Peace of mind and hundreds of hours saved
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta starts providing peace of mind minutes after the initial setup is completed. I can sleep properly knowing that there are no red flag related with configuration, security, or compliance.
I trust Vanta to notify me when a test is not passing anymore. It might go from a missconfiguration of an employee's computer to a security vulnerability. I can focus on the rest of my work and just go back when a next step is needed.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that we dislike about the platform. We did had a few issues connecting the Vanta agent in some cases, but the support was helpful and super quick.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We started using Vanta becase we wanted to get a SOC2 Type 2 certification. We knew that it will take us a lot of time to setup all the requirements and we decided to go with Vanta to save time, keep the information organized, and be notified of any organizational issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You are probably considering Vanta because of a SOC2/ISO certification. It's also likely that you are not an expert on the topic. If both statements are true, I can ensure you that Vanta is a good choice in terms of onboarding and help with the process (they will introduce you a few auditors you can choose from). Lastly, keep in mind that you will be using this platform for a long time if you consider going with a SOC2 Type 2 certification (in terms of monitoring time and later the certification renewal). If that's the case, check if the rest of alternatives gives you the same peace of mind with all the automated alerts that Vanta has. We are happy with them and we also know that they cover every compliance requirement, given that we already got our first certification.
Never Going Back
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of Vanta's to-do list to complete important compliance steps is where it all started for me. From there, it was a breeze to click into the step, follow the detailed instructions, and track our progress. Contrast that with the totally scattered Excel spreadsheets and ambiguous requirements from audit firms, and Vanta comes out miles ahead of the "DIY approach". Our customer success contact was extremely helpful as well, and she added a ton of value to our experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Vanta is a young company and product, and there are understandable rough spots that need some polish. However, very few of those rough spots were blockers to get my work done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC-2 compliance and ongoing HIPAA compliance
Modern compliance technology that syncs with your existing cloud security infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
They understood how a fully remote, cloud native software company like ourselves operates. No questions about phone line security or outdated anti-virus software.
Their 2 sided marketplace is a great resource as you consider other parts of your security stack like Auditing, MDM, Training, Background Checks, etc..
The customer support team is exceptional. Highly informed and give great recommendations.

The customer support team is exceptional. Highly informed and give great recommendations.
What do you dislike about the product?
They are missing some future compliance programs for us e.g. HITRUST. And they are still a young company so there are minor UI issues when it comes to understanding how alerts are generated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An all-in-one place for our Security policies and compliance. The single biggest benefit has been bringing everything out of Google Drive and into Vanta. Vanta automates a majority of what we need to pass compliance audits.
Vanta makes compliance possible for small teams
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta provides a low friction path to SOC2 certification, enabling our small team to go from zero to starting our observation period in under 30 days. Our Customer Success team was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and keep us moving forward. I can't imagine going through compliance preparation and the audit without Vanta.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited integration with lesser known service providers, however, Vanta continues to improve their coverage and is responsive to feature requests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business never had a good answer to how we addressed compliance. Vanta has given us the tools, guidance, and partnerships to build a comprehensive compliance regime in record time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta immediately impressed us with their product and their commitment to client success. Their deep network of contacts has allowed us to find the best match for our needs on penetration testing and audit partner selection.
Great integration and automation of SOC2 controls
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta gives great value to its customers by integrating with popular tools and automating most of the SOC2 controls. By monitoring our technological stack, it clearly defines the steps that we have to take to implement the controls relevant to a SOC2 audit. It is a helpful tool to manage corporate devices, manage onboarding and monitor our risk.
The support team is responsive and our success manager has always been a great help. It shows that Vanta takes into account their customers needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Vanta agent has difficulty reading Linux devices and windows servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta allowed us to start our SOC2 audit in a fraction of the time that it would have taken us with the traditional method. The platform allows us to see exactly which controls need to be implemented and to what depth. It is allowing us to monitor for vulnerabilities and monitor our inventories. We are saving time and money by knowing exactly where to put our efforts to achieve our SOC2 certification.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best automated tool for SOC2 compliance.
Excellent product & great staff
What do you like best about the product?
Cost savings and speed of execution of the SOC 2 accreditation process. Vanta is also very responsive to feedback and their staff are well trained in the product too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting is fixed and 'clunky'. Better access to data via an API would be good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping everyone on track. Everyone knows what they are responsible for. Hub for security related tasks.
