Amazing experience.

The Easiest Way to Get Compliant
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta made it simple for us to start the process of getting SOC 2 Type 1 compliant when we were only 6 months old. As a result we feel far ahead of schedule, and 18 months later we're now using Vanta to go for our SOC 2 Type 2.
The product made it incredibly easy to automatically generate the documentation needed for the SOC 2 process. As a new/young company, we were able to just "accept the defaults" and build from there – which saved us a ton of time.
The team at Vanta have also been amazing partners in helping us find and work with our auditors. They have our back from both the software side as well as the process side, and made it easy for us to navigate this process for the first time.

What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be a bit fiddly and can take more clicks to get where I'd like to go than I'd prefer. They continue to improve the UI frequently, but there is a lot of work left to be done.
I've also found that the Vendor Management / IT Asset Management side of the product is under-developed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used Vanta to achieve SOC 2 Type 1 compliance, manage our vendors, and manager our IT assets.
We're now also using Vanta to pursue our SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. We hope to use them for ISO 27001 and other certifications in the future.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a few other products in this space, but Vanta is so excellent I haven't spent the time to investigate other options. I'd definitely select it again.
Simplified and Streamlined
What do you like best about the product?
We loved the policy generators to help us make sure we are covering all of our bases. And then the gap analysis reports for internal tracking and the option to share reports to prospective and existing clients have been truly valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use a few tools and services that don't integrate with Vanta (at least not yet). We would also love to see better integrated (or even Vanta created) annual required security training for our employees.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We originally signed up with Vanta so that we could help ensure we were following best practices and answering all of the vendor questionnaires that our customers and potential customers send us. We hope to complete our first SOC 2 audit and certification process in the near future as well. Vanta has definitely helped with trust from customers and fulfilling many of their requirements.
Currently in pre-audit for our first soc2 audit and Vanta has made the process super easy.
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta keeps all my tasks in a short list, and makes it super easy to find what I need to work on next.
Also provides preformatted templates you can use as a small business who likely doesn't have all the docs in a row before an audit.

What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is kind of confusing at first, though when you use the product you get used to where things are.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're working toward automating our audit processes, and currently it's just one person running the entire audit for the company... in previous companies it took a team of people.
An organized and well-integrated platform that helped us manage our cloud security and policies.
What do you like best about the product?
The task-based approach to managing cloud security and policies. The dynamically-generated security reports. The integration with many of our
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. In the ~6 months we've been using Vanta, our experience has been nothing but positive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing our cloud infrastructure. Generating security policies. Preparing for SOC-2 Type II audit. Generating dynamic security reports for prospective customers.
Makes security compliance easy and (almost) fun
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, clean interface for managing the complexities of SOC II compliance. The policy management features are particularly useful. Vanta isn't just a tool for managing docs — it helped us to clarify our processes and organize our thinking around security compliance issues. It's hard/impossible to get a sense of best practices when you're pursuing SOC 2 on your own.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could always benefit from more integrations with vendors. We had to do a little extra work to chase lesser known cloud vendors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta practically gamifies SOC compliance. We actually enjoyed the process, at least as much as such a thing is possible.
The primary benefit for us was achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. This has opened up the door for sales growth, particularly in enterprise accounts where security compliance can be a major hurdle for smaller service providers like us.

SOC-2 helper for startups
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and automated checks of our infrastructure
What do you dislike about the product?
More integrations would be awesome. JAMF integration is welcome.

SOC-2 compliance
Head of Growth
What do you like best about the product?
So easy to use! Out of the box setup was plug and play. It integrated with all of our stack and the vendors that they recommended for us have been really easy to work with.
Their customer support is fast and responsive. When issues arise they fix them quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some bugs that pop up from time to time. The policy wizard isn't 100% intuitive.
It's a bit funky to disable the monitoring and I wish they could incorporate some outside systems, but early stage.

SOC2 Type II
Security and time-savings - double win
What do you like best about the product?
Clear ROI for us. Relatively easy to configure to our existing tech stack. Easy to implement policies. Best of all, a majority of documentation was available to our auditors from inside the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setup wasn't insignificant. But if the goal is SOC2 compliance, as it was for us, the time spent is worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to spend less time on security compliance and have more proof to show our customers. Vanta provided that with security reports immediately after configuration. Then it set the stage for a pretty painless audit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Security is critical, so make time to get it setup correctly with your tech stack. We also used their recommended audit partners, who were well versed with how the software works. Getting the SOC2 program going isn't trivial, but Vanta provides a terrific hub for it.
