Offers reliability and helps to save on costs

In terms of the impact of container orchestration, I would say that though my company does not currently use a lot of containers, we plan to move to containers. I recommend others to just use the internet than ChatGPT since mostly all issues are already known and very easy to deal with so it is better to use the knowledge from the industry. In terms of the use of Docker for AI projects or workflows, I would say that my company deploys AI applications on Docker, like any other application and pipeline. The tools or practices that have proven to be the most beneficial for our company's AI initiatives are agnostic to Docker. There is nothing special in Docker, and our company just uses it to deploy applications. The value derived from the use of the product revolves around the scalability and the reliability it offers. The product helps with the cost-savings part since it saves time and money linked with the amount of engineers required to spend time on operations. I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

An intelligent solution that prioritizes which vulnerability to target first in your project

We could create any number of repositories, but we can create only thirty projects with JFrog Xray. If I want things to work, it has to be one project and multiple repositories that belong to different real projects. So I have a limitation of thirty projects, despite being a premium customer. JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard. Although I am able to generate reports, there is no proper dashboard where I can see the total number of vulnerabilities, the total number of license issues, and how many vulnerabilities are fixed. Second, I found the shift left approach missing with JFrog Xray. JFrog Xray has integration with IDEs, but it does not tell you about the vulnerabilities until the artifact is created. However, Snyk could directly integrate with your repository and would not allow you to build unless you fix the problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The tool helps us in code versioning. I think it's pretty much easy to use and very straightforward. Even if someone is new to the tool, they can easily start using it with a little guidance or theoretical knowledge. Go through the tool and start using it without much struggle."

"The most valuable feature of Docker is its integration with other solutions, such as KVM and AlmaLinux."

"I think that with Docker, it is easy to deploy it on different platforms."

"The most valuable feature is that it is cost-saving."

"Feature-wise, Docker is very user-friendly...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."

"Docker allows you to run multiple virtual machines independently."

"The most valuable feature is that it gives you the same environment as on a developer machine as well as a production machine relevant to specifications."

"The deployment is quite fast, which is beneficial."

More Docker pros

"The most valuable features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."

"The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."

"JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."

"If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first."

"Good reporting functionalities."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"The most valuable features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."

"I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes."

More JFrog Xray pros

Cons

"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."

"We have found that it is not easy to install it into a Windows system."

"Docker could improve by having security vulnerability reports."

"It could be easier to create images and save them on reports. Just improved development workflow, just quicker, like some better user experience creating the images for the Docker containers."

"The command line interface could be more intuitive. I constantly struggle with it."

"I think Docker can improve as it relates to overall stability."

"Enhancing artificial intelligence capabilities and cluster management should be a priority. It should facilitate some security management."

"Docker volumes. When I integrated volumes, I faced challenges. I have not essentially used add volumes to the existing instances."

More Docker cons

"I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."

"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."

"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."

"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."

"X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL."

"The out-of-the-box PostgreSQL provided is not stable, which is why we are considering enterprise support."

"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."

"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."

More JFrog Xray cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the open-source version of the solution."

"The current cost for us is nothing as an open source."

"Regarding pricing, we primarily use AWS for our deployments since we have funding for it. We don't spend much on Docker-specific services, just the containerization product. Docker Hub isn't particularly expensive either, so overall, the pricing is pretty reasonable."

"The solution offers an open-source version that is free and includes a lot of functionality."

"The product is not expensive."

"Docker has made some changes and there is an enterprise version that is affordable."

"There is a license needed to use Docker."

"The solution is an open-source technology and not a commercial product. However, you will have to pay sometimes. The tool's pricing depends on the vendor."
