How to earn a free AppSecEngineer subscription

AppSecEngineer is trusted by security teams worldwide for hands-on and scenario-based training. Now, you can unlock a free subscription simply by sharing your honest experience on two major review platforms: G2 and Gartner Peer Insights. These platforms are where security leaders turn when evaluating solutions, and your input makes a real impact.

Here’s how it works: leave a genuine review on both platforms, take a quick screenshot once it’s live, and send it to us. That’s it! You’ll receive full access to AppSecEngineer’s learning platform at no cost. Your review helps others make informed decisions, and in return, you gain unlimited access to deep-dive security training.

Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to writing your reviews, capturing proof, and redeeming your subscription. We’ve also included FAQs and a checklist to make the process seamless.

Leave a G2 review

1) Create or sign in to your G2 account

If you do not already have a G2 account, register using a corporate email address. A verified profile improves credibility.

2) Find the AppSecEngineer product page on G2

Search for AppSecEngineer on G2 and open the product listing. Confirm the listing matches the product you used. You can also just click here.

3) Start the review flow

Click the button to write a review. G2 guides you through rating dimensions such as ease of use, quality of support, implementation, and ROI.

4) Write an honest, specific review

• Open with context. In one sentence describe who you are and how you used AppSecEngineer. For example: "Security engineer at a 200-person SaaS company, used AppSecEngineer for hands-on appsec training and CTF-style labs for 3 months." This clarifies your perspective.
• List 3 concrete observations. What worked, what needed work, and one improvement suggestion. Example: "Labs were realistic and automated grading saved time. More OWASP Top 10 lab coverage would help." Expanded detail provides useful signals to readers and to the vendor.
• Rate fairly across the required categories. Don’t inflate every score. Explain high or low ratings with brief evidence.

7) Submit and save proof

After publishing, capture a screenshot that clearly shows:

• Your review text or a portion of it
• The publication date
• Your reviewer name or company (as it appears on G2)

Send the screenshot to markops@appsecengineer.com.

Gartner Peer Insights often requires verified use of a product. Create or sign in to your Gartner Peer Insights account using a corporate email address.

2) Locate AppSecEngineer on Gartner Peer Insights

Search for AppSecEngineer and open the product page. Verify you are reviewing the correct entry. You can also just click here.

3) Complete the review questionnaire

Gartner’s form asks for details like deployment type, length of use, and ratings across categories. Answer accurately and include concrete examples where possible.

4) Submit and save proof

After your review is live, screenshot the published review showing:

• Your review text or a visible portion
• Publication date
• Your reviewer name or company

Send the screenshot to markops@appsecengineer.com.
