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.

I need to manually pull things together from different aspects of Vanta and combine them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
