What the market is saying

Insights from real users frustrated by outdated platforms.

I do not know how to efficiently triage the information I get from Vanta notifications. I get a lot of notifications about failing automated tests in my email and in my Slack. I get 'alarm fatigue' and end up ignoring most of the notifications.

A big problem for me is that all of them use API aggregators for their integrations. Like merge.dev and finch. My current org will not trust these third parties handling customer data.

Vanta's customer support leaves a lot to be desired and does not reflect a company that values its customers. Their limited support often results in clients being referred to a guide or asking an auditor for help, which is counterintuitive.

Vanta's pricing can be a little high for smaller companies and the advanced features seem to have a learning curve. While it integrates with many tools, gaps exist for niche platforms, and the alert system can sometimes overwhelm with minor or false-positive notifications.

Vanta's limitations

Summary

Vanta focuses on automating compliance for frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA, offering fast, streamlined solutions for startups and tech companies aiming for quick audits. However, its scope is more limited to these specific use cases. In contrast, 6clicks provides a broader, AI-powered GRC platform designed for advisory firms, MSPs, and enterprises needing more customization, multi-entity management, and support for a wide range of compliance frameworks. 6clicks’ flexibility, Hub & Spoke architecture, and advanced automation make it more suitable for organizations with complex GRC needs beyond basic compliance.
