Aptible Deploy is an environment and application deployment PaaS that increases the efficiency of provisioning, log generation, and monitoring integration. It also provides activity reports for each environment and automatic vulnerability scanning for most OS packages of Linux distribution. The scanning also extends to compliance situations such as HIPAA and HITRUST. Overall, I would highly recommend this product for those in the health application development space that need a streamlined option for efficient provisioning and operational support.
  • Environment and application provisioning
  • Database instantiation and activity tracking
  • Security compliance
  • Vulnerability Reporting
  • An alternate set of documentation for Windows
  • Better troubleshooting instructions for Windows
I would recommend Aptible Deploy to my colleagues because of its responsiveness and efficiency for environment and application provisioning. The product is extremely useful for creating health applications due to its built-in security and compliance protocols for HIPAA and HITRUST. The automated database backups were also a nice touch for failover scenarios, as is the included horizontal scaling. The horizontal scaling automatically defaults toward high availability as well.
  • Fast database provisioning
  • Ease of setup for log and metric drains
  • Simplicity of the Aptible CLI
  • Excellent Documentation
  • Dedicated Support Team
  • Decreased setup time
  • Simplified integrations
  • Compliance Reporting
  • IBM Cloud Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
From my experience with the Virtual Private Cloud, Aptible Deploy is easier to work with from both a visual and command standpoint. There is much better documentation, and the product is more intuitive. Log setup is also easier for LogDNA and NewRelic integrations. I do believe the IBM Cloud toolchain service still allows for more customizability, but that comes at the cost of simplicity and ease of use. It is also a significant positive for Aptible Deploy that compliance is constantly monitored, with clearly included guidelines on how to meet the respective protocols.

Aptible Deploy is an excellent product that helps you meet deployment requirements for small to large applications. Aptible Deploy makes it easy to implement industry best practices for application deployment security, auditing, and configuration management. The simplicity of use and infrastructure clarity and audibility will make me likely to use this product in the future for proof of concept application deployments, as well as production application deployments. Decreasing the friction associated with deployment best practices will enable businesses and developers to have faster iteration times, allowing them to focus on finding product-market fit more quickly.
  • Security by Default
  • Integrated Vulnerability Scans
  • Excellent Documentation
  • Intuitive CLI
  • Transparent Billing
  • Scalability
  • Implement password-less CLI Auth flow
  • Implement Single button full application tear down
  • Provide demo application code for a wider array of technologies, frameworks
  • Provide ability to deploy into existing network constraints of large organization
Would use this product from proof of concept all the way to production at scale. Aptible Deploy will allow users to iterate more quickly on their applications or software product deployments, this will enable faster product creation, and does outsource and automate significant DevOps expertise. For a small organization or startup, this will drive a huge advantage towards being product or customer-focused. For a large organization, this could outsource a lot of resource allocation for just a simple web application that needs to have tight security requirements that are auditable.
  • Security
  • Ease of Use
  • Configurable
  • Will use and recommend for application deployments in the future
Aptible Deploy excels over Heroku in its emphasis on security for healthcare institutions with higher compliance requirements. Aptible Deploy would allow for a full-service deployment without having to outsource parts of security or compliance to another platform, enabling a more streamlined user experience.

Aptible helps the Reliability engineers view the security of containers and applications before Security Engineers/Analysts can review them.
  • Provides insight to container security
  • Provides insight to application security
  • Shows your compliance and security score
  • Gives you information on updates or changes you can make to improve security
  • Gives you information on changes you can aid in meeting compliance requirements
  • The initial setup process needs a lot of work especially with git permissions
  • The documentation should be easy to read and find information
Aptible Deploy works excellent for organizations that use Containers (especially Docker) and write business-critical applications and have to meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA/HITRUST, and SOC 2 (basically the health care industry). It provides visibility into security and best practices for the containers and applications under discussion. It also provides recommendations on infrastructure and application setup, IAM controls, and more. As a security engineer, it is advisable to use a tool like Aptible Deploy as it reduces the workload of time spent in security analysis while boosting your SAST/IAST report. Like every other product, none is perfect. Aptible Deploy comes with its flaws when deploying your first application. I had a lot of permission denied errors and some issues associated with using git for Windows.
  • Security
  • Compliance component (HITRUST)
  • Reduce workload for security analysts
  • Improved visibility for container and application security
  • Improved security knowledge on areas for improvement in the infrastructure setup
I've not used another tool. This is my first tool, except for ELK and Splunk. It's nothing like those so I really can't compare. ELK and Splunk are visibility tools that help you analyze data. Aptible Deploy is different from those, it's specific to showing you areas to work on for security and compliance in your containers and applications.

Given that our company's mission is working with higher education institutions, HITRUST is of particular importance. Aptible is especially useful in circumstances when apps need to be HIPAA and HITRUST compliant. Aptible ensures proper security controls are in place at the infrastructure level and saves time and money during the implementation and auditing process.
  • Faster time to market
  • Fewer IT staff
  • Streamlined cloud services
  • More secure and robust applications
  • Higher cloud cost (though arguably lower overall cost)
  • Reliance on AWS (inability to choose another cloud provider)
I would definitely recommend Aptible to others who are looking for simple HITRUST / HIPPA compliance and cloud management. Why? Aptible provides the proper building blocks for ensuring applications remain compliant at the infrastructure level, going beyond the measures of most HIPAA-compliant cloud providers. The time and expense of implementing these measures alone are usually very costly, and Aptible makes the process much simpler.
  • HIPAA compliance
  • HITRUST compliance
  • Automated cloud management tools
  • More secure cloud service
  • Positive ROI
  • Less time managing compliance issues
Aptible makes managing HIPAA/HITRUST compliance simpler when compared to Microsoft Azure. Passing audits is technically easier when using Aptible. Aptible provides a log drain to deliver logs via Syslog or HTTPS for long-term log storage. Microsoft Azure does not have a portal specifying when controls are in place, something which Aptible does.

Aptible is a very easy and secure way to deploy applications without having to mess with docker/AWS/GCP. It seems to have everything already built-in. You can deploy an application from a source within a few minutes, and the CLI is easy to use.
  • Automated deployments from start to finish
  • Load balancing
  • Performance
  • Private apps for organizations
  • Customizable firewall and DDoS protection
Aptible Deploy may be less appropriate for internal applications. I have not found a way to block traffic or specifically restrict application usage to an IP or location. The platform works well for testing automated deployments, even if they won't be hosted with Aptible Deploy. It's most appropriate for app developers that need a demo platform.
  • Automation
  • Security
  • Performance
  • Less time in configuring servers. This is essentially a server-less platform.
  • Cost savings by using usage-based cloud
  • CLI can be scripted to provide full automation, even though a deployment takes about 20 minutes; that time can be even further reduced and spent elsewhere
While I haven't used many platforms for app deployment, I've worked with development teams and implemented both Bamboo and AWS CodeDeploy to automate deployments. Both had a high learning curve that made it difficult to get teams on board.
