Vanta’s Automation Transforms Compliance with Seamless Integrations and Intuitive Dashboard
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta’s automation is a game-changer. It eliminates the tedious manual work involved in gathering audit evidence and tracking compliance controls. The platform’s integrations with popular tools—like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Jira—make it incredibly easy to monitor systems and users in real time. The dashboard is intuitive, visually clean, and provides an at-a-glance view of your compliance status. I especially appreciate the reminders and alerts that keep the whole team accountable without adding extra administrative burden.
The continuous monitoring and audit-readiness support are by far the most helpful features. Vanta doesn’t just help you pass an audit once—it helps you stay compliant all year long. Their support team and dedicated compliance specialists are also excellent, offering hands-on guidance throughout the certification process. The pre-built policy templates and security questionnaires save a ton of time and make compliance accessible, even for teams without a full-time security or compliance expert.
The biggest upside is confidence and speed. Vanta drastically reduces the time it takes to get audit-ready (SOC 2, HIPAA, etc.), which means you can close deals faster and demonstrate trust to customers sooner. It also scales well—what starts as a compliance tool quickly becomes a security management system that grows with your company. The automation, integrations, and excellent customer experience all make Vanta a long-term partner rather than just a one-time compliance vendor.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Vanta is an incredibly powerful platform, there are moments where the user interface can feel a bit overwhelming—especially when you’re first getting started. With so many integrations and automated checks running, it can take some time to understand how everything connects. Occasionally, certain integrations (like custom infrastructure setups or less common tools) require extra configuration or manual input to sync properly.
The policy customization process could be more flexible. Vanta offers great templates, but editing or tailoring them to specific internal workflows sometimes feels constrained by the platform’s structure. Additionally, notifications can be a bit noisy, and fine-tuning alert settings to avoid alert fatigue takes some trial and error.
The main downside is cost and learning curve—Vanta isn’t the cheapest option, and smaller startups might find the pricing high if they’re early in their compliance journey. There’s also a dependency on Vanta’s integrations, so if your tech stack isn’t well supported, you might need some manual workarounds. Finally, while Vanta’s audit partners are helpful, working through third-party auditors within the platform can sometimes create coordination delays during busy audit seasons.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Vanta, maintaining continuous compliance and ensuring every employee acknowledged security policies was a tedious, manual process. Vanta completely transformed that experience by automating compliance workflows and providing real-time visibility into our security posture. Instead of chasing down screenshots, spreadsheets, or employee attestations, everything is centralized and monitored automatically.
Vanta helps us streamline compliance for frameworks like SOC 2 and HIPAA, dramatically reducing the time and effort needed to prepare for audits. The automated evidence collection from integrations across our systems—cloud providers, HR platforms, and ticketing tools—means we’re always audit-ready, not scrambling at the last minute.
Another huge benefit is policy management and employee engagement. Vanta makes it easy to distribute policies to all employees and track their acknowledgment digitally. This ensures 100% policy acceptance and ongoing accountability, which is essential for maintaining compliance and building a strong security culture across the organization.
From a business standpoint, Vanta has allowed us to accelerate sales cycles by providing customers and partners with trusted proof of compliance, while also reducing risk exposure through continuous monitoring. In short, Vanta gives us confidence, saves time, and supports company-wide compliance with minimal friction.

Excellent Visibility and Compliance, Great for SaaS startups

Vanta Makes Compliance Effortless and Stress-Free
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta is a compliance dream come true. They go miles to make the compliance journey easier
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to identify what I don't like about Vanta. It works extremely well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta does wonders to help us maintain a SOC 2 throughout the year. Vanta collects evidence during the year and prevents a mad dash at the end of the audit window to share evidence with auditors. Vanta also does a great job at vendor management and connecting that to audits. Overall, we are very happy with our Vanta instance and look forward to a continued partnership with them and our auditors.
Great Automation and Onboarding, Needs More GitHub and AWS Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
The platform offers effective task automation and allows for customization of test frequencies, which I find very useful. The employee onboarding process is well-designed and straightforward. Additionally, I appreciate how easy it is to remediate tasks when needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't many test automations available for GitHub Enterprise rules, and some tests could be automated more effectively with a stronger AWS integration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is no need to have a dedicated compliance team. Even if you don't have experience with compliance, you can still achieve any certification.
Streamlined GRC Platform with Outstanding Support
What do you like best about the product?
I find Vanta incredibly useful as our go-to GRC platform. Setting it up was very easy, especially since it tied seamlessly into our Google Workspace, simplifying our authentication practices significantly. The templates provided by Vanta streamlined our policy management process, aiding in spearheading our compliance initiatives all within a single platform. Additionally, the training platform has been integral to successfully administering our Infocyte and secure coding training, ensuring smooth sign-offs. I appreciate having a comprehensive 'one-stop shop' for everything related to compliance and information security, which is advantageous for companies pursuing compliance standards like SOC 2 or ISO. The automation of control testing has optimized our processes, and I find the overall ease of use in implementation remarkable. Moreover, the support team stands out for their exceptional service, always ready to assist by providing clear communication about upcoming products and conducting insightful demos. This supportive interaction reassures us and assists in planning for future budgets. It's all these elements combined that underscore why I value Vanta so highly, leading me to give a top recommendation score.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the initial experience with Vanta's support team a bit confusing. When we first joined, we had multiple support team members as our primary points of contact, which was somewhat confusing. As a new customer, having a consistent and single point of contact for at least the first six months would have been more beneficial. Although we managed to get through it, the process was initially unclear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Vanta centralizes our policy management, automates testing, and simplifies compliance, solving previous issues with Dropbox and facilitating easy policy sign-offs and training delivery.
Smooth Task Management and Reminders, But Needs More Role-Based Minimalism
What do you like best about the product?
Handling company tasks such as device compliance and employee onboarding has been extremely smooth. The reminders are excellent and really encourage me to return to the platform to check on any outstanding tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would prefer if Vanta were more focused on user roles, displaying only the information that each person has access to. This would create a more minimalist and streamlined view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta has been instrumental in helping us maintain our SOC 2 compliance by overseeing all of our integrations and vendors. It provides clear visibility into which contacts we need to approach for SOC 2 reports and highlights any applications that require security reviews. Additionally, I appreciate being able to manage device compliance from a single, centralized location.

What do you dislike about the product?
It’d be nice if it was bundled together with the audit, but they do a good job of connecting you with auditors that can use vanta to perform an audit

Getting us secure quickly so we can ensure that we are audited and compliant for customers to see those successful audits
