it is still continually monitoring our security posture with automated integrations to our cloud provider, SSO and other internal tools. We never miss our SLAs thanks to Vanta.

Vanta made things faster and easier.
What do you like best about the product?
Using Vanta made the SOC2 process easier and faster with using their platform. Our lead, who had done this process at previous companies, said using Vanta made the process faster and easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not sure if there are any downsides to using Vanta! You could do some of this on your own, which may save money, but you would spend a lot of time that could likely be better spent elsewhere.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Their platform lets you easily see what areas need to be addressed to comply. It tracks progress in all of these areas and provides a tool to quickly get the rest of your organization on board to do what they need to do.
SOC 2 Readiness
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has helped our company build a strong security program by showcasing the standard security compliance expectations to best serve our customers. We have successfully completed our first SOC 2 observation and the platform has made it simple to track employee compliance, automated monitoring, and now with a Trust Report option, provides our prospects and customers a go-to place for up to date compliance while reducing the back and forth communication that could potentially become blockers in some instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
Assigning ownership to various controls has been a bit confusing. One tab shows controls being assigned, while a few days later, a different area has unassigned controls appear when I thought they had all been taken care of. I would prefer to see this all in one place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us solve our SOC 2 readiness and continuous monitoring. This has been helpful to maintain up to date records of our systems and security program and has proven to be useful in building trust with customers.
Engaging and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
I like the layout of Vanta, as the project management process is much more straightforward than the others I reviewed. The breakdown of the tasks and the progress tracker works v well
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see their range of integrations broaden in some areas with a potential open API integration possible to allow for the more varied tools out there to bbe incorporated into the automation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has given us definite and continual oversight of our security processes throughout our ecosystem. It has also taught us best practice c-suite methods, which we have incorporated into our organisation. The clear oversight of the compliance process has also given us an end-goal driven approach to what previously felt like an unwieldy and neverending task
Vanta reduces risk every day and keeps compliance on schedule.
What do you like best about the product?
Integrations that monitor the platform infrastructure, employee computers and critical systems we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Real-time monitoring is a double-edged sword. Compliance alerts interrupt plans and schedules, but they ensure controls are fixed quickly, and risk is reduced.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta allows us to scale. The integrations, monitors and checklists give us the coverage we need to manage security controls, audits and effective GRC.

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to setup/configure with many integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike. Great product!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Better than advertised!
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is a very advanced tool with amazing automation for compliance that has proved invaluable in the process of becoming audit ready for our SOC 2. With the advanced integrations with our cloud infrastructure and identity management systems, when things change, we're alerted to changes in our compliance with SOC 2.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found one yet. They're always improving their platform and it's so intuitive to use, I was able to just jump in and get started without any training or research. It's simply amazing!! Best decision we made in 2022.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC 2 preparation to become audit ready in record time. Creating our various company policies that align with best practices have improved our organization and has set us up for success.
Instant path to SOC 2
What do you like best about the product?
They have a platform that outlines all the steps to get compliant. Their automation handles about 20% of the checklist, either granting instant compliance or automatically turning green when ready. Good templates.
What do you dislike about the product?
SOC 2 has some items that aren't hard requirements, but nothing in the platform indicates which are which. They expect you to opt out of what does t apply, but ... how are we supposed to know when that is the case?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
"Getting SOC 2". I didn't know the first place to begin but now we have a path and supports to get there.
