Touchstone vs. Vanta

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.

• Integrations with source control and infrastructure providers.
• Guidance around what makes a company's policy secure.
• Portals that supply our auditors with everything they need to write their reports.

• 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.

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.

• In my experience, they aren't really helpful after all. They ended causing more problems when documents went missing on our trust page. They caused us some embarrassment when we referred people to a mostly empty page.
• They are now attempting to, in my opinion, force us to renew service.
