What do you dislike about the product?
I'm excited about new frameworks that Vanta is working on. While PCI compliance framework is provided, I am looking forward to the day they can produce the SAQ documentation out of Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped us get SOC 2 compliant quickly with minimal investment.
While any compliance framework takes time to develop and customize policies and procedures, Vanta provided templates and a framework to meet the controls and make the audit process seamless.

Vanta has made it easy to elevate our security
What do you like best about the product?
Not only was it easy to get connect all of our systems to automate most of the tasks, it was quite easy to move our company into a SOC 2 audit quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the Vanta agent is buggy, they also don't integrate with our Mac MDM Addigy. But overall even with that I'd give it a 10 our of 10.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 compliance
Vanta Saved me Days/Weeks in Prep Work!
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful part I like about Vanta is the dashboard indicating where work needs to be done.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no downsides to using Vanta. This tool will help you get up to compliance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping us to keep us compliant.
Vanta Makes it Simple!
What do you like best about the product?
We really appreciate the simplicity so we know what to do! The dashboard really helped organize and prioritize what needs to be done to pass our audit. The audit partner network was very helpful to have the same audit process in Vanta.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes Vanta csv type exports can be clunky or not present at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta enables existing teams in organizations to achieve security compliance without hiring expensive consultants.
Vanta has been a godsend in helping us get through our SOC 2 audits.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has saved us a lot of time gathering evidence by automating controls for our compliance audits. It allows you to integrate with many industry-standard infrastructures. In working with an auditor that has leveraged Vanta, our SOC II audits are pretty painless. We had attempted to prepare for SOC II for several years. After getting bogged down in sorting through and trying to understand the controls, we sought help. Vanta was able to help us achieve a successful SOC II audit with no exceptions.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta has many integrations that we use, there are a few more that would get the last few manual controls out of our hands. I haven't used anything else, but Vanta has served us well. They have also gone through rapid improvements in updating their templates for policies. While I believe this overall is a great thing, it has caused us to go back and redo work that we would have liked to avoid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta gives us real-time monitoring of our compliance and security needs. It provides a framework to complete needed controls and meet our promised SLAs efficiently. It saves us time and employees to keep track of the minutia of SOC II and HIPAA.
Vanta has been very helpful helping us achieve and maintain SOC2 compliance
What do you like best about the product?
The Vanta product offering and the team have been very helpful to us, starting with creating policies, helping us decide what to monitor and how to monitor it, and continuing with the dashboards they provide that ensure we remain in compliance within our SLAs. The team has also been very responsive to requests and feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most painful part of the process to me has been doing an adequate job of risk assessment. This seems to be a hard problem in general, and the Vanta tool was not much help. If there was some sort of industry-specific "cookbook," that would be extremely useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to solve the problem of achieving SOC2 compliance and then remaining compliant without having to spend a large amount of human time doing so. Goal achieved.
SOC 2 Compliance with a lot of help!
What do you like best about the product?
The templates were probably the most helpful part for me. There are many lengthy documents that are required for SOC 2 compliance and having a solid place to start from was incredibly helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I see has to do with specific tests related to some of the more complex features of AWS. I generally have to go to a third party to get those resolved, but I have to admit that is due more the complexity of AWS than it is Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to become SOC 2 Type 2 compliance to grow our company and attract larger clients. So far this has been a huge boon and we are crowing about our success on our website and marketing materials.
Vanta takes the guess-work out of compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's software makes it very easy to enforce security policies through out our organization in a way that doesnt feel overbearing. It strikes the right balance between full-automation and prompted human-intervention when alerting for exceptions. Vanta has also been quote helpful for us as a small business in directing toward the types of policies and standards we should adopt to meet industry compliance standards.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any growing software interface, Vanta is continuously adding features and making improvements. This can mean re-learning certain navigation and site features from time to time as they move around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps keep us SOC2 and HIPAA compliant without paying a full-time consultant or employee to manage the somewhat menial check-ins on security required. They have also acted as a guide for us in both setting appropriate security standards and controls, as well as finding top-class auditors to help with certifications.
Vanta was the only way we got our SOC 2 certification!
What do you like best about the product?
They integrate with all of the tools and systems we use. Their customer support is friendly, and efficient, and helped us with all the technical questions we had.
What do you dislike about the product?
SOC 2 as a whole doesn't seem to do much for data security. Sure we have to follow all of these rules that make it seem like our customer's data is more secure but in reality, the SOC 2 framework doesn't prevent massive breaches in security from occuring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta allows us to become SOC 2 compliant in a time-efficient and reliable way. Their tool makes understanding the scope of SOC 2 a breeze and their relationships with auditors allows us to get he best deal
Makes the simple simple again
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of scalability and alerting. Vanta takes otherwise simple concepts and introduces technology in a way that makes it simple to scale and deploy in high-growth environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't perfect so if you are looking for something that is going to meet the spirit of every requirement, then your expectations may be misaligned. Vanta does what it needs to do
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping us meet our regular/annual compliance activities. It helps organize the requirements and aides us in identifying gaps in those expectations for us to fix
