I use Apono for database access control and appreciate the granular user permission controls it provides, especially for our workgroup servers. The ability to manage users through Active Directory is a significant advantage. I like their extensive API, which allows us to automate our configuration within Apono, making it very hands-off. This automation, through scripting, ensures that as we add, remove, or relocate databases, changes flow into Apono automatically. Our users prefer it over our previous method of accessing databases. The initial setup of Apono was very easy, and the Apono team was very helpful.

I really appreciate how the Slack app for Apono makes submitting and reviewing access requests so easy. It's also beneficial that there are capabilities for Apono admins to highlight suspicious access requests and reduce the attack surface. Instead of moving to the Apono web app for every request, I find it convenient to interact directly with Apono in Slack. The initial setup of Apono for our team was very easy.

I like that Apono has a very friendly graphical user interface. It's easy to use, and you don't need to have a ton of experience to navigate it. You can just kind of go in there, start clicking around, and figure it out pretty quickly. Our customer success manager has been great, and overall, I feel that Apono is a great product.
