Easy to deploy with an impressive networking feature

The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box. I would like an option to just use it as local storage or some kind of NSF or CIF. Or to mount the volume straight to a Google Drive or through a particular cloud storage. It's not that these things are impossible, but you have to do some extra work or configurations.

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

"Docker is very reliable. It's easy to scale, and it's very stable."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the Dockerfile, which makes the life of developers easy. Developers get a real understanding of container creation."

"The most valuable feature of Docker is its portability, ease of security management, and low resource usage."

"The solution's customer service is good."

"The solution is easy to deploy for clients so it saves a lot of hassle."

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

"It is a quite mature technology."

"The solution's most valuable feature is having containers independent of the operating system or environment."

More Docker pros

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

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

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

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

"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code."

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

"The solution is stable and reliable."

More JFrog Xray pros

Cons

"Docker management is very difficult when we have a large number of nodes."

"The solution needs to be more scalable for local machines."

"Docker could improve by having security vulnerability reports."

"I would like to see a more UI-based tool so that students can easily understand it rather than memorizing all of the Docker commands."

"The solution could offer better documentation."

"One of the challenges I face with Docker is debugging containers within the infrastructure. It can be tricky to debug applications inside containers, which is a common issue among developers. If easier tools or methods were available to debug applications within Docker containers, it would be very beneficial."

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

"Management can be improved with the necessary tools for orchestration."

More Docker cons

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."

"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."

More JFrog Xray cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is based on the number of users."

"Docker is a free open-source solution. However, there is the Docker Enterprise which is a paid solution."

"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."

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

"Docker's price is good."

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

"Docker is a free open-source solution."

"Since Docker is an open-source solution, it is free of cost."
