Lack of best practices and recommendations in certain areas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making easier to pass SOC 2, ISO and other audits.
Easy process for SOC 2 acquisition
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is an excellent way of organizing your work and developing the acquisition of the SOC 2, it integrates many different fields of the company into a single tool where organization is key, allowing the following and research of every member of the company and their tasks.
Added to this, the facility of completing tasks and the amazing support you obtain from the different guides makes Vanta a perfect tool for daily use to develop many corporative tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?
The first time you see the software it can be hard to understand and follow, it's not the easiest program to understand and it takes quite a while to understand in depth all the tools and posibilities it offers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is allowing me to develop and organize all the tasks needed to obtain the SOC 2 certificate for my corporation. It's helping me find the weak points and where more efforts should be directed to to finally obtain the certificate.
AdVantageous!
What do you like best about the product?
Having tried unsuccessfully to secure SOC2 for 6 months working in partnership with a specialist local Canadian company, we had moved at a snails pace. We elected to walk away and instead signed up with Vanta whose platform was both intuitive and user friendly. Through their automation, within a matter of weeks we had far exceeded the progress made working with an alternative vendor who didn't have a platform. I loved that you could physically see progress being made and documents stored. It allows you to view the pairing of controls with policies or actions and know what gaps are still to plug at any point in time. More importantly still the system alerts you to any issues allowing you to remediate them. Vanta has also become my default storage despository for HR documents and it now logs every important record required for SOC 2 accreditation and has become a great mini HR tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are so many different sections, sometimes you are not sure exactly where to be or what order to complete elements in. We worked with WorkStreet however and they guided us through the first month and we made terrific progress.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's the equivalent of a company holding your hand and allowing you to cross the road. It even tells you what traffic is coming to tortuously extend the metaphor.
Platform mostly works, support is excellent if a bit spotty
What do you like best about the product?
Takes a bit of learning around how the platform works, but they've built it well, its fast, and where you get stuck the support team are very responsive.
Integrates with everything we use without an issue.

What do you dislike about the product?
Too many routes to get to the same place
Unable to 'snooze' items during initial onboarding

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to understand if we are compliant with various standards and are prepared or not for an external audit.
Vanta pulls together almost all the evidence I need
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta integrates almost all the sources of information I need for my audit and alerts me when compliance issues are found.
It's incredibly easy to get up and running, and I can make tremendous progress against our audit objectives in just a few weeks.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some seemingly arbitrary limits to the integrations, such as only allowing a single HRIS, requiring a new onboarding for an employee who boomerangs, and a few tools being limited to only more-expensive versions of their services
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a very small organization that is trying to manage a SOC 2 Type II process. Vanta is easing the path immensely.
Turned a Daunting Project into a Doable One
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has helped make the SOC 2 process ten times easier than it would have been without it. The integrations, policy templates, risk register, list of controls, and myriad other features have helped streamline and automate what would have been a very time-consuming, manual process.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve when it comes to learning the tool, but Vanta's support materials are quite thorough. The times when we haven't been able to find an answer, we reached out to their customer support team and they responded with an in-depth answer within 24 hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta automates and streamlines the audit management process, which has enabled my team to focus on the more in-depth parts of preparing for the audit (rather than needing to focus on the more administrative aspects).
Great system
What do you like best about the product?
Has automatic tests that helps me understnad easily what the next steps are to mitigate. A lot of integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit overwhelming at first glance, not sure where to start.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consdolidates the things I need to do
One place to rule them all
What do you like best about the product?
I like the automation part of the tool.
It gives great value to not having to manually perform tests and validations on various controls.

What do you dislike about the product?
One small but significant (to us) issue I've encountered is the inability to set the 'recurrence start' for uploaded documents to a date in the past. This limitation negatively impacts our approach to managing monthly recurrence tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves alot of time. By havning one tool to manage several diffrent complianve standards we get alot of "2 birds with one stone" situations.
Best platform - best service
What do you like best about the product?
The service level of Vanta's competent staff is extraordinary. Fast, professional, and friendly. Implementation was easy, a fantastic support and a CSM team. In addition, the platform is of a high technical level, and easy to handle.. so what more could one expect? I have introduced it to several co-partner companies now, also with success.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two years have now passed since the start of using Vanta and receiving our certificate. I can still not see any disadvantages.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta makes ISO-handling an easy feat, and helps us show it to our clients.
Greatly simplified governance programs and pursuit and completion of audit programs and efforts.
What do you like best about the product?
A simplified and templatized approach to compliance programs and frameworks, Vanta gives us a solid backbone for building and expanding our programs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of ability to ingest and recognize previously created documents when pursuing certification.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security and GRC requirements typically require bringing on an FTE. With Vanta, we rely on part-time consultants to manage and stabilize our programs.
