Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

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.

Aptible Deploy makes HIPAA/HITRUST compliance and infrastructure management simpler

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

  • Faster time to market
  • Fewer IT staff
  • Streamlined cloud services
  • More secure and robust applications

Cons

  • Higher cloud cost (though arguably lower overall cost)
  • Reliance on AWS (inability to choose another cloud provider)

Most Important Features

  • HIPAA compliance
  • HITRUST compliance
  • Automated cloud management tools

Return on Investment

  • More secure cloud service
  • Positive ROI
  • Less time managing compliance issues

I used Aptible to run a relatively simple application but involved several different services. It's a straightforward setup, and the automatic compliance features make it very easy to focus on the product sold rather than dealing with undifferentiated work like meeting compliance requirements.

Pros

  • Easy setup
  • Compliance built-in
  • Runs reliably

Cons

  • Documentation
  • Managing running applications

Most Important Features

  • Easy compliance
  • Quick setup

Return on Investment

  • Higher velocity on new features
  • Easy management

Great Product to Achieve SOC 2 and HIPPA Compliance on Day 1!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Aptible Deploy as part of a proof of concept, and I have to say that it is a great platform. It solves issues when dealing with SOC and HIPAA compliances when deploying your own infrastructure. If you were to deploy your resources on AWS, you'd have to integrate third-party resources to constantly audit your environment for compliance standards. With Aptible Deploy, achieving SOC 2 or HIPAA compliance is just a button click away. It's fantastic.

Pros

  • Easy provisioning of your infrastructure
  • Achieving SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance can be done with just a few clicks
  • Great documentation
  • Built in compliance dashboard

Cons

  • Marketplace to integrate different external vendors

Most Important Features

  • Automated compliance
  • Ease of deployment

Return on Investment

  • Makes achieving compliance a breeze
