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

"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution."
"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."
"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."
"Docker's containerization property is its main selling point."
"Docker has relieved a lot of the pressure, including the fact that I no longer have to provide everything from scratch."
"This makes our publisher fast and our containers are isolated from each other."
"The solution is easy to deploy for clients so it saves a lot of hassle."
"The deployment is quite fast, which is beneficial."
"It is neat and very flexible."
"Traditional deployments take more time and builds can be inconsistent across different environments. Docker solves these issues."
"The solution's most valuable feature is having containers independent of the operating system or environment."
 

Cons

"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"User management is a little bit clunky."
"Docker volumes. When I integrated volumes, I faced challenges. I have not essentially used add volumes to the existing instances."
"Owing to a few shortcomings in its stability, I would say that its stability can be improved."
"The solution’s documentation could improve a bit."
"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."
"The volumes for persistent storage could be more user friendly right out of the box."
"There are elements of stability that are problematic."
"In terms of communication between services, perhaps the configuration within networks between containers could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It's free."
"Docker is a free open-source solution."
"Docker is a free tool."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"Docker is a free open-source solution."
"The solution offers an open-source version that is free and includes a lot of functionality."
"It's an open-source solution, so it doesn't cost anything"
