Excellent platform for juggling multiple compliances with minimal effort

  • September 05, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The harmonizing of frameworks means answering one thing can check the box in multiple compliances. The shared evidence store saves hundreds of hours and allows updating of evidence one time - so all the places that use it.
Assigning tasks to other staff overcomes one of the primary problems with compliance - getting other departments to help out with their parts.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't read evidence/policies to produce AI-suggested recommendations. The recommendations are based upon training from public analysis of that item in a particular framework. i.e., the recommendation is good but not tuned to your particular organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any single compliance framework is a lot of work to get ready for the audit. When you have multiple compliance requirements or frameworks the management, gathering of evidence, synchronizing changes becomes exponentially more difficult. This keeps everything in sync, and under control saving many hours of work and worry.

Control numbers in the categories and a floating Save button

  • September 05, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The tool is easy to use and all controls have an explanation for our clients to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.

There is nothing about Apptega to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows us to round out our vCISO offering.

Apptega - finally some automation in a GRC tool

  • June 06, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are an MSP that conducts assessments for several of our clients. For most GRCs, you have to start over completely for each assessment. Apptega automates this process a great deal. You can load the products you use, evidence, and answers to assessment questions. When you create a new assessment these questions are auto-populated with the products used. This saves a TON of time. It also has basic AI for the creation of remediation
What do you dislike about the product?
None I can think of at this time. Sometimes, it can be confusing when starting a new assessment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation of the assessments. Great "help" section to explain each question.

Apptega: A GRC product that looks clean, but has some unpleasant design features

  • April 13, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love how Apptega has many frameworks to choose from and the interface is relatively easy to traverse around. The dashboards are pretty and helps executives understand what the main goal is and where they currently are. Apptega is a great starting our GRC platform for people getting into regulatory compliance. I also love how Appteg covers the main aspects of a GRC platform such as control fmailes, sub-controls, templated policies (which I will get into later), a risk platform (internal and third-party), reporting, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the downsides about apptega are the backend functionality and how the platform works. I experience many bugs within the platform constantly (dublication of notes fields, frameworks having the incorrect sub-controls and "show more fields", rescoring of sub-controls after they've been scored, cross-walks messing up, etc.) . The downside of Apptega is the backend. Also I would like to harp on the cross-walking. Sometimes (most of the time) when I do the cross walking capability and then look into the new framework that I cross walked, all the documents within the platform get inserted to the sub-controls rather than the applicable documents to the sub-control. It seems as if someone just said "the cross walk seems compliacated, might as well just put all the documents into the sub-controls and they can then choose which ones they want to keep. For a use case example, there would be a screenshot of security awareness training under a sub-control that asks for showing a firewall or anti-virus. These have no relation to each other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apptega is solving the whole regulatory compliance issue with many of our clients. They get to see what the requirements are and then it benefits me by going into the sub-control and being the expert on the framework by explaining what the requirements are within the framework / sub-control.

No Compliance Worries

  • April 12, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I can easily see where I'm at in the compliance journey--there are no questions about whether requirements are met or not--I have access to requirement language and recommendations. Automation features are timesavers! I have all the resources, tools, and reports I need to build and maintain the company compliance record. I can manage policies and plans in a controlled environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The old CMMC framework module is time consuming because it requires opening each, individual sub-control to set status. The new version, which was recently demonstrated to me, is much better and will hopefully be published soon. We look forward to the data entry time savings!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform creates an integrated envioronment for building and maintaining a cyber security compliance program. It makes managing the tasks easy for administrative, and non-technical people. Reporting is geared toward management--business decision makers who need to report on compliance, budget for compliance initiatives, and support policy implementation.

Great for tracking client compliance

  • April 12, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is a great centralized platform for tracking security program management efforts for our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
For clients with extremely simple needs, it can be a little overwhelming to navigate the platform - there are a lot of features, but not everyone needs everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can manage security controls and reference them for audits. Centralized management of vendor questionnaires is a plus.

AppTega is a game changer when it comes to Assessments and Audits

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
AppTega gives you a place to store everything in one place making audits go from months to weeks. It gives you the ability to assess against a framework with tips and reccomendations as well as a place to assign risks. The 3rd Party Risk manager solves another problem with having 3rd party risks built into the platform. This is a GRC program that doen't break the bank or need a team of experts just to run.
What do you dislike about the product?
Frameworks are updated quickly but not instantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GRC solutions are expensive and only enterprise level companies can afford them. AppTega provides a solution to the mid sized organizations. It replaces Excel assessments and report writing it turns assessments into operational tasks. It handles Risk assessment, 3rd party risk management and makes audits a breeze. It gives your security program visability and measurement to executives and task owners. We use it as the backbone of our vCISO business.

Fantastic Tool

  • April 09, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Compliancy can be complicated and gruling. Apptega is a fantastic tool for navigating the complications, managing the project, and ensuring proper follow up. Utilizing Apptega has allowed us to move through the process more efficiently and thuroughly.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are still learning the platform but, so far, we have found nothing to complain about.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are leveling up our internal compliance by seeking SOC 2 type 2. On the surface, it is a daunting task. With Apptega however, we have a step-by-step guide and a built in project manager. Our staff meets weekly to go over a module and assign tasks. The next week we ensure task follow up and move to the next module. Our Apptega account rep and others are available to assist if we encounter road blocks or need guidance on a topic. When we reach the audit phase, Apptega's portal will be instrumental in providing auditors access to the necessary information without back and forth communications further streamlining the process and providing effeciency.

Apptega is solving the issue of time usage for our third-party clients
