C# Developer at A&D Mortgage LLC

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.

Provides strong visibility, straightforward integration, and reduces the risk of attacks

Legit Security is a product that hyper-focuses on the various aspects of the software development pipeline. For example, if an engineer spins off a new project and stands up a new Git project, Legit automatically detects it, connects Snyk and other tools, and ensures the engineering team doesn't have to think about it. This way, we stay on top of security from the beginning. On the other hand, Legit provides a clear view of the controls around repositories. We have standards requiring code reviews and similar practices, and Legit shows us whether these are being followed. Additionally, Legit helps us identify unmaintained repositories, which often arise when engineering teams try something and leave it behind. This knowledge allows us to determine the appropriate action for these neglected projects. One area where Legit falls short is secret detection. While it functions well overall, the feature has a 10-20 percent false positive rate, requiring some manual intervention. Almost everything else works flawlessly. The true value proposition of Legit lies not in its features but in its ability to support our product security program's focus on creating guardrails instead of toll gates. Unlike traditional programs that require security reviews at specific stages, hindering development flow, we strive to partner with the product engineering team to ship secure code seamlessly within their existing workflows. Legit plays a crucial role in this by automatically notifying us of new projects, eliminating the need for manual communication. This partnership approach, enabled by Legit, allows us to work much closer with our engineering teams than ever before.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Docker are its security, detailed documentation, and ease of use, and the Docker Swarm is not as complex as Kubernetes."

"Docker is perfect for what I do...The solution is scalable."

"Docker creates lightweight applications that are easy to manage and scale."

"Docker allows you to create small applications and containerize them. You can create multiple such application containers that can run simultaneously on the Linux operating system. In a DevOps environment where multiple teams are creating applications, developing new versions, and deploying applications frequently, Docker is very helpful. The greatest benefit of the solution is that you can create applications and multiple versions of the same application, distributing them across various Linux platforms. Setting up Docker is very quick; whereas setting up a Linux operating system can take five to ten minutes, you can set up a Docker-based Linux OS container within minutes. For developers who frequently create and deploy applications, Docker makes it easy to quickly develop, deploy, and run the latest versions. The solution’s stability is great. I rate it a nine out of ten. Regarding scalability, Docker doesn't require any separate configuration for multiple users. If you are trying to create an application quickly for testing or development purposes, Docker is the best tool available."

"It is a quite mature technology."

"We are able to stop our containers or stop the service with a single command."

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

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

More Docker pros

"We implemented Legit Security to gain visibility into all development teams and ensure that consistent controls are in place and accounted for on every route."

"Legit has increased my security posture to a level I couldn't achieve before. I don't need to worry as much about what's happening within my developer environments. I can rest assured that my vulnerabilities are being detected."

"The true value proposition of Legit lies not in its features but in its ability to support our product security program's focus on creating guardrails instead of toll gates."

"Legit has had a positive effect on our overall security posture."

Cons

"The solution could improve with a GUI instead of only a command line interface. Having to use the command line interface can be a hassle."

"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."

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

"We'd like knowledge transfer to be easier."

"Stability is an area with a shortcoming."

"The backup compatibility for legacy window stations is an area of concern where improvement is required, especially since my company has certain legacy tools that we are struggling to move."

"Docker could improve by having more advanced features."

"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."

More Docker cons

"The one we're working on right now is the ability to dynamically rerun development teams and groups."

"Legit Security could do a little better with detecting publicly exposed keys. It's not bad. The detections that they are running get to everything eventually, but it would be great if they could increase some of that awareness."

"One issue is that engineering teams don't always embed secrets in the same way, making it difficult for the tool to consistently identify them."

"I would like them to have their own static code scanner, and I'd like them to have their own open-source software scanners."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"Its convenience edition is free of cost."

"The product is a free open-source tool."

"I would rate the pricing of Docker as ten out of ten"

"The offering and service are quite free."

"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."

"Docker is a free open-source solution."
