That being said, most of the 3rd party products for APFS offer more data recovery features than disk maintenance features. Then they added Fusion Drive support after that. APFS was never really designed for HDD's and support was added later on after the initial release of APFS. I have a tens of thousands of PCs and Macs at work and it is extremely rare for an SSD to fail. Today's SSD drives are ridiculously stable and reliable. Typically you would run the First Aid at the lowest level first and work your way up to the Container and then the Physical Disk. But the built-in Disk Utility should be enough especially with modern SSD drives. Since then there are a few vendors who have added support for APFS. Supported OS includes Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6), OS X Lion (10.7), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), OS X Mavericks (10.9), OS X Yosemite (10.10), OS X El Capitan (10.11), macOS Sierra (10.12), macOS High Sierra (10.13 - when not rebuilding internal SSDs) and macOS Mojave (10.14 - when rebuilding external disks).APFS is proprietary to Apple and arrived with High Sierra in 2017.
