Great GRC instrument
Pros
Policy creation and management. Toons of integration and automated tests. Very cool integrated vulnerability management.
Cons
Risk management can be more flexible. We started the new approach to risk assessment and can’t use internal risk management instrument so we made it in excel :-)

Essential for Compliance
We needed to get SOC 2 audit ready and were only progressing slowly with the manual approach. As it turned out that manual preamble was useful because when we started using Vanta, we understood the terminology and understood what was wanted.
Pros
Vanta enabled us to move our compliance (SOC 2, and next PCI) projects forward in an organized and monitored manner. After struggling manually with SOC 2 requirements with a major accounting firm, we got to audit readiness in half a year and felt confident going into our audit.
Cons
There is definitely a learning curve, and I am sure the system has useful features that I have not encountered yet. That is not really a negative, though.
Reasons for Switching to Vanta
3 main reasons: 1. Vanta's integration with an audit firm. We could connect with an audit firm through Vanta, rather than just working from a list. 2. The price was actually the most reasonable. 3. They offer modules for other frameworks we want to work on going forward.

Awesome tool to make your company audit ready
Pros
The automation that Vanta offers, does get you really far on your path to become a certified company. The policy builder is one of the best features of the service. There is a wide variety of different frameworks to choose from.
Cons
The start can be a bit overwhelming because there is a lot to do but you will get forward quite fast.

BUYER BEWARE
This business charged my card for a second year without permission and after being told I would not renew. They took thousands of dollars. I needed to do a chargeback after they refused to return the money even though I notified them same day they were previously told I would not renew. It turns out they have a clause in their contact that says you need to notify them 30 days in advance of renewal. Well, guess what? I did! Still, it's a stupid clause that they use, clearly, to force clients to renew who don't realize such a clause exists. Buyer beware with this shady organization. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, except maybe someone I didn't like.
Pros
The software seemed easy to use - at first, until some of my documents disappeared without explanation.
Cons
They lost documents, and weren't able to explain to me satisfactorily where they went. This caused me to question renewal. I notified them I wouldn't renew without a good explanation, which I never got. Also, they make very difficult to reach them when you have a problem. At the time of this writing, no phone numbers in any email signatures, not on the web site either. You're forced into their process, and if they choose not to answer you via their web form, good luck. It's a black box at that point.

Compliance simplified
Very good. We have been able to formalize our internal security programs and successfully completed our SOC2 audit.
The Vanta team has always been very responsive to our needs, soliciting feedback and promptly answering questions (no matter how basic) and guiding is in the right direction.
Pros
We love that Vanta has made it easy for us to develop a comprehensive InfoSec program and helped us prepare for our SOC2 audit. Onboarding was straightforward and the continuous monitoring ensures ongoing compliance. The product integrates with most of the software we use day-to-day and has saved a lot of time.
Cons
There are some areas of the UI which are a bit rough around the edges and non-intuitive, I chalk this up to Vanta being a relatively new product. It has improved a lot since we became a customer and specific areas such as the employees onboarding/off-boarding flows show that the team is constantly iterating and responsive to user feedback.
In addition, I would love to see more automation in the product - we are a smaller company without a dedicated IT team. Vanta does a great job of alerting us to issues, but being able to help us take steps to remediate would be much appreciated.
