I honestly don't think we would've passed our audit without Vanta.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta gives you a live picture of your organization's compliance status. Throughout the entire compliance process, we knew where we were. Without Vanta to provide clear direction, it would have been nearly impossible for me to keep up with SOC tasks. I also loved my Vanta rep's bi-weekly check-ins. It gave me confidence that we were going in the right direction.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, I found a few bugs within Vanta. Vanta turned this into a positive by showing off its fantastic support. I sent off a detailed bug report, and the minor bug would be fixed within days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helped my org become SOC 2 compliant and continues to do so for future audits. Right now, we are in our audit window for type 2. As we speak, Vanta is scanning our org for compliance issues. Instead of me having to check our AWS accounts manually, Vanta does it for me. When someone does something they shouldn't, Vanta lets me know immediately.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance
Everything you need for SOC2 in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Everything is centralized and at your fingertips. They provide a good starting point. Support is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
SOC or any of these compliance frameworks can be very confusing, especially if you are new to these audits and processes. Out of the box templates for policies include a lot of information for what seems like many of the frameworks they support. It's not always clear what you need to keep vs. what could apply to other frameworks and isn't necessary.
This isn't specific to the product but Vanta advertising makes it seem like you can gain your compliance in a few weeks, which isn't accurate. Maybe if you worked on this 40 hours per week and had a dedicated team to it. Most companies they're targeting are small startups, so it most likely takes much longer. They should be more truthful/accurate about timelines in their ads. Or focus on a different aspect of their value proposition altogether.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not any big issues, but if they can improve "going back to previous page" functionality, it would be really great. Right now I wander in navigation and every time I have to go back to home page or module-specific page. Not a big issue though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Vanta is providing help in completing our SOC2 compliance.
2. Vanta is also helping organize the work and policies in a systematic way.
3. Our next target in ISO 27001, and Vanta is helping in that as well.

Powerful product with great customer support makes a tedious task simple.
What do you like best about the product?
The customer success team was highly responsive and engaged throughout our SOC2 audit. We also worked with Vanta to complete our HIPAA Compliance. In both cases, the software helped us track all outstanding action items and streamlined our interaction with the auditor.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were a few instances where we ran into some bugs with the software. In all cases the customer support team resolved any issues right away. We found that the customer success team generally responded to email within a few hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using Vanta I had no experience with SOC 2. Now, having gone through the process, I realize how complex and time-consuming compliance can be. WIthout Vanta, we would have wasted literally hundreds of hours preparing for and completing our audit.
Vanta has made my life so much easier, staying on top of compliance and easy audit process
What do you like best about the product?
Almost all information you need is readily available and constantly updated. Can be used as a medium. Makes the audit process so easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much downside. Maybe add in some remediation steps that could be specific per the integration, i.e. go to AWS Config, make sure x, y, and z are set, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compliance, getting new customers, working with auditors
Vanta is both a partner and accelerator for your compliance roadmap
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is constantly improving its platform. Having one consolidated platform integrated with our systems has allowed us to move faster, create visibility into our program, and automate our controls. From the trust report, risk tracking and enabling policy development with templates custom to the framework, Vanta has created a platform that has made our compliance journey accessible to every team. The customer support and partnership we have received have been top-notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, it was challenging to integrate the automated tests with Vanta and GCP. However, their product development teams have worked closely with our engineering and security teams to overcome any issues we had, making themselves accessible and ensuring we had a successful onboarding. Vanta is releasing changes with record speed; while new features are a bonus for the long term, the UX can change so often that it can be challenging when working on a system's cross-functional adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a startup, it is almost always about speed. The Vanta platform has allowed Physna to move faster, centralize documentation, and meet its compliance goals and coverage 30% faster than initially planned.
Pretty seamless experience
What do you like best about the product?
Providing policy templates saves quite a bit of time. Automating and recording policy approvals for employees, handling security awareness training, and scanning of our integrated assets to let us know of shortcomings is very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the policy templating where I had to find and replace a lot of key elements from the policies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is making it possible for us to acquire new customers, which will hopefully allow us to receive revenue.
Don't do HIPAA without Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean and intuitive; I have a high degree of confidence that Vanta presents us with a comprehensive and up to date checklist to make sure we are compliant.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't found an easy view for a task owner to see all the items assigned to them in one consolidated rollup view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Can't imagine trying to wrap our heads around all the requirements and stay current with them without using a tool like Vanta. The trust report is awesome.
Love Vanta! Makes security and compliance super straightforward and easy.
What do you like best about the product?
The policy templates! make the document creation process super easy
What do you dislike about the product?
can't think of anything :) love my experience so far
