VGS Platform Pros and Cons

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease and agility of response from the support team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some documentation is out of date and you need to consult with support to verify the documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to implement and has expanded with our needs. It has made the process of certifying with payment partners so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
