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.

As head of IT, It gives me a piece of mind when I know that only the right users get proper access to the system's DB at the right time; with Apono I don't need to worry about managing DB privileges since Apono makes sure that the key is automatically revoked upon duration completion.

What do you dislike about the product?

The onboarding experience can be improved, it took me a while to connect, and with a quite cranky UI was not clear what went wrong; I had to get Apono Customer support to learn that the IAM configuration template provided by AWS UI Console was not acceaptable by Apono but there was no error message which would indicate that and help me to solve the problem for myself.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

DB privileges management.
We have an on-call routine where different operators need to run queries and execution on PostgreSQL; It's crucial that they would not hold their DB password for an extended period, and their privileges will reduce when the on-call ends.
