Effortless Compliance Management with Vanta—Seamless Integrations and Powerful AI
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes it easy to keep track of all our compliance documentation and records. It was easy to connect to our cloud providers and the integrations were well documented. We were up and running within a day.
As the Compliance Manager, I keep Vanta open in a browser tab so I can check in daily on our status - even though we have the Slack integration as well, the UI is really well designed and the dashboard keeps me informed.
The scoping tools are very helpful for controlling and defining what is in and out of scope for audits. And the AI Agent really simplifies policy writing and maintenance!

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't say there are any downsides to using Vanta. It is really an excellent tool for ensuring compliance. It would be nice if there were integrations for a couple of our smaller tools, but that is on the vendor, not Vanta, to complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small startup with limited resources, Vanta has been instrumental in our journey to SOC2 compliance. Without Vanta, we would be stuck doing a lot of manual paperwork and auditing, wasting many hours on things that have already been automated. Vanta's templates and AI agent enabled us to quickly draft and update policies as needed, while serving as a central repository for the latest approved versions as well. Our Auditors were able to provide quick, trackable feedback through the platform, and it enabled us to provide the evidence in a centralized and organized manner. Vanta has simplified what we thought would be a long and painful journey toward compliance.
Well-Designed and User-Friendly Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The product is well designed very user friendly. It's make our soc2 process so much easier. The support is very great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not come to something i dislike know. We had an issue with one integration that some time to resolve but it was very specific to our setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing soc2 has become much simpler thanks to this. It really streamlines the entire process.
Centralized Compliance Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
All of our compliance-related tasks are centralized in one location. Whenever I have a question or need to handle a process, I can easily find it through the sidebar menu.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you don't use it often, you might have trouble finding what you need. Changes in the product and features are communicated through email, but most of us don't read newsletters nowadays. An in-app update would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing all compliance tasks in one centralized location is very convenient. Auditors and other stakeholders have their own access to the platform, which makes the audit process much smoother. The system also handles many processes automatically, including setting up reminders and renewal dates. Additionally, the risk assessment feature is excellent.
Vanta: Essential for ISO Certifications
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Vanta for a year and a half primarily to prepare us for ISO 27001 certification, as well as to keep our services in continuous compliance with certification requirements. The platform has greatly facilitated the management of all the necessary documentation for certification. I especially appreciate how easy the setup process was with the continuous support from the Vanta agent, who guided us step by step, and the included guides were clear and helpful. Vanta's real-time integrations with our systems are extremely useful and allow for efficient maintenance. The software has proven to be robust and aligns perfectly with our compliance needs, and in addition to this, Vanta offers excellent cost-benefit. The ease with which all documentation and processes can be maintained, thanks to everything being in the cloud, has allowed us to significantly optimize our tasks. For me, Vanta has been very useful and valuable, and I wish more people could experience its usefulness.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like Vanta to be more customizable and for the feedback provided to the development team to be considered more quickly and efficiently to make the changes we sometimes need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta facilitates obtaining and maintaining ISO 27001 certification by managing documentation and processes in the cloud, which streamlines tasks, and offers robust integrations that adapt to our certification compliance needs.
Simple Interface, But Needs More Detailed Error Info
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the items that need to be fixed tend to have shorter solutions than others. It would be nice if there were more details on certain failed items.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping our company work through the SOC 2 compliance.
Seamless Integrations and Support, Access Reviews Still Improving

Seamless integrations, easy to setup, great communication with our account team!
What do you dislike about the product?
non-integrated access reviews aren't fully refined or useful just yet. But they are working on it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our Governance and Compliance team needed a better solution than Drata that has more features and a better price point.
Streamlined Vulnerability Management with Powerful Integrations Make Compliance a Breeze
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta has truly transformed how we handle security and compliance workflows. The platform excels at making vulnerability management both easy and convenient—something that's rare in the compliance space. What I appreciate most is the intuitive way it allows us to manage and resolve security and compliance action items without the usual headaches.
The standout feature for me is the Linear integration. Being able to seamlessly convert vulnerabilities and security callouts into actionable tasks for our engineering team has been a game-changer. It bridges the gap between security/compliance teams and engineering, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Instead of manually tracking items in spreadsheets or bouncing between platforms, we can create tasks directly in Linear, which our engineers are already using daily. This integration alone has significantly improved our response time and accountability.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta is excellent overall, there's definitely room for improvement in how it handles scan management. My main frustration is the lack of an easy way to deactivate scans that aren't relevant to our specific environment. When certain scans become repetitive or don't apply to our infrastructure, it would be incredibly helpful to have a more granular way to turn them off.
Additionally, I wish there was better memory functionality for deactivated action items. Currently, when you deactivate something, your options are limited—you can either deactivate it indefinitely or deal with it repeatedly. What would be ideal is a middle ground: an option for Vanta to "remember" that we've reviewed and dismissed certain items, without having to make permanent deactivation decisions. This would reduce noise and help us focus on genuinely relevant security issues.

As a startup with limited human resources where everyone wears multiple hats, Vanta has been essential in making compliance manageable without requiring a dedicated full-time team. The platform solves several critical challenges that are particularly acute for small, growing companies:
Centralized Policy Access
Vanta provides a single source of truth for all our security and compliance policies. Instead of hunting through shared drives or outdated wikis, every team member—whether they're in engineering, sales, or operations—can instantly access the policies they need. This is invaluable when you don't have a compliance department and everyone needs to be self-sufficient.
Streamlined Training Management
The platform makes security training accessible and trackable for our entire team. Employees can review training materials on their own schedule, and I don't have to chase people down or manually track completion. For a small team juggling competing priorities, this automation is a lifesaver.
Administrative Efficiency
From the administrator perspective, Vanta gives me easy oversight of all compliance tasks and monitoring without drowning in spreadsheets or manual processes. I can quickly see what needs attention, who's responsible, and what's been completed—all in one dashboard. This is critical when compliance is just one of many responsibilities on my plate.
Reduced Compliance Burden
Ultimately, Vanta transforms compliance from a resource-intensive burden into a manageable, sustainable process. Instead of needing specialists or consultants, our lean team can maintain our security posture and compliance certifications while still focusing on building our product and growing the business. For a startup, this efficiency directly translates to cost savings and faster time-to-market for compliance-dependent deals.

What do you dislike about the product?
It appears that there is still a noticeable gap between the Vanta policy templates and those that are truly audit-ready.
