Intuitive UI, Easy Integrations, and Real-Time Issue Detection
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and user interface are very intuitive and easy to navigate. Integrations are straightforward to set up, and it effectively catches issues in real time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some issues on AWS are hard to understand because the documentation around them isn’t always clear. It would help if the documentation were more specific and included more detail on how to resolve the problem. As a new user, I find it a bit tricky to follow and figure out what to do next.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Vanta for SOC 2 compliance, and it helps us identify all sorts of issues across different resources like GitHub, AWS, and other tools we use in the company. Overall, it makes the process of getting compliant feel very easy.
Vanta Makes Security & Compliance Onboarding Effortless for New Hires
What do you like best about the product?
From an HR and People Operations standpoint, Vanta has made the security and compliance side of onboarding genuinely manageable. New hires get auto-enrolled into the security training and agent install workflow as soon as they're added to our HRIS, which means I'm not chasing people down on Day 1 to complete their compliance items, it just runs in the background. The training is short, well-designed, and doesn't make new hires feel like they're being lectured, which matters when you're trying to make Week 1 feel welcoming, not bureaucratic.
What do you dislike about the product?
The security training itself is short and well-designed, which matters more than people realize. New hires don't dread it, and that keeps Week 1 feeling welcoming rather than bureaucratic. For our SOC 2 work, the evidence collection happening in the background means audit prep isn't a fire drill, it's a side effect of normal operations.
One small friction point worth naming: new hires unfamiliar with MDM-style agents occasionally get confused by the install flow on Day 1. I've solved this with a one-line heads-up in the welcome email, but it's worth building into your onboarding comms from the start.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Onboarding compliance ran on chase-and-remind. Before Vanta, getting new hires through security training and device compliance meant manually assigning training, sending reminder Slacks, and pinging IT to confirm the agent was installed. Through our Rippling integration, Vanta now auto-enrolls new hires the moment they're added to our HRIS. Security training is assigned automatically, the agent install prompt fires on Day 1, and I can see completion status in a single dashboard. The benefit is concrete: my Day 1 checklist for new hires is shorter, nothing falls through the cracks, and I stopped being the bottleneck on compliance items I shouldn't be touching manually.
A Must-Have for Effortless Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Vanta helps us with security purposes and SOC2 compliance. It automates our compliance and assists the engineering team with security reviews. It also helps organize company materials for employees to review when hired. I like its ease of use and how it sends reminders when tasks are overdue. Vanta consolidates all our data and provides insights on our ability to pass certain tests. Having gentle nudges from Vanta helps us not forget about our due tasks, allowing quick access to see what's due without searching.

User-Friendly Platform, Needs Better Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of the platform, which makes it simple to navigate and manage our security tasks. I appreciate that Vanta connected us directly to a SOC auditor, simplifying our audit processes. Also, the initial setup of Vanta was very easy, allowing us to get started with minimal hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
The MCP/connector integrations are bad and seem to be behind other tech companies. The connector into Claude failed to correctly authorize me. And Vanta is big enough that it should be a listed vendor for both Claude and Chat GPT.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta for tracking security policies and audits, keeping all security information organized in one place.
Automated Tests Are a Huge Win for Policy Compliance
What do you like best about the product?
I think having the automated tests are huge. We sort of would like something that truly enforces that we're not just having stuff in place, but are enforcing our policies and such as well operationally.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think it can do a better job of truly enforcing that we're following things. Instead of just a policy exists, but here are examples where the policy was enforced, incident reports etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SOC compliance. Which would normally be a very large load.
Intuitive Compliance Tool with Friendly UI
What do you like best about the product?
I like Vanta's friendly and easy-to-navigate UI as it's intuitive and doesn't require a lot of time invested to get stuff done. The customer support is easily accessible, which is really valuable to me, and I found the initial setup to be easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Vanta provided more proactive recommendations, like automatically resolving outstanding issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta for compliance monitoring, policy management, vulnerability management, and customer trust center.
Streamlines Compliance with Effective Vendor Security
What do you like best about the product?
I like Vanta for its compliance standards, especially their correctness to these standards. It makes it easy to check any control or evidence required for compliance, and helps resolve vulnerabilities and core changes. Vanta is valuable for integrating with our vendors and maintaining our repository and access controls.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think they could improve Vanta by integrating AI features. It would be helpful if the evidence collected could be tested on the vendor without needing an auditor or third party. This would give us better visibility and understanding of the uploads. Also, the initial setup was pretty hard, although we had vendor support. Now it's easier, but it was a bit challenging initially to know how Vanta is useful and how to use it effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta for compliance with SOC 2 and other standards, vendor monitoring, managing changes, vulnerabilities, and maintaining evidence and access. It simplifies checking controls and maintaining a compliance repository.
Makes SOC 2 Compliance Clear and Easy
What do you like best about the product?
It tells you what you need to do to be Soc II compliant and automatically tracks a lot of the testing
What do you dislike about the product?
It is quite expensive for a small start up to use, but worth it if you don’t have a lot of resources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping provide a structure to ensure compliance.
Effortless Compliance with Vanta's User-Friendly Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Vanta is easy to use and I understand how to use it well. I also appreciate the Slack integration, which allows me to easily manage access for different people trying to access documents. The initial setup was incredibly easy and seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the beginning, I had to reconfigure my settings a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Effective for Compliance, Needs Better Auditor Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Vanta helps us achieve SOC 2 compliance and manage audits with less procurement hassle by providing a guide of the controls needed. I appreciate the new AI agent, which has relevant context of our existing policies, documents, and posture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is pretty steep. Auditor visibility and audit standardization could be improved. The platform leaves room for confusion with how evidence is tracked and shared. We find ourselves providing evidence for things that should be easily auto tracked. Initial setup was relatively difficult because it didn't provide guidance on what SOC2 is for a company navigating it for the first time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps us achieve compliance and get audits with less procurement. The new AI agent has relevant context of our existing policies, making it easier to navigate new territories.
