Apptega Reviews

Apptega's team is extremely supportive in our compliance goals and much feedback is taken into consideration when using the product. The Risk Rating system allows for us to take a risk based approach to our compliance program. The task system works great, and the reporting is very robust.

Would be nice to have integrations with some of our other tools to help streamline workflow, such as JIRA.

This product is probably one of the most satisfying investments we've made in our cybersecurity program. It has enabled us to effectively track risk and compliance via industry standard frameworks (NIST CSF, PCI DSS, CIS v7, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and more). New features to the platform such as cross-framework mapping allow you to start with a smaller framework and grow into something much larger while...

The only con I can say is that Apptega is still a young company so the product has a little maturing to do (partial SSO currently, open API not available yet, more flexible reporting/visualization, audit trails), but they have a roadmap, are willing to share it, take customer requests, and release features at a steady pace. So the con would be that it doesn't compete with the big players, but I think that's also a benefit because it isn't loaded with fluff or features that you'll never use, and they are an agile company so feature requests get implements fairly quickly.

It’s a great tool to help move clients away from paper based tools

There are little bugs here and there but support has been eager to help when presented with issues

easy to use; web based cloud application; many security frameworks supported; creates reports for you; makes managing all the security controls of a framework easy

I have not found anything yet that I dislike about this software

How easy it is to use. I've fallen under compliance at past companies, and almost everything we did was spreadsheeet, collaboration tools, email, etc. With Apptega, I have everything under one umbrella, and it's simple to design your security framework with what they have available for you. With my current company, we don't fall under compliance for anything, but with Apptega, we are able to build a custom framework and include whatever parts we want from other security frameworks and build something custom for us. Now, we have one place to go for both the security team, auditors, IT, and our board/C-suite. In addition, I was told that API's were being developed to take in things automatically (e.g. Tenable Nessus reports). This product is just simple and easy to use.

That there isn't automation or API's to pull in findings from other vendors (e.g. firewall logs, Nessus, SIEM, etc.) I also think some of the collaboration pieces could use some tweaking, but I think that'll come as time goes by.

Rimidi is a health IT company and has to comply with HIPAA and other security measures. Apptega has helped us identify and meet our regulatory requirements as well as streamlined our ongoing monitoring and review. Apptega's customer support has been very responsive in helping us get set up and answering any questions.

I still haven't figured out what the best work flow is on documenting ongoing compliance activities like noting that our daily malware scans are clean. I've talked to Apptega about this and they have said they will work through the issues with me so that we capture all of the ongoing reviews in a way that doesn't take too much time.

Apptega keeps me focused on what I need to do to keep compliant. It allows me to set up tasks and reminders to I can keep current.

I don't really have any cons so far. The app is worth every penny.

Its ease of use and versatility. Multiple frameworks.

It needs more features faster and I would like to see the data entries once added not be editable in the notes section. Features wanted include an auditor section for grading. This will help with the Service Provider review or Compliance Auditor validation. The ability to combine frameworks and separate while maintaining scoring.

I've found Apptega provides intuitive ability to understand requirements, then document, manage and track compliance progress. I like the dashboard and reporting capability, as well as the wide range of frameworks available. I think the Apptega team has performed as promised, for example providing rapid, actionable advice via the 'Ask an Expert' feature. They rolled out new features in a timely fashion as well: policy templates, cross-framework mapping , and risk rating being the most useful to me.

So far, I only perceive opportunities to improve, no glaring gaps.

It has assisted us in reminding us about our scheduled tasks for our ISO 27001 responsibilities. It sends an email to our ticket system which puts it on our radar.

A little confusing at first during the set up. Clunky and not knowing where to go. It all worked out though and everything seems to be going great

The tool interface doesn't overwhelm the user. Many compliance standards available at your fingertips. Easy to integrate as shaping up your security program goes. Various useful visualization features. Very approachable and responsive customer support.

Upcoming feature availability could be faster. Auto save feature could be helpful too.

This software provides a very easy solution for organizing compliance policies and has been a great addition to our compliance program.

I have encountered an off and on issue with the calendar feature, but have been informed that the development team is looking into a solution.

The customer service with this software is unbeatable. I feel like they are an extension of my team ready to help with any questions I have. They have been more than accommodating with the implementation process and are continuously adding new features to meet our requirements.

There is a little bit of a learning curve, but the customer service to help is more than enough to make up for it.

Dashboards showing progress toward compliance (numerical scoring) Ability to include detail regarding different compliance policy attributes Ability to collapse overlapping policies for simplicity of reporting

A little confusing at first since there are a lot of bells and whistles, but it is pretty easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. Very feature rich!

Easy to use and simple to get started Provides so much and simple to understand detail Makes it easy to get started and design a security program Allows ability to harmonize similarities between various security frameworks

There is a lot of detail to walk thru Still a lot of features promised not yet delivered Reporting is still needing some work

We can finally understand _where_ we are in the compliance process against multiple standards.

You still have to do the work and get your security / compliance house in order.

The tool is very easy to use and anyone in our company can get up to speed quickly.

The notes field does not expand, timestamps, left nav bar text is too light, difficult to read.

Clean and professional web application on the cloud making it easy to collaborate with the team and third party vendors.

Nothing major at this time, maybe present the different scoring methods (cobit vs simple) as a splash screen or getting started discussion topic and then lock in the decision so all team members know what method is being used?

That it cleanly lays out the requirements to execute against.

The flow/layout isn't "first glance" intuitive to navigate.
