A robust solution that establishes rules, policies, and procedures
The solution is used in Life Cycle Data Management where it can be stored in cheaper storage options like Amazon and OpenShift. It has helped with data retention It is robust solution.  SAP should come up with specialized services as per their customer's requirements. I have experience with SAP…

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

"The new workflow engine is based on the web app rather than the Java-based approach."
"It is robust solution."
"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."
"It helps us track the compliance of the components listed in our partner's directory. We can also check if the password manager, XML, and three log policies have been properly implemented on the desktop."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta would be the time savings from the automation and the continuous compliance monitoring once set up."
"The most valuable feature of Vanta is its prebuilt control frameworks."
"After implementing those changes with Vanta, we tracked specific outcomes and metrics and improved compliance scores, which we can see in Vanta."
"Vanta's integrations and automated tests have streamlined our SOC 2 compliance and provided a single entry point for addressing risks and failed tests."
"The product has provided automated security controls for our cloud provider. It helps to automate security checks. Vanta offers a list of things that can be done to achieve ISO 27001 compliance."
 

Cons

"SAP should come up with specialized services as per their customer's requirements."
"I would like to see harmonizing with some of the external third-party products so that it will all be within SAP."
"There is a delay with customer support and they are unsure of the answers we need."
"Some of the tool's automated tests do not work the way it should."
"There are connection problems about 50% of the time because of the automated evidence collection."
"Currently, Vanta's user access review module is still in development, and we've been giving them continuous feedback to help them improve that."
"The main area for improvement in Vanta is the user interface's refresh rate."
"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."
"They have an AI generator for the system description for SOC 2, however, the outline is a little sketchy."
"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."
