Overall Satisfaction with Vanta

Fast SOC2 type 2 completion. Needed it done in less than a year. We were able to get there and also reduces our overall cost in engineering and auditing by at least 60%. When using Vanta for a SOC2 audit, it actively monitors things like user management, payroll, and other HR systems, Cloud platforms. For users that also have their day-to-day tasks to complete, this is a huge help
  • 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.
  • Alerts and employee onboarding and offboarding were not entirely complete when we started using the product.
  • It would be nice if we could assign policies to specific people in the Vanta app.
  • Sometimes, refreshing the tests when you make the changes to pass takes a little more time than desired.
  • It automates much of the timely process of evidence collation.
  • It's continuous monitoring capabilities are fantastic.
  • Vanta connects seamlessly to your cloud infra, source code repo, issue tracker, etc.
  • We had an one year deadline but was able to complete the SOC2 process in around 5 months.
  • Reduced our overall cost in engineering and auditing by at least 60%.
  • Having written, standardised, and more secure internal processes have boosted morale and effectiveness in our company.
Osano and Vanta both meet our requirements at a comparable rate. When comparing quality of ongoing product support, we felt that Vanta is the preferred option. For feature updates and roadmaps, we preferred the direction of Osano over Vanta.

Vanta provides a lot of actionable tasks to make our system more secure and reliable. It is easy to connect to our services and ingest the signals that create the tasks. The monitoring part also helps by sending a daily digest of new issues the team needs to work on.

The risk management does not take all of the BAU risks of an organisation into account, instead only providing valid output against technical controls or some policy controls.
