Vanta review
What do you like best about the product?
A Framework and a focal point to manage all of the SOC2 requirements.
Automation of both the Server-side and the endpoint side
Automation of both the Server-side and the endpoint side
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of the ability to define certification scope in the system.
I would like to be able to include all of my entities & my server environments in order to improve security, but I am limited to do it just for these in the certification scope.
( I am not the hands-on user)

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.
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.
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?
SOC 2 Type 2 certification for Tessian.com
SOC2 Compliance user
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to navigate, very clear what is passing and what isn't.
What do you dislike about the product?
wish it mapped to SOC2 controls better/more clear
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.
We would have been LOST without Vanta!
What do you like best about the product?
Do I have to pick just one thing?! In short, Vanta was able to simplify what is otherwise an extremely difficult project (especially for a company our size, about 75 people). Their employees are passionate and great to work with, from the very first call to handing off to a Customer Success Manager (CSM).
To explain in more detail, when we started the SOC II Type I Audit process we had no idea where to begin, and had previously spent 6-8 months attempting to complete things on our own, barely making any progress. As soon as we found Vanta, we immediately felt relief and confidence that we could complete the work required to pass our audit. The platform is easy to use, user-friendly, gives great insight into our high-priority risks, computers that need additional features, has a great email notification system for sending employees invites and reminders, and has very well thought out policies that allowed us to complete the work within a couple of months rather what I’m sure would have taken us more than a year. Our CSM met with us weekly to help us figure out where to start first, what to focus on each week, etc. and there is no way we could have completed this audit without them!

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of a single critique, Vanta is worth every penny!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps point out where our biggest security risks are, and points us in the direction to solve them, even down to the employee and device level. Vanta also helps us write and improve our security policies to continue improving our security posture. Because of Vanta, we were able to complete our SOC II Type I Audit in only a couple of months.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a platform that is easy to use, user-friendly, gives great insight into your high-priority risks, computers that need additional features, a great email notification system for sending employees invites and reminders, very well thought out policies, and to essentially take something as complex as a SOC II audit and simplify the work so it can be completed within a couple of months, all while working with an awesome CSM who helps as much as needed the entire way, Vanta is for you. I do not think we could have completed our audit without them!
