Time-saving tool with room for small improvements

Overall, it’s been a great experience. Vanta really takes the stress out of managing compliance and security by automating so much of the work. It’s reliable and does what it promises, though there are a few areas where it could improve, like giving users more control over notifications and tweaking integrations. Still, it’s a tool I’d recommend to anyone dealing with compliance.

Functionality

Pros:

I really like how easy it is to use. It saves a ton of time when dealing with compliance and security tasks, especially compared to doing everything manually. The dashboards are well-designed, so it’s easy to see what needs attention and track progress without getting lost. It feels like it’s made for busy teams that don’t want to waste time figuring out complicated systems.

Cons:

Sometimes there are just too many notifications or reminders, and it can feel a bit overwhelming if you’re trying to focus on other tasks. It’d be great if there was a way to customize them more, like turning off ones that aren’t super urgent. Also, some integrations could work smoother, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

Pros:

I LOVE how Vanta makes it easier to stay compliant with various compliance and security standards. Managing that stuff manually is a nightmare.

Cons:

When I was uploading evidence for one of Vanta's tests, it allows me to check multiple users and upload evidence but it only uploaded one of the files not the 2 that I tried to upload. I only found this out later when someone asked where the other evidence was. So I guess if it won't allow me to do something, it should tell me upfront about it.

Solid Compliance Tool, But Not Startup-Friendly

Vanta’s platform does its job well from a technical perspective — the automation works, and the integrations are solid. But as a small startup with fewer than 10 employees, the experience was disappointing due to the lack of flexibility and customer understanding. When we ran into financial challenges, we simply wanted to stop paying for a service we weren’t using. Instead, we were told we were locked in for the remainder of the contract. It became clear that Vanta caters more to mid-size and enterprise companies than to early-stage startups.

Pros:

The integrations with AWS and other major services were smooth and reliable. The automated SOC 2 checks worked as promised and made it easy to stay compliant without a ton of manual work. The platform itself is stable and well-designed, and it helped us keep our systems aligned with best security practices.

Cons:

The contract terms are extremely rigid and not startup-friendly. We were locked into a two-year agreement, and when our financial situation changed, Vanta refused to work with us or allow an early exit — even though we hadn’t logged in for over a year. Their support team was polite but inflexible, showing little empathy or understanding for small companies. The pricing is also much higher than other compliance tools that offer similar functionality.

Pros:

the platform is pretty decent to navigate, other than that, there is not much to say nice about the experience.

Cons:

My company had a awful experience with Vanta. We were working towards our SOC2 Compliance when our government contract was abruptly cut with the government sweeps. We alerted our account manager immediately, as we no longer had a need for the compliance certificate and were looking to cancel the service. We had not signed up for an audit, or gone through much of the program. We met with [sensitive content hidden] and they said they would do what they could to help us. Our first meeting was on January 29 and they did not provide us a resolution until APRIL 15. We repeatedly sent emails and were given the basic run around, they forgot, they were out, they're sorry for the delay etc etc. We came to them with a delicate situation and they grossly mismanaged it.

Streamlining SOC 2 compliacne with Vanta

We've been using Vanta for several years, particularly for ISMS, policy management, SOC 2 compliance, and audits. Overall, I have no complaints. It provides great helps to collect evidence needed for SOC2 audits in automated way, though there are still quite a few things i need to do manually.

It does help me and my organization to prepare Soc2 audits which is very tedious and boring by collecting all evidences needed for audits in automated way. And Its UI very user friendly by providing dashboards and reports to track compliance status.

Cons:

do not have that much of it. But I could say that its UI looks bit old though compared to other platforms.

The most frustrating vendor relationship I've ever had.

Pros:

UX/UI is simple and straightforward. Outside of that, I don't like much.

Cons:

Vanta is parasitic - I would avoid unless you're comfortable risking the below sort of vendor/client relationship. Vanta sent us an invoice reminder for a $15,600 bill that was on an auto-payment scheduled. I responded as soon as I received the invoice to request a delay for us to decide whether we would like to continue the service or not. There was NO note on the invoice specifying that it would be "auto-paid". My request for delay went to apparently went to an undelivered address. When the invoice due date came, our card was auto-charged. I followed up with Vanta IMMEDIATELY to request clarity and a refund as I understood we had an invoice, not an auto-drafting payment. They were not authorized to auto-draft it. After following up and escalating the request for several months, the only response I've gotten to date is "look at our terms of service". We are a potential long-term client, being treated like a number on a spreadsheet. Why? We are making ZERO draws on Vanta services, yet they are treating us like this. Why? This has been the most frustrating and unreasonable vendor/client relationship I've ever experienced.

Vendor Response

Hi Kevin, We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share it. We aim to be transparent and responsive in all customer interactions, and we’re sorry this situation didn’t meet that bar for you. Our team has worked with you directly, and we’re glad we were able to find a resolution together.
