DryDock vs Apperian: What are the differences?

DryDock: DryDock enables rapid-deployment of internal product releases on demand while remaining on a supported internal update track. DryDock is an open source iOS application that we built at Venmo to manage and install all of our internal builds, allow employees to download new experimental apps at any time and to easily share builds designed for a broader audience with their friends; Apperian: Manage and distribute mobile apps. It is the leading enterprise-class mobile application management (MAM®) and security platform for the delivery of critical apps to 100% of users across an organization.

DryDock and Apperian can be primarily classified as "Beta Testing / Mobile App Distribution" tools.

Some of the features offered by DryDock are:

• Rapidly share builds
• Install any version of the your app that you've ever released to the App Store.
• DryDock is built on the Parse backend to make it really simple (and free) for anybody to host their own version of DryDock.

On the other hand, Apperian provides the following key features:

• EMM for Unmanaged Devices & BYOD
• Extend reach of Mobile Device Management
• Beta App Testing

DryDock is an open source tool with 444 GitHub stars and 38 GitHub forks. Here's a link to DryDock's open source repository on GitHub.
