"Streamlined SOC2 Compliance, Intuitive and Effective"
5/5
What do you like best about Drata?

I appreciate how Drata keeps everything organized, from evidence and compliance to risk management, making it the key to everything. The interface is always improving, becoming smarter and easier to use, which is great since I am in it every day working on compliance. What I really like is how the interface actively guides me through compliance work by linking controls, policies, and integrations together. It lets me see what's wrong, what's missing, why it matters, and how to fix it. The setup process is very intuitive as well, allowing me to add and remove vendors, policies, and connections easily. Drata was essential in obtaining our first SOC2 certification and continues to be invaluable in maintaining it. I can't imagine how challenging it would be to organize everything without Drata.

What do you dislike about Drata?

I always seem to struggle when it comes to the hardware. I feel that workstations could be reported on a little better. Same for people. When looking at people, and seeing their compliance tasks overdue, like policies, it feels a bit convoluted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lizzie Higgins of Drata

"Comprehensive Compliance Templates for Nearly Every Audit Type"
5/5
What do you like best about Drata?

Drata let's us control all of our compliance/audit related requirements in one system–simple as that. The UX is great–it's easy to understand, easy to navigate, easy to add evidence, etc. The automation workflows are great–being able to automatically import all of our employees, devices, 2FA rules, etc. directly from our SaaS/PaaS products (e.g., Azure) is fantastic. The TrustCenter is quite helpful as well as a way of sharing sensitive documents (e.g. audit reports) with third parties in a tracked manner. It's a great tool tbh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drata?

It's a big system so it can be quite confusing at first. It's hard to know what's actually required for your various audit types–Drata gives you a template for nearly everything, but do you actually need everything in the template? Probably not. That's not Drata's fault, it's just the nature of being a generalized compliance tool that works across every industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lizzie Higgins of Drata

Thank you so much for the feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you find Drata's UX and automation workflows to be great, and that Trust Center has been helpful :) We appreciate your feedback and are constantly working to improve the user experience and simplify the process of understanding and managing compliance requirements specific to your org.

"Easy-to-Use Interface, Reliable Security Solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Drata?

I like how easily and friendly the interface of Drata is. It's very clean, and everything is easy to find, which is important since we ask our employees to use this software once a year; having an easy-to-use interface is crucial. It ensures that they can complete courses and understand everything without spending a lot of time figuring out how the software works. The initial setup was easy too; we just needed to set some things, and it was working pretty well. Everyone can do the courses and make sure they're aware of the best practices, so it's easy-going software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drata?

I had some issues logging in, but the team was very helpful. They helped me, and I received a reply a few minutes after requesting some help. They can add an option to log in with social media to avoid issues, such as not receiving matching links because they end up in the spam folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lizzie Higgins of Drata

"Strong AWS Integrations and Automation, but a Confusing UI and Terminology"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Drata?

As a devops engineer the most useful part is the AWS integrations (and other similar integrations), and the automated controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drata?

The web interface is sometimes hard to navigate, links don't always open what I expect, or are just lacking. The wording is sometimes confusing: some terms seem specific to Drata and need to be learnt, but there's no contextual help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ashley Hyman of Drata

Thank you so much for your review!

I'd love to connect and learn more about your challenges with navigation and terminology. Your feedback is very important to us. Please reach out to me at ashley@drata.com to review in more detail.

Looking forward to chatting with you!

"Outstanding for Security Compliance and Evidence Collection"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Drata?

I like the most the ease of communication with auditors through the platform. I also like the ease of tracking Personnel compliance through Drata. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drata?

I really had more use from customer support than from our account manager to be honest. Also, some fixes took weeks for us, which was not convenient since it was during the audit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Compliance with Stellar Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Drata?

I like that Drata helps me with getting ISO 27001 by working as a checklist. The interface and integrations work really well, which I find valuable. It's easy to use and offers clear progress tracking, which allows us to scope tasks efficiently. The customer support is great, as demonstrated when Terrious helped me with the Orca integration issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drata?

The Orca integration was not working but Terrious managed to help me. Support was great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Onboarding, Budget-Friendly Compliance"
4/5
What do you like best about Drata?

I like the pricing point of Drata, which is important as we are mindful about our budget while trying to achieve SOC2 compliance. The onboarding process was smooth, and we were guided through a series of workshops and onboarding sessions that provided us the tools to start using the platform effectively. The initial setup of Drata was also easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drata?

The UI is a little confusing sometimes. As someone who has already done a SOC2 audit with a competitor product, I sometimes find the Drata platform a little confusing. It's not straightforward to see what tasks are missing and what specific things we need to fix. I think UX could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lizzie Higgins of Drata

Hi Matt!

Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback :) So glad to hear your onboarding was smooth and that its helped to reduce your audit burden. We also appreciate the feedback about the UI, and since your review, have released major updates to our interface. I'd love to know what you think of the new user interface, so feel free to send over any questions or thoughts to me (lizziehiggins@drata.com). Thanks again for the continued partnership, and keep the ideas coming!

"Drata: Centralized and Efficient for Compliance"
5/5
What do you like best about Drata?

I love the ease of use of Drata. The centralization is what helps us the most, it saves a lot of time with our small team. It prevents us from having confusion about what is up-to-date or not. I also appreciate the sharing with our auditors for certifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Drata?

For now, nothing. Except maybe the price, which is high for a startup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lizzie Higgins of Drata

We're delighted to hear that Drata is helping you centralize your compliance program, even with a small team managing SOC 2 and GDPR. We also appreciate your feedback regarding pricing and will surface to the appropriate team to ensure we continue providing value for all our customers.
