Gamifying security compliance makes it mostly fun!
What do you like best about the product?
The checklist of items to complete with helpful instructions makes it a breeze to become compliant. It's fun turning all the tests green and passing. The templates for producing policies and paperwork save me an insane amount of time and ensure I'm on the right track!
What do you dislike about the product?
The incident response plan test and tabletop disaster recovery test templates are still in Google Docs. I'd love for them to have the same template generator as the system description editor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our customers want to know we're secure, in some cases, they require SOC 2. Vanta allows us to achieve compliance and demonstrate to our customers that we are upholding this level of security.

Experience Soc2 Automation
What do you like best about the product?
Automating repetitive tasks for SOC2 audits is every compliance officer's dream. We can now accomplish over 90% of the audit tasks through automation, while the remaining 10% involves minor document uploads that need to be done quarterly or annually. I appreciate the Vanta Trust page, which enables us to share our compliance dashboard with clients. We've been using their platform for over a year, and it has already resulted in significant cost savings compared to the man-hours we used to invest. Over past one year, I have seen many new integrations which has help to finish the SOC audit tasks even easier. We log onto our Vanta platform everyday to check if there are any overdue tasks. This helps us stay ahead of audit game instead of trying to do all at once. Their customer support is really good and so even if you encounter any problem, it would most likely get solved on the same day.
What do you dislike about the product?
No product is perfect. Those who feel they are perfect stops growing. I do not have anything negative to highlight at this point since all our requirements are met through this platform and I do not see any shortcomings. If I encounter any, they get solved immediately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It aids us in automating the majority of audit tasks and better organizing the remaining ones. The platform is instrumental in reducing the man-hours spent on manual evidence collection. Our clients highly appreciate the trust page, as it instills confidence and comfort when they see our company with all green checks on Vanta's trust page portal. Conducting annual employee training used to be a nightmare, but with Vanta, it seamlessly gets done without drawing much attention.
I would never do SOC2 without Vanta
What do you like best about the product?
Seamless experience for managing SOC2 - full checklist of items to address, recurring notifications where there are gaps, automatic scanning, templates for docs, and a login for our auditors.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's pricey, but I've found it's well worth it. The solution is very full-featured. The UX has had rough edges in the past but has significantly improved recently.

Vanta has been a great service and product to use. It has been very easy to manage and track.

As of right now I do not have anything that I dislike about the service. On the contrary, the service and product are excellent, and I would recommend to any organization looking to get their SOC compliance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is helping stay on top of our compliance controls, and the monitoring of the users laptops really helps a lot. This allows us to be more productive in that it monitors itself.

Director of Customer Success
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta made SOC 2 very simple for us. Rather than having to reinvent the wheel, everything is broken down into a set of tests and documents to be completed, making project management super easy. Their team is also very knowledgeable about each requirement, so any doubts we had were quickly taken care of.
What do you dislike about the product?
Two items can be improved in Vanta:
- Tracking of requirements (like encryption) on Linux machines often does not work. As most of our Engineering team uses Linux, we needed to do manual verification and store that info in Google Drive for the auditors. (There is not currently a place to store manual evidence for each Computer in their platform.)
- Since the new design, the number of vulnerabilities for Computers is misleading as it lists any vulnerability, even if that test was disabled.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Becoming Soc 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certified is essential to doing more business with enterprise customers in our field. As a small team, this would have been a monumental undertaking without Vanta. Overall, the platform saved us time, and we are now easily passing prospects' security reviews.
Excellent software for SOC 2 compliance, security monitoring and beyond!
What do you like best about the product?
We were getting started on our first SOC 2 compliance effort and growing as an organization - we needed a solution that would (1) give us visibility on active security concerns (2) ensure we were prepared for our audit and (3) save us the hassle of working through multiple spreadsheets and templates. Vanta delivered on all fronts. We've been using them for over a year now and our first-ever audit went very well. Most impressive: Vanta continues to improve the product from customer feedback - so we've been able to move formerly time-consuming security and compliance processes into their software and execute the work there instead... weeks of staff time saved.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are cases where we have to supplement certain forms of tracking like recurring inactive account(s) checks, in other software like Confluence. However, I've seen Vanta accommodate more and more of these types of cases within their software during my time with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us with the problems including: security/vulnerability tracking visibility and due dates, SOC 2 compliance preparation (documents, risk assessments, etc.) and making sure we were hitting our SLA targets for both recurring security checks, and mitigation of security findings (bugs, patches, etc.)

Central management of all of my compliance needs. Fantastic templates and great task descriptions. The Vanta team always seems to bring the A game when we reach out to them
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish Vanta had more certification management systems. (ISO 9001 etc.). I showed Vanta to my co-workers and they wanted it for their management systems as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a central repository and management system for business. Vanta provides that in an easy to use platform.
