Apptega Reviews & Product Details

I love how Apptega has many frameworks to choose from and the interface is relatively easy to traverse around. The dashboards are pretty and help executives understand what the main goal is and where they currently are. Apptega is a great starting GRC platform for people getting into regulatory compliance. I also love how Apptega covers the main aspects of a GRC platform such as control families, sub-controls, templated policies (which I will get into later), a risk platform (internal and third-party), reporting, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the downsides about Apptega are the backend functionality and how the platform works. I experience many bugs within the platform constantly (duplication 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 into the sub-controls rather than the applicable documents to the sub-control. It seems as if someone just said "the cross-walk seems complicated, 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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The % meters are confusing to clients and not consistent from the different views. Clients do not know what the calculations mean or how it is derived. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apptega is very simple to use. When I've run into a problem I was able to reach out and receive support in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I update a control set I have to manually update each slider on each subcontrol and wait while the system saves meaning a task that should take a few seconds takes me several minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
