| Senior Consultant at Mettler-Toledo International Inc. | 4.5 | I find VMware Harbor Registry lightweight with good vulnerability scanning and easy setup. Despite its excellent scalability, a recurring issue with overwritten default credentials frequently causes stability problems, requiring restarts. |
| Associate Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees | 2.5 | I use Tanzu and VMware Harbor for containerizing pilot apps in Kubernetes, finding deployment automation helpful, though Harbor's image scanning is limited; I prefer Docker Hub's convenience and mostly work with Azure Kubernetes and CI/CD tools like SonarQube. |
