(Original )Information
What do you like best about Approov?

Approov has been an invaluable addition to our mobile security stack at PrevailHQ.

It is cross platform so it offers solutions for both Android and iOS. You can piecemeal create a solution for Android. But you still have iOS to figure out. One single solution for all mobile is huge.

Being able to ensure only genuine, untampered apps can communicate with our servers is great piece of mind.

Our first mobile Pen Test after implementing Approov was passed with flying colors. The security team was quite impressed with how the server stopped communicating with a rooted device. When testing against MITM, they were impressed that the client stopped communicating with the server.

Integration is easy and straightforward. The documentation is clear, and the support team is incredibly responsive. Several times I had someone from Approov walk me through specific code samples and configuration changes. Within days, we had Approov up and running.

When we've had issues with certificates or production issues, Approov was very quick to respond and very helpful. Above and beyond what I would expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Approov?

There has been no issues with Approov. At all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Approov solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ensuring that connections made to our servers are by known clients that we created. Ensuring that those clients are not modified to do something evil. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Approov Overview

What is Approov?

Approov is considered a cornerstone of mobile application security for leading global organizations whose consumer and B2B applications are used by millions annually, including eCommerce, financial services, healthcare and connected car sector organizations. Approov provides a comprehensive runtime security solution for mobile apps and their APIs, unified across iOS and Android. Mobile apps have become a critical element for every business and unfortunately can expose organizations to breaches, fraud, denial of service, and other forms of API abuse. Approov immediately stops any automated tools or compromised apps from manipulating any part of the end-to-end mobile platform, turning away unauthorized access attempts by scripts, bots and fake or tampered apps. By eliminating false positives and providing runtime application self-protection (RASP) as well as just-in time-management of API keys, secrets and certificates, Approov delivers both exceptional operational convenience and highly robust security at scale.

Approov Demo - Approov Mobile App Attestation
Traditional app security approaches integrate all of the threat detection logic into the app itself, which is running in an attacker controlled environment. Approov is different. It uses a remote attestation approach, where the running app must prove itself to be genuine through a sequence of int...

What do you like best about Approov?

The Approov team worked closely with us to integrate their technology into our relatively new application built on Expo 49. After a trickier integration and their support, we've had no issues with self service which makes any problem solving or occasional tasks super fast! They are very responsive, but more often than not, I find I dont need to reach out and I can handle it myself! There is now even an Expo plugin making integration even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Approov?

Some of the integrations at the time of us adding Approov were primarily targeting native or react-native directly rather than tailor-made for Expo. HOWEVER, this is no longer the case as there is an Expo plugin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Approov solving and how is that benefiting you?

Approov helps us ensure our app is being run on verified devices and gives us peace of mind. We can worry less about side-loading and other exploits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incentivized Review
What do you like best about Approov?

Few things that I found best in approov is it's scalability that it can handle wide range of traffic based on user needs, in-dept report on my app's traffic and real-time threat detection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Approov?

The only thing I disliked about Approov is its cost because I work in a startup and it's a bit costly for smaller organisations like us and also it can only run on iOS only . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Approov solving and how is that benefiting you?

As in the current scenario, most apps are vulnerable to lots of threats that can damage a person's or an organization's reputation. Approov solves this problem by adding an additional layer of security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Joyce Kuo of Approov

Hi Mansi,

Thank you for your comment. We support iOS, Android, and HarmonyOS and are continuously adding support and features based on our customers' needs.

Our pricing is based on monthly active usage of our customers' apps, so it's designed to fit the needs of startups and fortune 500 companies. We've found that this approach works for most customers, but will craft custom enterprise license agreements for use cases that don't fit neatly into that box. You can find more details at https://approov.io/pricing/.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out us at https://approov.io/info/contact.

Best regards,

Approov
