Vanta Reviews & Product Details

I use Vanta to automate and streamline our security compliance processes for SOC 2 certification. It eliminates the manual and time-consuming process of gathering evidence for compliance audits by automatically pulling evidence from our integrated tools, which saves us significant time and reduces human error. I love Vanta's extensive integration ecosystem, as it connects seamlessly with tools like AWS, GitHub, Google Workspace, and many others, making evidence collection almost effortless. The dashboard is very intuitive, allowing me to quickly see our compliance status and identify what needs attention. I also appreciate the automated employee onboarding for security training. Vanta's onboarding documentation and guided setup wizards were really helpful, and their support team was very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can be steep for smaller companies or startups, which might make it less accessible for teams just starting their compliance journey. Also, the initial setup and configuration of integrations can take some time, especially if you have a complex tech stack. Some of the reporting features could be more customizable — for instance, generating tailored reports for different stakeholders would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta's system integrates with hundreds of different systems, making it easy to automate tasks and tests. Additionally, there are provided templates for almost all documents needed to give you a starting point and guide you in the correct direction for drafting. Beyond checking the box, the Vanta platform guided us seamlessly through the compliance process and fundamentally helped our organization change the way we operate for the better. Whenever confusion or questions came up, our support rep or the customer service team was also very prompt with responding and assisting. They also connected us with potential audit firms and organizations we needed to complete our certifications. We use this platform almost every day even when we're not under audit, and almost any size of organization could benefit from this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though Vanta makes compliance so much cheaper than traditional means, it's still a fairly expensive platform, especially for small businesses. They're plans are now more integrated, but the add-ons can add up in cost as well. They'd addressed this with new "packages" to bundle these add-ons in. I do wish some of these add-ons weren't so expensive for smaller startups, which desperately need to the most automation but have the smallest budgets. They continue to add new integrations every month, which makes it work very seamlessly, but still missing a few we'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta is the right balance of monitoring, alerting, and tracking to make it easy to meet SOC 2 Type 1 and 2 requirements. We also have started using it for ISO 27001:2022. You can choose to use all of their features or some of their features with no pain. Their SSO platform makes it easy to monitor employee computers, servers, and SLA's.

Vanta has made great progress on the overall bugs and user interface but there is still a lot to be desired. It almost always opens a new tab so if you're really cranking on something, you end up with a million tabs. Also, there choice in buttons is kind of annoying and flat. You'll be looking for an upload button or something and it is hiding in the same color as everything else. A little contrast would go a long way as you're going through repititive processes on pages that look alike but sometimes aren't Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s very easy to use, and it guides you through the steps in a natural way. The best part is the automations and integrations, because they save a lot of time and make the whole compliance process much more efficient. The AI reviews are useful, and the number of frameworks available is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work with a not-so-common framework, and it isn’t updated on time or maintained consistently. It’s frustrating having to add controls manually. Support could also be better, and I think they should add more capabilities to the lower tiers so they can stay competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta was extremely helpful in setting us up for success with our SOC 2 certification. The platform streamlined the entire compliance process and made it much less daunting.

While Vanta has been great overall, the pricing can be on the higher side for smaller startups. Initially, there was a bit of a learning curve to understand all the features and how to maximize the platform's capabilities. Some integrations could be smoother, requiring occasional manual intervention. However, these are minor issues compared to the overall value Vanta provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Vanta is how straightforward it is to use, even for someone without a compliance background. The platform takes what could be a very complex process and makes it feel structured and manageable. The UI is clean and intuitive, so it’s easy to see what needs to be done, understand why it matters, and stay on track.

I also really appreciate the Slack integration. It makes it much easier to involve the team and keep compliance tasks moving forward without constantly having to chase people down. Overall, Vanta does a great job of making compliance feel less overwhelming and more like a normal, day-to-day part of operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any major complaints about Vanta from a product standpoint. If I had to point to something, it would be the cost. For smaller teams or early-stage companies, it can feel like a significant investment. That said, it does replace a lot of manual work and external consulting effort, so the value becomes clearer once you’re actively going through a compliance process.

I really appreciate how easy it is to integrate with our existing tools and how quickly it gives visibility into our compliance posture.

Some integrations could be more customizable for complex environments, and occasionally certain controls produce false positives or require manual tuning. Reporting capabilities are good but could offer more flexibility for advanced, tailored reports. Overall, these are minor issues compared to the overall value.

Honestly, the best thing about Vanta is the clarity it provides and the time it saves. Rather than scrambling for screenshots and evidence when an audit comes around, we can check our compliance posture at any time, quickly spot and track gaps, and pull evidence from connected tools all in one place. It’s made audits much smoother and has helped the team focus more on fixing issues instead of getting bogged down in admin work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback is limited customisation. We’d like more ability to tailor tests and evidence checks to our environment rather than fitting into a fixed template. The good news is we’ve been told enhanced custom tests are on the roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta helped us automate several time-consuming security compliance processes on our journey to achieving SOC2 compliance. It's intuitive UI and checklist-driven workflow made setup much faster and helped ensure we were prioritizing the right things. Real-time monitoring and prompt alerts also helped us stay ahead and plan for any inconveniences in a timely manner. Evidence collection and the policy templates were especially useful, saving us a lot of manual time. Integration was very straightforward as well. Customer support was good throughout. We use Vanta regularly to monitor and mitigate potential problems, and I highly recommend it. Overall, it has been a great experience using the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Document versioning can be improved. Vanta if not properly configured, can produce a high number of alerts and emails which then needs to be properly managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
