Vanta Reviews

Vanta is a GRC platform with continuous compliance automation and monitoring. Some things normally take us hours to do in terms of pulling screenshots and configuration. Vanta is continuously plugged into an API and reports back to us so that we can save time, effort, and FTE hours.

Vanta primarily helps our organization with the SOC 2 and the PCI audits, ensuring we're in compliance full-time without having us do internal audits as frequently.

The most valuable feature of Vanta would be the time savings from the automation and the continuous compliance monitoring once set up.

Currently, Vanta's user access review module is still in development, and we've been giving them continuous feedback to help them improve that.

I have been using Vanta for two to three months.

I haven't had any issues with the solution's stability. I rate Vanta a nine out of ten for stability.

I rate Vanta an eight or nine out of ten for scalability.

Vanta’s customer support team is fantastic.

Positive

Vanta's initial setup is pretty straightforward, but there are a lot of customizations that you need to tailor to your specific environment. It's not out-of-the-box plug-and-play ready. You need pretty heavy customization.

We have seen a return on investment with Vanta.

Before choosing Vanta, we evaluated Drata and OneTrust. We chose Vanta because the Vanta team was the most responsive and had the best pricing.

We are using the latest version of Vanta. Vanta is a cloud-based solution.

Users need to ensure they have absolute buy-in from all the stakeholders. You can't deploy Vanta in a vacuum. You need buy-in from IT, HR, engineering, legal, compliance, etc. Otherwise, it's a very expensive tool to sit on the shelf.

Overall, I rate Vanta an eight out of ten.

I use it for compliance management.

The most valuable feature of Vanta is its prebuilt control frameworks, which enable us to quickly achieve and sustain compliance without the need for extensive manual setup or configuration.

The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate. Sometimes, after satisfying a control, the dashboard may not immediately update, requiring multiple refreshes for accurate status display.

I have been using Vanta for about six months.

Overall, I would rate Vanta's stability around a nine out of ten. While there is occasional latency in status updates, it hasn't caused significant issues, and hitting refresh resolves any delays.

I would rate Vanta's scalability around a nine out of ten. With constant updates and added capabilities like AI for third-party vendor reviews, it efficiently accommodates our organization's growth and diverse compliance needs.

I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of Vanta was straightforward and I would rate the easiness of it as a nine out of ten. While there were minor challenges with integrations, overall, it provided policy templates and allowed for easy customization, making the process relatively smooth.

Vanta offers value through its partner ecosystem, potentially reducing audit costs due to streamlined processes and volume discounts from previous modules. I would rate Vanta at a two out of ten in terms of costliness.

We use Vanta for SOC 2 compliance prep by integrating our security controls and policies. It automatically checks if controls are met, reducing audit time by about half since evidence is gathered beforehand, minimizing back-and-forth with auditors.

Vanta's continuous monitoring integrates with our ticketing system and vulnerability scanning solution, enabling real-time tracking of security issues. It provides an audit trail for vulnerability management, with built-in SLAs to ensure timely remediation and compliance.

I would recommend Vanta to others. It simplifies compliance management and consistently adds new features, making it effective and reliable for getting the job done.

Overall, I would rate Vanta as a nine out of ten.
