Vanta Reviews & Product Details

What I appreciate most about Vanta is its ability to manage compliance across various frameworks. The platform offers a wide range of templates and policy generators, ensuring that you don't overlook any required sections for your compliance needs. Vanta also integrates with numerous vendors, allowing for automated testing of both user management and potential vulnerabilities within your infrastructure. While it's possible to handle these tasks manually, doing so would require the entire team's effort and would consume a significant amount of time and resources.

Vanta performs all its functions smoothly and without any issues. My main complaint is that certain features, such as detailed role and permission management, are only available in the higher-priced plans. But overall, the core functionality works as expected.

Vanta pulls proof straight from our systems and shows live control status, so I can share a clear security snapshot with prospects during RFPs. When we were preparing for SOC 2, a lot of evidence was already available in the dashboard, which made our customer calls and demos much more confident and shorter.

Setting it up took more time than I expected and sometimes the tool wants documents in a strict format, so I re upload a file now and then. The price can feel high for very small deals, but for larger opportunities the trust it creates usually pays off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta connects to our cloud, identity, and productivity tools and starts pulling evidence on its own, so I stop chasing teams for screenshots and logs. During SOC 2 prep it collected access logs and config snapshots automatically, letting me focus on fixing gaps instead of hunting for proof. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform can be picky about how evidence is formatted, so sometimes I reformat and re-upload files. A few legacy systems didn’t integrate cleanly and needed manual evidence, and the initial setup required some engineering time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta plugs into the systems we already use and gathers proof for us without constant emails. The dashboard shows which checks are green and which need attention, and it lets me assign tasks so my team knows exactly what to fix next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fewtimes vanta asks for evidence in a strict format, so I have to re upload documents that already prove the same thing. A few older tools didn’t connect cleanly at first, which meant some extra manual steps during setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta connects with our main systems and shows which controls are passing or failing in real time. It collects most of the proof automatically, so I don’t have to keep asking different teams for updates. The alerts are clear and help us fix issues before they grow bigger.

Vanta asks for documents in a very strict format, which means I need to redo or rename files. It also takes a bit of time to connect every tool correctly the first time, but after setup it runs smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way it connects directly with our cloud environment and the tools we use every day. This level of integration makes it easy to keep everything in sync without a lot of manual effort. I also find the alerting system extremely valuable because it lets me know right away when something isn't working as expected or when we are drifting away from compliance requirements. Having visibility give me peace of mind, although I don't get all the information as clearly as I would like, but I deal with it, and it also helps my team address issues before they become bigger problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the alert system is valuable, the way it presents information can sometimes be overwhelming or unclear. Certain alerts lack enough context and appear in some cases as codes, which make it harder to immediately understand the source of the issue. This can turn into extra time spent investigating and trying to allocate the affected resources. A more streamlined way of categorizing alerts and linking directly to the impacted systems would make the experience far more efficient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta has transformed the way we approach compliance by automating evidence collection, monitoring controls, and integrating seamlessly with out tech stack (Google Workspace, AWS, Slack etc). The platform saves significant time, reduces manual overhead, and gives us real-time visibility into gaps. The guided workflows, audit preparation tools, and policy templates make it easier to stay on top of SOC 2 readiness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The depth of integrations is excellent, but can be a little USA vendor focused. Reporting could also be more customisable for different audiences (board, auditor, internal teams). These are relatively minor compared to the value it delivers overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vanta brings all our compliance and security tasks into one place. Instead of tracking spreadsheets and sending reminders to teams, I can see control health in real time. It makes governance feel less like a paperwork job and more like a continuous process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, the tool feels a bit rigid with evidence formats. Even when the content is correct, I’ve had to re upload documents because they didn’t match the expected style. It’s a small slowdown but noticeable during busy cycles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy using Vanta because it makes reviewing client security questionnaires so much easier. The AI provides suggested answers based on previously completed questionnaires, which is not only faster and more efficient, but also makes it much easier for new team members to get involved in the process.

Another feature I value a lot is the ability to assign tasks, approve, and comment directly within Vanta. This helps keep everything in one place and avoids the risk of information getting lost. Overall, it has streamlined our workflow and improved collaboration across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That said, sometimes I feel that Vanta is not very intuitive, perhaps because I don’t use it regularly, only when a task is assigned to me. Since I haven’t explored it deeply yet, I find myself a bit lost when trying to access other functionalities, such as the policies section, which I believe also adds great value to the platform.

Vanta is built for the moments that decide whether you win or lose. I’ve lived those moments - high-stakes deals, impossible timelines, frameworks colliding, and zero margin for error. Vanta doesn’t just get you “audit ready”; it transforms compliance into a daily competitive advantage.

Its automation is the real kind - the kind that cuts weeks of duplicate work without breaking your workflows. Control mapping across frameworks means my team can chase growth instead of proving the same thing five different ways. Integrations run deep enough that at any moment, I can show a living, breathing security posture. And the support? They show up in the fight, every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you’ve felt what speed, flexibility, and auditor alignment at this level are like, every other platform feels like a step backwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
