Well-considered, well-rounded compliance tool, backed by a great team
What do you like best about the product?
The product feels results focused. The product team have clearly gone back to first principles when designing Vanta and thought about the results the user wants to achieve, rather than starting with data structures and building a UI on top of this. This makes the product simple and efficient to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Risk management module is overly simplistic for my tastes. I come from an ISO27001 risk management background and whilst the Vanta module helped think through some basic risks, I wanted to develop a risks register based on our more detailed information assets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We bought Vanta to help with our SOC2 reporting where it brought time savings in terms of reducing the number of questions the auditors asked. Having said that, the biggest benefit is probably helping monitor our security posture on an on-going basis, particularly in terms of keeping us within SLA when resolving vulnerabilities.

Highly automated SOC 2 compliance
What do you like best about the product?
Plenty of integrations into our infrastructure to provide a continuous overview of governance. Also monitors HR tools for employee compliance. Like the UI that surfaces todo items for clear ways to operationalize security.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some manual processes involved, like creating policy documents that are not automatically integrated into controls for mitigating risk. It is also not clear how to customize Vanta for a specific company's processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the expensive and long process of traditional human audit-based SOC 2 compliance. This automates almost every part of the process, and because auditors are trained on the platform the cost is reduced as well.
Vanta has been an excellent way for our SaaS startup to take on SOC 2 compliance.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the Policy creation support and the Vanta agent that tracks all employee and infrastructure systems for compliance. The cost savings alone and the ability to walk you through the compliance process is well worth the cost. Especially compared to the time and cost of bringing on a CISO or consultant.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once all of your Vanta tests come out OK, you still aren't SOC 2 Compliant so understanding what is needed to get fully compliant takes talking to your account manager.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our most significant issues are securing our organization and dealing with SOC 2 compliance in a small organization with a small budget. We don't have a complete need for a CISO, and bringing one on board as a consultant eats up money that could be spent on growing our company.
Vanta is convenient and effective for cybersecurity monitoring.
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and provides very clear instructions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe some more thorough instructions for specific tasks would help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving the problem of not knowing how to get Soc 2 compliance and ISO 27001. It's much easier now.
Soc 2 made easy
What do you like best about the product?
You have both the technical support and a project manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
You'll get the most out of the platform if your existing systems sync with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to streamline the SOC2 compliance process because of the interactive task list and project manager
Must have Security service
What do you like best about the product?
The strength and number of integrations provides key insights and monitoring necessary for a mature security posture. Vanta works with you to best utilize their platform and set you up for success from day 0.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some integrations are superficial or require unique setups that increase the difficulty of onboarding Vanta. Deepening existing integrations and increasing the number would go a long way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are identifying our security and reliability weaknesses and blind spots. Vanta also helped us streamline our employee security posture. We increased our confidence in our sytems and monitoring.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Software is easy to navigate. Makes checking things off the to do list much easier. Vanta customer success managers are helpful in understanding the software and the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Vanta had more connections to services to more easily automate vendor onboarding and access management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Checklists and helpful resources make getting through a security audit much easier.
Helping Us Maintain Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
The software is easy to use and setup. The client success manager was engaged throughout the implementation and ensured that we had the best experience possible when rolling out the solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not specific to Vanta, but the process itself can be intrusive. Installing client software to track content on PCs can be hard for people to understand, but Vanta does a good job of providing flexibility with dealing with these situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ensuring that we are in compliance with published policies so that we can meet/maintain SOC2 audit compliance. The dashboard makes it easy to see any deficiencies we may have in our environment.
Vanta is an excellent application that helps you to maintain organized all requirements for infosec
What do you like best about the product?
The vanta agent is excellent to maintain all controls update
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the loads of inventory page is slow and the gathering of status of computers take at least an hour
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are enforcing all the cyber security controls. We didn't have any control of info sec, we are aware of Cyber threats.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Vanta has all the requirements of compliance of ISO 27001 y Soc 2. It is confident that you consider of getting Vanta as a partner.
Great accelerator for SOC 2 compliance (and probably ISO 27001 and GDPR but haven't tested yet)
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of automated compliance tests and detailed guidance to remediate, lots of policy templates, reactive support, possibility to mutualise work on different standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI-DSS, etc.)
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited capabilities to export data from Vanta - for example, I can't yet export all the vendor information I have created and input. Although this is in their roadmap
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to prepare for SOC 2 audit with much less work and better guidance - the cost is much less than consultancy
