Easy to use, excellent customer service.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta's customer service is excellent. They are quick to respond and helpful. Beyond that, the software itself is easily navigable. The dashboard view in particular makes it easy to address outstanding issues and stay SOC2 compliant.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit tricky to upload documentation, and not every tool we use has an integration with Vanta, so some things (like international background checks) we have to keep track o and upload manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Vanta primarily to monitor and address potential issues with maintaining our SOC2 compliance. It's easy to use Vanta to put together a report on how quickly we address issues.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking to use Vanta, just know that you'll also need a remote IT provider for computer onboarding/offboarding. Other than that, it does almost everything!

Compliance automation done right
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta provides tremendous value for companies that need to map out their compliance requirements to technical controls correctly. I love the reporting capabilities as well. Sending out security questionnaires became a trivial task with Vanta.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see even more standards included. Also, automating notifications to customers when there are data subprocessor changes would be an excellent addition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are mapping various compliance requirements to appropriate technical controls. Creating a detailed gap report becomes easy with Vanta. Vendor management also.
Impressively streamlined our SOC2 certification process
What do you like best about the product?
Track your entire workflow looking for SOC2 or other certification requirements in a fully automatic fashion, providing the path to resolution in those cases you're not compliant with.
What do you dislike about the product?
I couldn't find yet any downsides within the application or their processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC2 certification is extremely thorough and Vanta simplifies a lot from providing the tools, helping in the process and facilitating the access to auditors. It's a no-brainer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best option for SOC2 requirements mitigation.
Really simplifying solution for compliance monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
We are using Vanta to automate security compliances in taking SOC-2 report. As a startup company trying to get these kinds of security certificates, there were many complexities and unknown concepts for us. Vanta offers professional help with both of their dedicated personnel and dashboard. There are many elements you should comply with and Vanta simplifies them by suggesting what to-dos, alerting for deficiencies, and reminding upcoming issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta alerts for some errors that there can be nothing for us to do, and these are also not important for our auditors. So maybe some monitors could be customizable at a more granular level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is little knowledge about the SOC-2 compliance elements that should be done. For each monitoring component, Vanta suggests what should/could be done on the dashboard. Moreover, you can ask anything related to the process to the dedicated personnel periodically.
Tool that helps you in your compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta notifies for all the necessary checkpoints needs to be done for being SOC2 compliant.
What do you dislike about the product?
As soon as we open Vanta and do a Walther
walkthrough, it automatically sends email regarding tests needing attention.

There's no magical button to complete SOC2, but Vanta certainly is a huge step forward.

Automating documentation and monitoring
Love Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
It is super easy to use and set up. It makes audit readiness super straightforward. I would recommend to any startup doing SOC 2 for the first time. We are using it for SOC 2 and GDPR.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all auditors know it or use it, so you need to be working with an auditor that is familiar with Vanta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta streamlines SOC 2 readiness. It has made keeping track of SOC 2 compliance easy and provides ongoing monitoring.
Monitoring and Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
All the information is in one place. You can see non-compliant people, computers and resources and receive updates and instructions on resolving issues. The support is great
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing so far after two years of use, it is a great product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and HIPAA and ISO requirements
Helpful tool for SOC2 Testing
What do you like best about the product?
I like the dashboard that shows outstanding items as well as exceptions. I also like that you have a dedicated Vanta team member who helps you through any issues you may have and helps with policies and getting SOC2 certificates from companies we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had some issues when we terminate an employee with the offboarding. We've had to completely delete a terminated employee's account in order for them to show as terminated versus revoking access and keeping the account in the event there is data that is needed in the account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Vanta to assist with our SOC2 audit. It was really helpful that Vanta connects you with auditors that fit your needs. They also have an area that has policies that you can use as a starting point for your own policies, which has been extremely helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta is an excellent resource to assist with SOC2 setup and audit. I recommend using it!

soc2 certification. Cost savings include labor and systems.

Improve reaction time of support, quality of answers seem to be lacking. The product manager doesn't seem 100% confident or knowledgeable on software.
