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.

Centralized management has unified multi‑cluster operations across clouds and data centers
There are multiple areas where SUSE Rancher can improve. The most pressing issue that I found in SUSE Rancher is that it is a bit slow. Compared with Komodor, it is very slow. Maintenance is also very high, and we require regular maintenance. Non-experts in Kubernetes cannot handle this application. It is a bit less stable compared with other tools in the market. In most regions, there is scope for improvement. There is a lot of scope for improvement, and there are a lot of issues in the tool, such as addressing the errors, addressing the stability, and addressing the reliability. It is a very good tool, so that is why I gave it a nine. However, it is not a great tool to get a ten. It is a bit costly compared with other tools in the market.

Cons

"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 does not have a dashboard."

"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."
"The out-of-the-box PostgreSQL provided is not stable, which is why we are considering enterprise support."

"I wish the container could be more lightweight so that anyone can test and verify SUSE Rancher Prime."
"I have noticed that SUSE Rancher's GUI is slow because we have more than 1,000 pods, and when searching for a pod name, the page takes some time to load."
"Additional features for a paid solution should be included, such as more detailed insights, better graphics, and an improved user interface."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool, such as addressing the errors, addressing the stability, and addressing the reliability."
