"Invisible Enforcer: The AppArmor Edge in Our DevOps for IT industry"
What do you like best about AppArmor?

What I appreciate most about AppArmor is its 'set it and shield it' philosophy — once a profile is in place, it quietly and reliably protects without constant babysitting. Its path-based enforcement feels intuitive, and the clarity in logs makes troubleshooting precise. In a world of noisy security tools, AppArmor is the silent sentinel that just works

It good for beginners to all level professional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppArmor?

For me

AppArmor’s path-based rules can be rigid in dynamic setups, making profile upkeep a bit tedious. It’s powerful, but not always plug-and-play Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convoluted applications might call for configurations"
What do you like best about AppArmor?

I found it especially useful when dealing with Web servers as I was able to filter access from the Web server to other parts of the system.This focused approach helps reduce the risk if a given program was to meet an exploit and would thus contain the possible fallout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppArmor?

I faced the challenge of creating a profile for a media editing software that needed to interact with other system folders to work. The choice of pre-configured profiles was not very diverse and the ability to set fine-grained permissions seemed cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product that just keeps getting better and better"
What do you like best about AppArmor?

What i really love about AppArmor is they make it very simple and easy to use. Personally, i enjoy the emergency notification system they have within the app, its very useful and safe. Its a very useful tool especially now with the vaccine passport abilities and all of the useful safety alerts that ping your phone. Thousands of companies trust AppArmor and theres a reason why they do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppArmor?

What i dislike about the app is how it can sometimes be just a little bit difficult to navigate on the platform, but when were having this issue, we contact AppArmors technical support and they help us out within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AppArmor is a fantastic product that keeps getting better and better!"
What do you like best about AppArmor?

What I enjoy best about AppArmor is how user-friendly it is and how easily it allows the user to navigate through the app. The emergency notification mechanism in AppArmor is by far the most useful feature. My management has benefited from the emergency notification systems in resolving a number of difficulties with our software. The documentation may then be used by the corporation to gain broader access to your facilities once they have been approved. Hundreds of businesses around the world have trusted AppArmor to design unique safety apps, emergency notification systems, and corporate command - and - control applications to keep their people safe in a crisis. Vaccine passport abilities, self-screening tools, unlimited mass alerts, and other new AppArmor features can help organizations prepare for global pandemic concerns.

What do you dislike about AppArmor?

What I dislike about AppArmor is how tough it may be to browse the platform at times. When myself or another Administrator encounters problems, we contact AppArmors' tech support, and the problem is always handled in minutes. If you've decided to buy, you won't be concerned with the price if you've made that decision. Because of Firejail's pre-made profile, I have occasionally been unable to access Visual Studio Code.

"Best security"
What do you like best about AppArmor?

While they work differently, both AppArmor and SELinux provide “mandatory access control” (MAC) security. ... With AppArmor, it only has access to things that a PDF viewer needs access to. AppArmor is particularly useful for restricting software that may be exploited, such as a web browser or server software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AppArmor?

AppArmor is a Mandatory Access Control or MAC system. ... Enforce – In the enforce mode, system begins enforcing the rules and report the violation attempts in syslog or auditd (only if auditd is installed) and operation will not be permitted. Complain – In the complain mode, system doesn't enforce any rules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
