Vanta Reviews & Product Details

Getting started with Vanta was honestly super easy, and their customer support team actually helps wherever we get stuck. I love the automated evidence collection feature because it pulls compliance data straight from our cloud vendors, so I never have to beg sales reps for their security documents.

The platform gets a little confused if a smaller maritime supplier is running their databases on super outdated, non-standard servers. I usually end up having to ping the support desk to help me manually clear the error codes just so my main compliance dashboard stops flashing red all week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability of Vanta to connect to AWS, GITHUB, your HR system, Google workspace, etc. Trying to find violation manually is just a looser. No one has the concentration to review 100's of AWS settings for compliance, match SW vulnerabilities to code and libraries used. Additionally, even if you get to compliance, things are always changing and systems are growing. The ability to automatically check for issue day in and day out is the only way to handle HIPAA compliance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me a while to understand the hierarchy, connections, and navigation. The learning curve is initially steep, but gets easier. It does require consistent use to be good at the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly the main thing is the integrations. We connected AWS, Bitbucket, Google Workspace, Jira, Confluence, and Slack and it just started collecting evidence automatically. Access reviews, inventory from AWS, policy docs from Confluence - stuff that would've taken us a while to figure out how to document on our own. We got Vanta because we needed SOC 2 and didn't really know where to start, and the onboarding walked us through what controls we actually needed to have in place, which helped a lot early on. The dashboard is clean and easy to scan - I check it most weeks to see if anything's drifted and I don't have to dig around to find what I need. Year and a half in and it does what we need it to.

The Slack notifications are too noisy. We had to tune them down pretty quickly because the channel was getting flooded with stuff that didn't need immediate attention, and at that point people just start ignoring everything. Could use better filtering or some way to set severity thresholds for what actually gets sent. The AI features also feel pretty early. I've poked at them a few times and the output wasn't useful enough to trust without rewriting most of it anyway, so I just stopped using them. Not a dealbreaker since we didn't buy Vanta for AI, but if they're going to put it in the product it should do more than generate vague first drafts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta’s automated integrations and centralized dashboard can be useful for monitoring technical controls once everything is properly configured. The platform does provide a single place to view compliance frameworks, automated tests, policies, and evidence. However, in our experience, these benefits were outweighed by the confusing implementation process and lack of hands-on support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is confusing, requires far more manual interpretation and evidence creation than the sales process led us to expect, and lacks the hands-on support an early-stage company needs. After the sale, our salesperson stopped responding while we were simply trying to identify our account manager. The Workstreet assistance was time-limited, involved communication delays, and did not provide the live, hands-on guidance we had received from our previous compliance provider.

When we decided Vanta was not a workable fit, we proposed that Vanta keep everything we had already paid and cancel only the unpaid remainder because we had no intention of using the platform. We later offered an additional monthly payment as an early-termination fee. Vanta refused both proposals, citing its policy against mid-contract cancellations and revenue-recognition practices. Instead, it insisted on enforcing approximately $13,500 in remaining payments from a small startup for a platform we will not use.

The combination of poor post-sale support, a difficult implementation process, and complete contractual inflexibility made this one of our worst vendor experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta has helped us simplify the way we handle compliance and security. The automated evidence collection saves a lot of time, and features like continuous monitoring, risk tracking, and policy management give us a better overview of everything. The platform is quick and stable, also onboarding was straightforward, and support has been helpful when we needed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing is still the main concern, especially for smaller teams. Some of the advanced configurations can also take a little time to get right, but after the initial setup, it has been working well for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta has made our compliance process much more manageable. The automated evidence collection saves us from doing repetitive tasks manually, while continuous monitoring and risk tracking help us stay updated. The dashboard is simple to navigate. The platform performs reliably and onboarding was also very quick. Their customer support has been also helpful whenever we had questions. Like we have been doing the process of evidence collection manually, after purchasing Vanta its AI features automatically do it for us like we don't have to take thousands of screenshots manually and keep them in a separate folder.

The cost can be a concern for smaller teams. Some integrations and advanced configurations also need a little extra effort during setup, but once everything is configured, the platform works very smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I like about Vanta is how much time it saves during SOC 2 audit preparation. The UI/UX is clean, making onboarding and navigation simple. Setting up the integrations with AWS, Github, and Slack was smooth , and the system performance is fast with zero lag. The support was very responsive during initial setup.

The initial setup for non standard integrations takes more time than expected and requires manual workarounds. Also, during the first couple of weeks, the email alerts for failing controls were way too frequent until we tuned the monitoring rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
