    MetricStream
    MetricStream is well suited for when you need to pull a report into Excel for further analysis. It is not good for when information needs to be entered as this is all done manually by analysts and managers. If we can implement a way to take parts of uploaded documents and have the system automatically enter the information in the designated fields in MetricStream, it would cut out lots of manual work for our department.

    Vanta seems excellent for startups, but I expect that they would be even more useful at bigger companies. I think it really helps people that haven't done SOC2 before. I also think it would help in monitoring compliance across teams with many users. If the budget is extremely tight, I think it would be possible to save money by not using it.

    Vanta
    • API driven capabilities offer a very easy way to connect your systems to their application.
    • It was mostly intuitive to figure out what needed to be configured.
    • I like how responsive they have been and how they have been able to outline the entire process for us from the start to the end.

    Cons
    MetricStream
    • Speed/efficiency.
    • Missing functionality: Uploading documents (Excel sheets) into MetricStream and being able to pull information from that form into the program.
    • Improve number of outages and time that it is out for.

    • In my opinion, they make it very hard to contact them when you need something.
    • In my experience, they write their contracts to make it difficult to cancel service.
    • In my experience, they have no policy for refunds in addition to their [...] contacts.

    MetricStream
    Archer is more risk-management-friendly in that it has a better interface and more room to conduct risk-related tasks and pull reports.

    Vanta's reporting was far superior, the price was competitive but my engineers running the project said that working with vanta would save them significant amount of time. Secondly vanta had more integrations so they could plug directly into the systems we use!

    • We were able to close contracts because we had our SOCII compliance in place
    • SOCII certification process was reduced by at least 80%
