Effectively reduces spam and malicious emails with reliable detection capabilities

It would be helpful to make it easier for end users to filter and see items in the quarantine within the Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform. As an admin, I believe it would be sensible if end users could also see the quarantine folder in the Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform so they can create their own rules. The reports are all predefined, and I cannot create custom reports, so I am not fully satisfied with their visibility. I would appreciate the ability to generate my own reports.

Compliance workflows have become organized and automation supports ongoing healthcare audits

There are always tons of rooms for improvement for Vanta. I kind of exaggerated a little bit about the policy control. I don't really love the way they handle the revision management of that feature. If I'm on V1 of the policy document and I make some changes to it, then I get rid of V1 and then I re-upload V2. It's not that it keeps a running history of each of the different revisions. A little bit of an issue with that, but workable. I don't really have any negative complaint right now that would be worthwhile expressing. It's just that there's a lot of features. The UI is not super intuitive, but now that I've worked with it for a couple of years, I know how to navigate and get around. Initially, it was a little bit of a struggle understanding how these things would all work.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Our experience with the platform has been positive as it has maintained consistent control over spam and malware threats."

"After implementing those changes with Vanta, we tracked specific outcomes and metrics and improved compliance scores, which we can see in Vanta."

"Vanta has positively impacted my organization by streamlining the whole HITRUST R2 assessment process."

"Task management and vendor assurance are the most valuable features. It is also an easy tool to use."

"Vanta provides a necessary repository that any compliance expert will look at and recognize right away."

"Vanta has positively impacted my organization by streamlining the whole HITRUST R2 assessment process."

More Vanta pros

Cons

"The Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance Platform does not provide features that help reduce manual efforts, so additional human resources are still required to manage security."

"There are connection problems about 50% of the time because of the automated evidence collection."

"Some of the tool's automated tests do not work the way it should."

"I would tell others looking into using Vanta to use it for HITRUST E1 and I1 assessments, as the R2 assessments are still a work in progress."

"They have an AI generator for the system description for SOC 2, however, the outline is a little sketchy."

"Failed tests for device CVEs seem to be cumulative, meaning I have to clear all CVEs before the test will pass, which makes it difficult to resolve the test before the next round of CVEs are published."

"Currently, Vanta's user access review module is still in development, and we've been giving them continuous feedback to help them improve that."

"I would tell others looking into using Vanta to use it for HITRUST E1 and I1 assessments, as the R2 assessments are still a work in progress."

"The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate."
