Vanta: Essential for SOC 2 Compliance, But UI Needs Work
What do you like best about the product?
I truly appreciate how Vanta simplifies our compliance process, specifically by managing various compliance aspects and enabling us to be SOC 2 certified. This certification significantly bolstered our business reputation. I find immense value in the efficiency Vanta brings by allowing us to seamlessly track our employees, organize policy additions, and handle their acceptance without cumbersome one-on-one discussions, thanks to the ability to send out policy packets. The remediation and status filters stand out for me because they are incredibly easy to use and helpful when assigned correctly. These features undoubtedly streamline our workflow and make compliance management much less burdensome. The overall experience with Vanta has been so positive that, knowing what we do now, I would repurchase it multiple times over.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the initial setup process with Vanta to be very time-consuming. It needed substantial efforts to build out all necessary components and to learn the system before adding our employees. Vanta's interface could also be improved; it is currently all one color, which makes navigation difficult. I've learned my way around, but it would be more user-friendly with a clear breakdown of tabs on the left-hand side. Additionally, the pricing is not clearly outlined on the website or readily available in a quote, which makes planning and budgeting more challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta to ensure SOC 2 compliance, tracking policies and employee acknowledgments, which strengthens our business reputation and streamlines internal processes with policy packets.
Seamless and connected across different compliance projects
What do you like best about the product?
We've done several compliance processes and it helps that Vanta has everything seamless and connected. The user experience and platform navigation are intuitive, everything is clear and templates are very helpful.
We've been using Vanta for a few years now and it's our go-to partner. When we're building a compliance roadmap, Vanta is a trusted partner - the first thing we consider is if a compliance standard/certificate is supported by Vanta. The second thing is a consultation with a Vanta representative to build the timeline, and schedule, learn best practices, etc.
At this point, Vanta's integration is so helpful that it doesn't make sense to start a compliance project outside it. Why? Because we have added many controls, documents, and policies for various compliance reasons and when we start a new certification, we're automatically at 30-50% completion. Nothing compares to that.

What do you dislike about the product?
I like how it works; it exceeds our expectations. The only issue we had was that some integrations occasionally disconnected, but customer service helped resolve this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a startup and our clients expect certain standards. Vanta helps us meet them and to receive external validation of these standards via compliance audits and badges.
On top of that, in a startup, one person wears many hats, so any type of automatization helps tremendously. Vanta's connectivity across compliance certificates is a big win, both for Vanta, and for us - it boosts momentum, reduces manual workload, accelerates completion and it removes repetitiveness.

Vanta makes a great on/offboarding a experience
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how to get a quick overview of actions to take when on/offboarding team members. In my experience this can be a really time consuming process but Vanta provides a simple and traigthforward approach to keep things neat and tidy.
It's a big win for our team to track and stay on top of vulnerabilities, plan for work and make sure we keep our systems together with high security and quality at all times.

What do you dislike about the product?
if there's something I could wish for, is some more delight in the UI, to celebrate when things get done and are in a tidy state. Confetti and rewards is nice to feel proud of accomplishments. How about some gamification options?

System vulnerabilities
A perfect tool to keep track of security compliances
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is very useful for us to keep track of the security complainces that the engineering team needs to maintain. The UI is very simple and easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although vanta claims to not track any personal activity/information, need more affirmation from them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For security compilance, vanta is really simple and easy to use. It has integrations with all the major cloud providers
Vanta helps me achieve compliance with ease.
What do you like best about the product?
Automating these tasks allows the smaller Information Security team to efficiently handle ongoing compliance obligations and manage evidence without being overwhelmed, making the process more scalable across the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
Significant manual uploading of evidence was necessary for certain audit activities because the automated integrations did not always provide auditors with all the evidence they required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before using Vanta all pieces of evidence were scattered all over different spreadsheets and file shares depending on who last updated the evidence.
Vanta's features support bulk uploading of answers to customer questionnaires, reducing turnaround time and version control headaches.
Data since launch show dramatic increases in engagement with our Trust Center compared to previous solutions (+78% in visits overall; +1830% increase in monthly visits), indicating higher value to stakeholders and end-users.

Great tool for cyber security and compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
I most like the inuitive UX. Also the ease with which certifications can be tackled is stunning.
What do you dislike about the product?
The high number of features is sometimes a overhwelming and also the jumping between different sections when working on certifications. This means the different sections for the tests and the certifications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta solves our security onboarding and helps us to get IT-Certifications. This streamlines the whole employee onboarding. Furthermore, it is easier to get IT-Certifications enhancing our credibility.

The Vanta keep us compliance free
Centralised Policy and Compliance Management
What do you like best about the product?
There are multiple great things about using Vanta.
1. If there is a problem, it suggests a solution in easy-to-understand language. This is very helpful for delegating tasks to other team members who may not be very familiar with compliance.
2. Vanta shows our progress on compliance requirements such as SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO, which helps us track where we stand and how much more effort we need to invest.
3. While these may seem like small details, they are quite useful. Vanta categorizes tasks for HR, Engineering, IT, and other departments, which is extremely helpful for breaking down responsibilities.
Overall, Vanta is an excellent platform for streamlining compliance management, making it easier for organizations to navigate the complexities of regulatory requirements. Highly recommended!

What do you dislike about the product?
1. I believe that the onboarding process for new users is quite overwhelming when trying to understand Vanta. This aspect should be improved.
2. The navigation between different tasks and categories needs enhancement, particularly in terms of accessibility. For instance, when I navigate to a different page, I often find it difficult to return because there is no clear navigation system, and it does not indicate my current location.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta shows me what security problems we have. Many times we were unaware about things that Vanta shows which resulted in learning new things. For example, Vanta shows to add alarms on our AWS resources (SQS) which we never thought of adding it. This helped us in many ways.
We improved security posture for our identity management and implemented certain policies which helped us a lot.

CPO
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes it easy to automatically monitor my Soc 2 compliance. I get alerts/checklists for things that require action so I don't have to remember myself to go check where we stand. I also like that it handles new employee onboarding automatically (security training, policy agreements, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the simplest UI to navigate. There are many times where it flags an item that needs action (e.g. assigning an owner to an AWS asset) but the page where that alert is doesn't actually link to the asset in Vanta for me to go take action. So then I need to waste 5 minutes searching around to find the asset.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are making it very easy to keep my company compliant with Soc 2 Type II standards.
