Ops Manager

The pricing was too high and we still had to handle auditor ourselves which we were not vvery fond of doing.

IT Manager

I LOVE how Vanta makes it easier to stay compliant with various compliance and security standards.

QA Engineer

It saves a ton of time when dealing with compliance and security tasks, especially compared to doing everything manually.

Managing Director

The dashboard and easy progress bar indicating where work is still needed guides you through everything you need to know and achieve.

Vanta really takes the stress out of managing compliance and security by automating so much of the work.

Director of Operations

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

It also makes extending compliance to other areas really straightforward too.

Also, some integrations could work smoother, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

It makes what would be a really difficult and laborious task into something that is easy to manage and maintain.

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.

Vanta is great at providing clients with a step-by-step guide on compliance.

Also, they make very difficult to reach them when you have a problem.

Co-founder

The training videos for employees are cheesy, but I don't think there's any way around that :)

In the past we navigated our HIPAA compliance on our own.

Software is intuitive, the policies alone are worth the cost, and I'm impressed by how Vanta continually expands coverage and functionality.

Onboarding was straightforward and the continuous monitoring ensures ongoing compliance.

Could use more integrations. Once you go off the beaten path, you're fully on your own.

Dataguard are really helping us to ensure we have all our Data Protection ducks in a row, and they are so much better at keeping up with legislation than we could ever be

Business Operations Lead

The interface is buggy - sometimes I get it in German and I need to hit a hard refresh to be able to go back to English.

Mortgage Advisor

I found it challenging to log in at the beginning and needed the assistance of customer support.
