Comprehensive risk analysis helps identify key performance trends but report access needs improvement
My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow. The moment I select from the entire list of repositories in my vertical, which is almost more than 400 repositories, it takes a lot of time for me to load the report. Sometimes it fails. I do not have Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It's only given to the application security team, and Apiiro as a vendor does not have the rollback access control enabled for the clients, so that would have given me access to the reports tab, which would have made my life easier. Currently, I have to go to the risks tab to pull out all this information. I started exploring dashboards with Copilot. I need to reach out to the Apiiro teams to see if I can get an access token so that I can pull out a Power BI dashboard. I think Apiiro definitely has its own capabilities, but if there are access tokens that teams can use to build a custom dashboard, that would be great. This might already exist, but that is something which will ease the vulnerability management day-to-day activities.

Local container testing has boosted development speed but still needs lower battery and memory use
The main thing that really frustrates me about Docker is how much battery power it consumes on a Macintosh. I really am not a fan of that, which leads me to not want to run Docker 24/7 because I do not want my laptop battery to be exhausted by Docker instances running or even the Docker CLI or UI being booted up. I tend to not have it running until I need it, and then I run it and close it. It would be really nice if it did not consume as much battery as it does currently. Docker can definitely be improved by reducing the battery and CPU load that it impacts on a Macintosh. If it were possible for me to run Docker without panicking about the battery running out, that would be excellent. I believe battery is the biggest issue with Docker. The other issue is memory. It seems to consume a lot of memory, and I am not a fan of that. This means that I need to have a really powerful, high-specification Macintosh with a lot of battery and a lot of memory for it to work reliably. I do not always have access to that. If Docker could consume less battery and less memory, that would be magnificent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."
"The positive impact I have seen from working with Apiiro for my company includes the metrics that we get from Apiiro, which have been extremely helpful."
"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its sandbox environment. It makes it very easy to run and test applications without needing configurations, which is the core advantage of containerization. Kubernetes and Helm are helpful as they provide high-level metrics, making tracking the status of all the containers and applications running easier."
"The solution offers speed and flexibility."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"Docker offers a resilient system with minimal failure chances and optimized performance"
"When used in conjunction with Kubernetes, it is seamless because it integrates very well."
"Docker packages up an application as a single item that you can then run without the need to install or configure it to work on any specific machine."
"The capability of the solution to convert an application into a Docker image is a vital functionality"
"I have seen end-to-end performance with Docker. It's a great tool, and it's the most popular container service in the market."
 

Cons

"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"User management is a little bit clunky."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"We'd like knowledge transfer to be easier."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I advise new users to review their website, commands, and the steps for creating images."
"Docker could improve by providing the ability to use the GPU for parallel processing. If there was the capability of using the GPU it would improve the machine learning that I want to use."
"The main thing that really frustrates me about Docker is how much battery power it consumes on a Macintosh."
"Sometimes, we have sync-up issues where the build doesn't get processed due to these sync issues, causing the build to fail. That's one of the drawbacks I see. When we did a huge sync-up, we faced a couple of issues. It takes some time for us to complete the sync-up. For frequent, smaller updates, we haven't had any issues. However, challenges can arise for those who prefer doing everything in one go. This might not necessarily be due to the tool itself but because of the approach of doing everything in a single batch."
"Unfortunately, base images are not currently available."
"The security layer is very vulnerable, although they are working to improve the system hardening and email hardening."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is fairly cheap."
"Docker is open source. To use a Docker enterprise model, we would need to pay for it."
"It's an open-source solution, so it doesn't cost anything"
"Docker is a free open-source solution."
"The solution offers an open-source version that is free and includes a lot of functionality."
"Since Docker is an open-source solution, it is free of cost."
"The offering and service are quite free."
"Docker is a free open-source solution. However, there is the Docker Enterprise which is a paid solution."
