Appaloosa: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Appaloosa is a cloud platform for mobile device management (MDM). From a single admin console, organisations enrol, configure and secure iPhones, iPads, Android devices, Windows PCs and Macs. The platform supports zero-touch enrolment, company-owned and personal (BYOD) devices, app management and deployment, kiosk mode, contact and file synchronisation, and remote support through TeamViewer. The service is delivered as SaaS.

Appaloosa is a brand of OB2J, a French SAS headquartered in Biarritz. According to its privacy policy, application data (platform, app stores, device management) is hosted exclusively in France, with the French provider Scalingo. Third-party marketing and analytics tools may process data outside the EU, but the policy states that application data is not sent to them. The owner of the company is not stated. For a European organisation this means an MDM service under French law with EU hosting. Ask the vendor for the contractual details on processing and sub-processors.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Appaloosa

Appaloosa is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Appaloosa scores best on data residency.

Appaloosa is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Appaloosa together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
