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.

Offers flexibility across clouds and easy credential management while interface improvements are needed
For JFrog Xray, the Artifactory and package repositories are valuable features. There are many benefits from JFrog Xray. For example, with other registries such as ECR, we can use the images only in the AWS cloud. With JFrog, we can use this registry from any cloud or work locally as well. JFrog can support multiple packages, such as NuGet package, pip, and other technologies. It can be used for Terraform as well. The credential management is very easy in JFrog. For instance, when using GitHub action as a CI/CD tool, I just need to create a token and set up JFrog CLI there and give access to the repository. With multiple repositories, I can generate a token for a specific repository, add that token in the GitHub secret, fetch from the CI/CD, run the command JFrog CLI, and authenticate through the token. Then we can push the images into JFrog.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution."
"Good reporting functionalities."
"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."
"I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes."
"With JFrog, we can use this registry from any cloud or work locally as well, and it can support multiple packages such as NuGet, pip, and other technologies including Terraform, making credential management very easy."
"I am utilizing the deep scanning capabilities in JFrog Xray product, and this feature is very handy because with other software, you don't know where the bad dependencies come from."
"JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."
"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code."
 

Cons

"User management is a little bit clunky."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"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."
"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."
"The out-of-the-box PostgreSQL provided is not stable, which is why we are considering enterprise support."
"X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL."
"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."
"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."
"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."
"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."
