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.
Streamlined SOC 2 Compliance with User-Friendly UI
What do you like best about the product?
I like Vanta for its easy UI/UX, which I find simple to understand and helps me stay organized. The Slack alerts during audit windows are helpful as they notify me when something becomes non-compliant, making it easy to fix issues promptly. I also appreciate the support for lots of third-party integrations, which reduces the amount of work I have to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the customer success team. I'm unsure who our account manager is and how to contact them. It seems like we're always getting emails from different people, and it's hard to keep track of. Plus, they only email us to try and get us to use or buy new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta for SOC 2 compliance, connecting with auditors, organizing documents, and using their templates. The easy UI/UX, Slack alerts, and 3P integrations help me stay organized and fix compliance issues easily, reducing my workload.
Easy to Use, Feature-Rich, and Powered by Automated Tests
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, comprehensive functionality and availability of automated tests. Very efficient process!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the links in the notifications don't take you right to the related item and you have to look for it but that's not common and nitpicky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining SOC2 compliance audit process. The depth of automated tests for our integrated systems i.e. MS, AWS, Bitbucket etc. saves us having to produce documentation manually for much of the controls. And for the ones we do need manual gathering, everything is still in one place and it's easy to keep track of where you are with all the requirements.
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
n/a
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta to automate compliance and keep our engineering team updated on security. It organizes materials for new employees and consolidates data, offering reminders about due tasks and insight into passing tests.
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.
Easy-to-Use Platform That Stands Out from Competitors
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use platform compared to competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes they make changes and move things around that are no longer logical.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To me Vanta takes over a $75k year compliance person and allows us to easily manage and understand our requirements.
Effortless Compliance with Clear Standards
What do you like best about the product?
I use Vanta for compliance, including SOC 2 and ISO standards. It makes getting these certifications a smooth process and clearly outlines the requirements we have to meet. I like how it keeps our security posture tight. I also really like the automated tests for engineering. The initial setup was easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I want more granularity with the Slack bot. I'd like it to support pinging me for failing tests only for certain standards, and I want to be able to filter pings by certain standards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta makes getting certifications a smooth process, clarifies requirements, and keeps our security posture tight.
Major Audit Time Saver, but Missing Integrations and Out-of-Scope Controls
What do you like best about the product?
Automates the collection of most of our compliance evidence that is normally a manual process to enter. It cuts the audit time significantly
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing some software integrations that we use and so some manual gathering is needed. There’s also no easy way to mark some things as out of scope in the software integrations and so we have auditors ask us about products or services that arent in scope for our compliance controls
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lack of resources dedicated to compliance
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.
Effortlessly Navigates Compliance for All
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how quick Vanta is, as it's actively running tests between connections, integrations, and internal processes. This makes cybersecurity easy and visible for non-technical people. I find that Vanta makes compliance a walk in the park, allowing me to see exactly what needs to be done and how to remediate tasks when things go south. As an admin, I value the notifications for new hires or connections and the reliability of the failsafe feature. I also like how robust and 100% reliable the platform is, and the initial setup was exceedingly easy with just a download of the Device Monitor, which anyone can do.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it comes to adding multiple devices (computers/laptops) to one user it can get messy. It's very feasible and easy but not so straightforward. I'd like to see there's a button somewhere for 'Add Device'. Currently, you have to add it and wait for Vanta to pick it up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Vanta for security and compliance, helping us visualize tasks for frameworks like SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001. It's quick, making cybersecurity easy and visible for non-technical people and compliance straightforward.
