"Streamlined Compliance and Cybersecurity Made Effortless with Apptega"
What do you like best about Apptega?

The Apptega platform helps our organizations streamline their ongoing cybersecurity and compliance efforts. It automates and simplifies managing and reporting on these programs, reducing manual work, and allowing teams to more quickly identify and prioritize risks and communicate those to leadership. The ability to manage multiple compliance frameworks like NIST, CMMC, GLBA, etc. and map common controls allows organizations to crosswalk programs and gain a holistic view of compliance status to make strategic and informed decisions.

During compliance assessments and/or security audits, the platform automates evidence collection, reducing the burden on staff, and ensuring that evidence is readily available for audits. Evidence is directly linked to specific controls from NIST 800-171, HIPAA, etc., and can be uploaded to the platform or linked to internal resources like SharePoint. Specific tasks like vulnerability scans or the collection of compliance documentation can be assigned to team members and set up with reminder notifications based on ongoing recurrence or due dates. We are able to eliminate the various spreadsheets we were using before to track compliance programs and tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Because of all of the features/functionality that can be utilized within the Apptega platform, determining how to initially configure and deploy the platform can be a bit daunting. However, the Apptega Customer Success Team is very engaged and is dedicated to helping organizations understand how best to implement the tool. They are a great resource and share strategies based on lessons learned from other organizations, so our organizations can start realizing the value of the platform almost immediately.

"Apptega Is Effective at Improving GRC Capabilities"
What do you like best about Apptega?

What I like best about Apptega is the customer success team that it makes available to me. It is very clear to me that Apptega wants my organization to succeed in using all the bells and whistles that the Apptega GRC tool offers. I have regular interactions with the customer success manager that was assigned to me and I know that each time I reach out with a question I will receive a very quick response. I am very impressed with the professionalism and care that Will, my customer success manager has shown over the past year. On a side note, I also like that each year we track and assess my Apptega goals - this means that the Apptega personnel understand my specific needs and we get to prioritize those features - which helps my organization in accomplishing our roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Initial setup requires proper configuration of SSO & Apptega user roles. Once that is accomplished, the tool is very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elisa Ng of Apptega

Luis, thank you for the great review! We’re so happy to hear that our Customer Success team has been such a strong partner and that the regular check-ins and goal planning have helped keep your GRC program aligned with your roadmap.

We appreciate your feedback on SSO and role setup. Our team is always happy to provide guidance during setup to make sure everything is configured correctly from the start. If you need any additional support, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager - we're happy to help!

"Excellent platform for juggling multiple compliances with minimal effort"
What do you like best about Apptega?

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. The shared resources also apply to the risk register, vendors, and controls.

Assigning tasks to other staff overcomes one of the primary problems with compliance - getting other departments to help out with their parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elisa Ng of Apptega

Alan, thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We love hearing how much value you’re getting from framework harmonization, shared evidence, and centralized resources across controls, risks, and vendors. It’s also great to hear that task assignments and collaboration features are helping bring other departments into the compliance process and saving your team significant time and effort.

We also appreciate your feedback on AI recommendations. We’ve recently made a major upgrade to Apptega’s AI recommendations. They are now generated using the full control language and authoritative framework references, not just the assessment question, and we’ve upgraded the underlying model from ChatGPT-3 to ChatGPT-5.2. As a result, recommendations are now framework-faithful, more prescriptive, and audit-ready, preserving differences between standards like HIPAA, CMMC, and GDPR. While they are still intentionally framework-driven (not generated from customer evidence), the guidance is now detailed enough to stand on its own.

If you would like to learn more, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager - we would love to help!

"Centralized GRC Management Made Easy with Apptega"
What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega is a platform that supports our organization in managing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) activities. It has helped us move away from manual processes like spreadsheets and scattered documents by offering a centralized environment for handling NIST 800-171, CMMC, and other audit requirements. The platform enables us to track risks, collect evidence, and monitor compliance on an ongoing basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

We have been using Apptega for about a year now. The platform is very user-friendly, which made it relatively easy for us to consolidate our compliance efforts. While we have encountered a few technical difficulties—as is common with any technology—Apptega's support team has been outstanding, always addressing our issues promptly. At this time, I don't have any complaints or dislikes to mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elisa Ng of Apptega

Ken, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It’s great to hear that Apptega has helped you move away from spreadsheets and scattered documents and into a more centralized, manageable approach for NIST 800-171, CMMC, and other frameworks.

We’re glad the platform is giving you clear visibility into your compliance posture and making evidence collection and audit preparation easier; that’s exactly what we aim to deliver! We also truly appreciate your kind words about our support team and are happy to hear they’ve been responsive and helpful throughout your journey.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

"Reliable Platform That Elevates Security and Compliance Management"
What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega makes it simple to build and maintain a strong compliance foundation. The user experience is well thought out, with clear guidance that walks us through each requirement. It has been a major time-saver and keeps our team aligned every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Apptega has transformed our processes."
What do you like best about Apptega?

What I like best about Apptega is how it brings all of our cybersecurity and compliance work into one place. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and separate tools, our entire program, including frameworks, controls, assessments, and reporting, lives in a single, easy-to-navigate platform. The most helpful part of Apptega is its ability to streamline project tracking and evidence collection. We can easily assign owners, set timelines, upload supporting documents, and monitor progress from one dashboard. This turns what used to be a scattered, manual process into a clear, auditable workflow that keeps everyone aligned and accountable. The dashboards and scoring tools also make it simple to show leadership where we stand and what gaps need attention. The biggest upsides are time savings, better visibility, and improved collaboration. Apptega gives us a living system of record rather than static documents, so updates and evidence stay current. It also simplifies communication with executives, auditors, and clients by turning complex compliance data into clear, visual reports. Ultimately, it helps us mature our security program faster and with less administrative overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

While Apptega has been a major improvement over manual processes, there are a few areas where it could grow. Some configuration options and workflows can feel rigid at first and require extra time to customize to our exact needs. The reporting and export functions, although useful, could be more flexible and allow for deeper customization to match specific executive or board requirements.

Despite these points, Apptega’s support team is responsive and often incorporates customer feedback into updates, which makes us optimistic about continued improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elisa Ng of Apptega

Daniel, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're so happy to hear how Apptega is helping your team save time, improve collaboration, and give leadership clear visibility into your program. We especially love hearing that Apptega has become your single source of truth for your security posture.

Your suggestions on configuration and reporting are incredibly valuable. Feedback like yours helps us prioritize the improvements that matter most to our customers so do keep sharing! If you haven't yet, please connect with your Customer Success Manager, we'd love to continue the discussion.

"Seamless Compliance and Exceptional Support"
What do you like best about Apptega?

I like how easy Apptega is to use. Everything is pretty seamless, and the support is really good. They're constantly updating the platform with new things, which I appreciate. I really value the assessment platform because it allows you to go through pretty seamlessly and score assessments and generate reports from those assessments. When it comes to the initial setup, despite a few hiccups, the process was very easy, and there were people who joined the call with us that helped get everything squared away pretty quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent GRC Platform for corporates"
What do you like best about Apptega?

The number of available compliance frameworks. Irrespective of the business line you are into, they have wide variety of frameworks included in their platform. Very easy to launch the framework and convert them into program. Their customer support is awesome. It helps us use it every day without any trouble. Since it is cloud based there is no implementation. As soon as you get your credentials, you are good to go. You can also integrate it with your existing cloud platforms to get your compliance visibility immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

The UI can be little updated with modern look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elisa Ng of Apptega

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re so happy to hear that Apptega’s wide range of frameworks, ease of setup, and integrations are helping simplify compliance for your team and that our customer success team has been a reliable partner for you.

Also, we completely agree that having a modern, intuitive UI is key. Earlier this year, we announced a full platform redesign, which we’re rolling out in phases. While only a portion is visible now, you’ll see much more of it in the coming months. And it’s not just a new look: the redesign also brings more powerful functionality to make managing compliance and risk even easier. We’re excited about the value these updates will deliver and can’t wait for you to experience them!
