I never determined the accuracy of the scanning because I did not utilize this feature. Unfortunately, I have limited experience as I have only helped utilize from a client's platform that installed it before. Regarding VMware Harbor Registry, I did not use it extensively, so I cannot provide detailed feedback. I did not use any specialized use cases of the particular product. I do not think they have anything to improve. It is more about the difference in the product because VMware Harbor Registry is installed mostly on-premises as an image registry, whereas Docker Hub is more convenient and online. One has on-premises secure security, and the other offers convenience because it is online. The initial navigation required learning, but that is more of a developer issue rather than a product issue. The image scanning in VMware Harbor Registry is quite limited compared to other specialized image scanning tools. While it is convenient to have image scanning packaged with VMware Harbor Registry, it is not as comprehensive in terms of security.

We did check the documentation as well as some of the issues mentioned in GitHub, but they weren't that useful.
