Excellent Security and Compliance Solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Luiz Gustavo F. | Senior Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2024 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** The VGS Platform excels in providing robust security and compliance solutions without compromising performance. Its seamless integration with our existing infrastructure was particularly impressive. The platform's tokenization and aliasing capabilities ensure sensitive data is never exposed, significantly reducing our compliance burden. The detailed and customizable audit logs are invaluable for maintaining transparency and meeting regulatory requirements. Additionally, the developer-friendly API and comprehensive documentation made the implementation process smooth and efficient. Also they have a great customer support. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** I would like to be able to add initial values to certain form fields when using VGSCollect, so I don't have to use a workaround like working with two parallel forms, one VGS and the other non-VGS. Sometimes, due to business rules, we need to set initial values for some fields. Overall, VGS has significantly enhanced our data security and compliance posture, and I highly recommend their services. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** We integrate with multiple payment gateways, and VGS allows us to switch between these gateways. ### 2. Straight-forward integration (integrate with ease) **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vu K. | Senior Fullstack Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** It took me so little time to understand how VGS works and change our workflow to be proxied through VGS. Support has always been a great experience, especially via chat. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** I guess it is the fee I need to pay for extra CNAMEs. It is $40 per extra CNAME at the moment, wouldn't it be great if it was less or bundled in the package we pay yearly? **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed to be PCI compliant so that we could process credit card information flown from our 3rd party integration. We realized that integrating with VGS saved us huge time and cost compared to building up the infrastructure and all the work required by doing it on our own ### 3. Brilliant Data integration **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anish M. | Executive Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2023 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** The collecting process of VGS is outstanding the way they collecte sensible data is quite impressive and tge software is quite easy to use with it's filter and sort things **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** There no such thing about disliking but costing is one can be Little bit on high side but the way they are providing services it's bearable. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Storing credit card data with encryption as well as boosting compliances. It's besically reduces the effort for any type of collection process for credit card data. ### 4. Reliable and secure vaulting provider **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matteo G. | Product Group Lead - Payments, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2023 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** The vaulting and tokenization solutions provided by VGS ensure full PCI compliance at an affordable cost. Over the years, VGS has been a great partner, listening to our feedback and continuing to develop its product to fit our business needs. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** While the payments optimization solution (https://www.verygoodsecurity.com/payment-optimization) facilitates less sophisticated merchants to build their multi-PSP setup, VGS is still far from being considered an actual orchestration layer (such as Primer or Spreedly) **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Thanks to its flexibility, VGS enabled our business to move from a static single-PSP setup to a dynamic multi-PSP ecosystem to achieve 1) increased uptime & redundancy 2) higher auth rates 3) lower costs. ### 5. Developer-Centric and provides more fucntionality than other tokenization service **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Uziel Y. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2023 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** Developers have multiple ways of tokenizing sensitive data that other tokenization services don't provide. VGS doesn't require a tedious and unnecessary integration process, just develop and go. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** If you want to be PCI Certified and don't require storing cards or your payment processor has their own tokenization service and recurring payment functionality, using VGS and be in a contract plus have to pay a PCI certification rep isn't cost-effective and possibly unnecessary **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Providing security and the ability to store sensitive data in your database without the risk of said data being stolen or readable if your system is compromised. ### 6. Very easy to use and great platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2021 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** The easy usage and tutorials that explain how to do everything. In short: frictionless experience. It also speeds up a lot the PCI compliance certification process which is awesome. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** The price to generate custom CNAMES, $40 is too expensive to have a certificate in a world with free options like lets encrypt. For VGS Control sometimes they are still missing some important steps that auditors requires, but I think it is just a matter of time to everything up to date. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCI compliant and credit card obfuscation. Drastically reduces efforts on data management, security and compliance. **Official Response from Divya Buderia:** > Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with VGS. You left us some great feedback, and that's exactly what we strive for with our customers. We truly appreciate our collaboration and are thrilled about this partnership . If there’s ever anything we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. ### 7. VGS Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Antoni F. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 09, 2023 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** Ease and agility of response from the support team **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** Some documentation is out of date and you need to consult with support to verify the documentation. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** In our case, VGS allows us to securely store our customer's credit cards and allows us to make payments to third parties with these credit cards. ### 8. Takes the complex and expensive requirement of PCI compliance and makes it simple and affordable. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle K. | Head of Project Development, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2022 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** There is a super helpful team behind the scenes always willing to lend a helping hand in navigating the complexities and strict requirements for PCI DSS compliance. Their team is very responsive and they provide all of the documentation needed to show proof of compliance. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** Honestly hard to find anything to dislike with VGS. PCI DSS compliance in general is a painful, albeit very important requirement in the modern tech space. But VGS isn't setting the rules, they are just there to help tech companies follow them. If I were to point out one area of improvement would be the configuration of sanitation rules. The rules are composed of a pattern-seeking language like a Regular Expression but the syntax seems very specific to their platform. This isn't much of a drawback as again, they help you every step of the way and once the rules are set one would rarely need to go back and update them. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** VGS solves the problem of being PCI DSS compliant without having to go through the exorbitant cost of being directly PCI DSS Certified. It would be very difficult for small to medium-sized tech companies to develop services with custom payment solutions with the aid of PCI proxies like VGS. They also offer a lot of services surrounding card capture/storage and technical compliance. Beyond card sanitation and vault storage, they can help with achieving SOC compliance. Another unique and powerful service is the ability to supply users with up-to-date card details for captured cards. This leads to less friction between the SAAS provider and end-user as the provider doesn't need to regularly follow up with the user for updated payment information. ### 9. We started with tokenization and we've moved to payment orchestration because it has been so easy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle K. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2022 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** It was easy to implement and has expanded with our needs. It has made the process of certifying with payment partners so much easier. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** We would like it if we could filter our logs better. We send a lot of information to VGS but only want to look at some of it within the logging dashboard. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps make our PCI compliance easier with tokenization. It also helps us move between payment providers easier with orchestration. We don't need to write that code. **Official Response from Divya Buderia:** > Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with VGS. You left us some great feedback, and that's exactly what we strive for with our customers. We truly appreciate our collaboration and are thrilled about this partnership . If there’s ever anything we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. ### 10. Well documented api and very useful for tokenizing data securely **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2022 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** Their API documentation is very well put together. There is a lot of solid code examples using their API on github. I was able to mock up a proof of concept quickly for my team lead to show that we could do what we wanted to accomplish using VGS. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** I can't say there is anything major I didn't particularly like about working with VGS. Perhaps the concepts around using VGS Proxy for detokenization could have been better explained. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** We previously used our payment processor to tokenize PII & PFI, but that was tying us to them needlessly. VGS allows us to easily switch between payment providers and adhere to security audit requirements. ### 11. Solid and reliable concept. Great product. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maurice H. | Founder, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2022 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** Reliable and did not need additional support to implement **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** There is no visibility to going over the allocation for billing. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCI compliance and secure record storage. ### 12. VGS is easy to integrate and a great way to protect our user's sensitive information **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** VGS is really easy to integrate into our code base and we did not have many issues when trying to do so. I entrust VGS and think it is a very good way to secure our user's information. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** VGS website could be a little bit easier to navigate and more clear. When I first visited the website, I found it difficult to find what I was looking for, and had to spend time on there before getting used to it. **Recommendations to others considering VGS Platform:** I would absolutely recommend the product **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need to store user's sensitive information on a database that cannot be accessed without authorization. Our system stores sensitive keys and if in the wrong hands could compromise our users. ### 13. VGS platform app review **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rahul R. | IT lead engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 27, 2021 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** The best option on data integration,encryption and complaince offering mode.easy to work on the tokens and dashboards and offers a grest option to minimize data breach **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** the password setup and MFA is complex and the updates are not been provided frequently to ensure smooth running of the application to certain extend.The Admin page is a little slow. Mobile SDKs should be more simple **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** SOC complaince process was made easy and the token mechanism ensure extra layer of security for the application to work on to dleiver the best results in a secured maneer ### 14. Really good for most use cases! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Leejay H. | Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 05, 2021 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** The dashboard is friendly for beginners. Lots of useful token formats. Support is helpful and quick to respond. HTTP and SFTP filtering supported. I really like the log inspection feature in the dashboard. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** Advanced use cases can be difficult. Mostly in the SFTP filtering space. Seems like the SFTP product is not as mature as the HTTP proxy, which makes sense since I think most use of VGS will be in HTTP proxy. The dashboard is nice for onboarding new users, but eventually they become really difficult to manage. It would be nice if I could edit a filter's yaml directly in the dashboard, instead of having to export/re-import the whole yaml. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** SOC2 compliance, zero-PCI data in our systems, and anonymizing sensitive (but not PCI) data. ### 15. Easy integration, perfect security **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2021 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** Integration with VGS is incredibly easy, requiring ~10 minutes of developer time. We were able to move our most sensitive data, like SSNs, to VGS in a matter of hours. Additionally, the support for unique use cases (for example, we had to send through a secure TLS connection with custom certificates) is exceptional. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** While easy to integrate and very secure, VGS is expensive. Because of this, we only utilize it for our most sensitive data, whereas for less sensitive information, like emails and names, we use our own encryption and storage. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** VGS has made it easy for us to handle customer KYC with ease. We no longer have to worry about specialty infrastructure when building our product, which has greatly enabled us to move faster in product development by utilizing more standard SaaS building components that might not have the level of security required for handling sensitive data. With VGS, this is no longer an issue. ### 16.

The language used is specific to the product and requires initial training and thorough understanding. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Secure data storage benefits - Security of the data is no longer my concern now. They handle all the data custodianship. ### 17. amazing experience with VGS **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2022 **What do you like best about VGS Platform?** I've been using the VGS for the last couple of years.

They've been effortless to get support with my problems, which have been few. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** I have difficulty testing with them on my local, but I'm using ngrok, so that might be the issue rather than VGS. **What problems is VGS Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't want to see credit cards on my system, and I don't even like the credit cards to pass by my code. VGS solves that for me and gives me a quick service to take the card data. ### 23.

VGS Sattelite is great for learning how the platform works and creating a poc. **What do you dislike about VGS Platform?** Some more advanced features, which likely are often not used, are hard to configure.
