Vanta Reviews & Product Details

From an HR and People Operations standpoint, Vanta has made the security and compliance side of onboarding genuinely manageable. New hires get auto-enrolled into the security training and agent install workflow as soon as they're added to our HRIS, which means I'm not chasing people down on Day 1 to complete their compliance items, it just runs in the background. The training is short, well-designed, and doesn't make new hires feel like they're being lectured, which matters when you're trying to make Week 1 feel welcoming, not bureaucratic.

The security training itself is short and well-designed, which matters more than people realize. New hires don't dread it, and that keeps Week 1 feeling welcoming rather than bureaucratic. For our SOC 2 work, the evidence collection happening in the background means audit prep isn't a fire drill, it's a side effect of normal operations.

One small friction point worth naming: new hires unfamiliar with MDM-style agents occasionally get confused by the install flow on Day 1. I've solved this with a one-line heads-up in the welcome email, but it's worth building into your onboarding comms from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta is really easy to use and integrates well with the tools we already have. The best part is that we don't need to go back and forth with auditors using giant spreadsheets anymore. Everything is in one place. Uploading evidence is simple and saves us a lot of time during audits.

Performance has been solid for us. Our workload isn't huge so we haven't really pushed it to the limits, but we have no complaints there. Support and onboarding were great too, the app is pretty intuitive so we didn't need much hand-holding to get started.

On pricing, it's a bit on the higher side, especially if you're a startup going through your first audit. That said, the ROI is definitely there once you see how much time and effort it saves you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some user flows are hidden deep inside specific pages and not easy to find from the main menu. I get that they want to keep the menu clean, but it takes too many clicks to go from a failing test all the way to, say, removing a computer from an employee that left the company. And if you go directly to the computers page, it's not obvious that there's an unassigned computer sitting there. A bit more visibility on those things would help a lot.

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. Their automated security monitoring and continuous compliance tracking saved us countless hours. The implementation was smooth, and their team provided excellent support throughout. Most importantly, achieving SOC 2 with Vanta's help has opened doors to more enterprise clients, directly impacting our business growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

fits the entire compliance journey and provides fast product and feature releases. Listens to customer feedback. AI model is great for multiple languages. Integretions to most common platforms which are being improved on regular basis. UI is good an intutive - missing a dark mode and more addaption to company branding. Other than that the platform is performing as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of more control in terms of branding towards cooperate identity. Dark theme in the UI.

Tired of everything is a sales pitch when talking to everyone else than the support forum and team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
