What do you dislike about Apptega?

The current user interface of Apptega feels outdated, occasionally impacting the speed of our operations. Fortunately, we have been able to preview the planned updates, and the upcoming UI improvements are promising. We are optimistic about the new design, which looks to modernize and enhance user experience significantly. Additionally, the team at Apptega is always responsive to feedback, consistently working to incorporate new features and tailor solutions for specific client challenges, which significantly boosts our confidence in their commitment to continuous improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega is solving significant challenges in Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) by offering a unified platform that simplifies these complex processes. It enables us to manage GRC activities from one place, reducing the need for multiple tools, which streamlines our workflows and ensures consistency across projects.

What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega has made it easy to streamline my clients' security programs and communicate their posture in near real time. As an advisor and consultant, I am tasked with gathering information and making it useful for my clients. Apptega provides an interface for collecting information and comments, documenting risk, and managing tasks in relation to their specific controls. It saves me a great deal of time that was previously spent sifting through multiple file shares to create reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

I would like to see a marketplace or some kind of information regarding providers that can remediate specific controls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega centralizes information relevant to different teams with different initiatives. By creating roles within the system, I no longer need to over-provide information to the technical teams or to the executives. I can easily set my tenants up to provide least privilege access and still communicate posture effectively to disparate teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apptega?

The simplisity of the product. It simply works. The ease of implementation was a key to UtliSat's decision to use Apptega; and Apptega did not disappoint in this area. It does not take days or weeks of training to begin using. It has flexibility in capabilities to allow for larger companies to utilize features found in the much more expensive competitors. The customer support and willingness to add features or do ad hoc training has been second to NONE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Nothing that I can generally think of. The product and the team have been supportive. We plan to utilize more functionality in the next year. Great team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega is solving our compliance, risk management, and supply chain risk management efforts. As we mature, we will continue to use additional features. Apptega has an open door policy to talk with the company to share our needs and desires to add and improve their product to make it more competitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apptega?

What I like best about Apptega is its ease of use and affordability, making it the perfect GRC solution for our small team. The dedicated onboarding team has been incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process, especially as newcomers to GRC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

During our first year with Apptega, we encountered some bugs and noticed it lacked a few frameworks we needed. However, the platform has improved significantly, and we're now very pleased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega helped us move away from managing risks on spreadsheets and streamlined our reporting process. It allows us to create detailed reports for our team and senior leadership, providing a clear view of our current security posture. This has been crucial in justifying the need for additional security measures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega has been a reliable resource for information, news, events and blog entries for relevant topics in the world of governance, risk, compliance, vendor management and other related topics that appeal to any cybersecurity professional that focuses on those areas within their organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

For some small-to-medium size organizations that have limited critical vendors and less compliance or regulatory requirements, certifications, or external audits on an annual basis, the platform has more options than can be fully utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping our compliance team aware of ongoing events, news, issues and topics within the world of governance, risk, compliance, audits, third party risk and other areas of focus allow us to keep ahead of trends and plan accordingly to what fits our organization.

What do you like best about Apptega?

For smaller organizations/companies, you can't beat the price of Apptega's base, intermediate, and premium products. I searched far and wide for a GRC platform to sell to our clients and I almost choked when I finally got to a price quote.

The feature list is impressive

- Risk Management

- Assessment Creation -- all major frameworks are supported

- Report Output in Multiple Formats

- Security Program Governance

- Vendor Risk Management

- Audit Management

- Temporary Access for Auditors

- Task Management

- Budget Management

- Much, much more

Our organization implemented SSO access, and I was astounded at how easy the implementation went. I expected a lot more back and forth.

I've loved working with our Client Success Manager. I don't know how many clients he has, but he makes it seem like we're his only client. We can usually get a meeting with him in a couple days time.

To sum up, our organization is very happy with Apptega. We'll likely be a partner for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

The pricing model -- price points based on the number of employees -- makes it difficult to sell this to clients at times. Some companies have thousands of employees that don't use any tech, which means they won't have any need of governance. However, those employees still factor into the price. While this is the industry standard for platform pricing, convincing a client that has GRC team of less than five people that their platform will cost >$20k is a hard sell. Luckily, Apptega works with us to lower pricing in those scenarios.

The product is less mature than other solutions I've seen. This means documentation isn't as robust and enhancements aren't as refined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega gets our consultants out of spreadsheet hell and into a modern GRC management platform. It significantly reduces the amount of time we spend managing our clients' security programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apptega?

The Apptega platform is easy to navigate and understand, but also highly functional. Its very easy to spin up an instance for my customers when we condcut assessments or enroll them in our vCISO services. It allows us to manage more customers with its automated features and I love the depth of reporting and numerous frameworks that they support. The best thing about working with Apptega has been their team. From the sales team to customer success, product team, and even executive leadership, they have been fantastic to work with. They actively solicit and integrate partner suggestions to improve the platform and have gone out of their way to make us successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

The only down side we have come across is that some of our very largest enterprise customers are too complicated for the platform. But thats ok, that not who we are targeting with this solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega helps customers get out of the Excel Hell that is GRC. From an MSSP perspective, it helps us by creating reusable processes, even allowing us to leverage our own intelectual property around risk while we do it. By making processes repeatable and reportable, we can support more customers at once for less cost. It also allows us to offer more services, including vendor risk management, risk assessment, risk register, controls calendar, task management and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega is intuitive to use-- i was able to get my multiple security frameworks setup with minimal time required. My favorite thing is the constant innovation we see going on. I've submitted multiple feature requests since the product was released and the Apptega team has been diligent with their word and communication around these requests. They've also done good work to build a community around their tool-- where folks can discuss the tool and how best to use it, and anything else related to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Sometimes we come across bugs in the web app. These bugs may be resolved in days to weeks, depending on the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega allows us to manage our vendor questionnaires, sending them out to our supply chain with follow ups/etc. We manage Risk with Apptega as well, developing multiple risk registrars. The reason we got Apptega in the first place was for it's Security Compliance and Audit Management features to help us with our CMMC certification process. The Security Compliane is top notch, and the Audit Management has come a long way. We're able to generate good reports based off the data we put in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega has plenty of out of the box regulatory compliance content for NIST, ISO, PCI-DSS. We can do assessments to identify where we stand and also identify the gaps we need to meet to achieve a specific regulatory compliance. It is easy to use and not very complex which is the upside of Apptega. We are up and running on the day one in terms of implementation so great tool. It is one of our day to day use tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Nothing specific to mention at this point. It looks like a new team took over this organization and improving the tools to satisfy all our needs and going in the right direction interms of product roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can get rid of spreadsheets as the platform is the one stop solution for every compliance need. Upload all compliance related documents, evidences etc to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apptega?

The tool is easy to use and all controls have an explanation for our clients to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

I don't like that I have to scroll all the way down to click save. I know there is a save button on each control section but that still requires me to scroll to the bottom of the control to go save it. Sometimes I present a risk assessment live and go through it with a client and all the scrolling up and down is just a slitgh inconvenience. I also would love to be able to see the control number nect to each section. For example in the CMMC assessment, you have to expand the entire category to see the control number. It would be really helpful just to see the control number right next to the each section so that you don't have to click each drop down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega is a huge help for Ascend in that we do not have to go dig for the most updated version of a risk assessment and we don't have to manually create a powerpoint to present our findings- we can automatically export it. It also works as a repository of all things security for some of our clients when we enable the Require evidence option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
