Centralized code analysis has improved my workflow and prioritizes critical vulnerabilities
Apiiro offers several features that I consider the best, such as the ability to have multiple developers and AppSec professionals working on the same project, and through the platform, we can see the number of vulnerabilities, generate reports, and integrate Snyk within our workflow. Before the code goes to production, Apiiro can read all that code and determine if everything is okay or if improvements are needed. The reports generated by Apiiro and its integration with Snyk contribute to my development process by giving us visibility into what is actually vulnerable, as automation like Apiiro makes it much easier to track vulnerabilities without spending too much time manually checking for issues, thus generating meaningful reports afterward. Apiiro manages permissions very effectively, which is interesting from an organizational standpoint because it allows us to separate which people can access a given project and designate project administrators who can approve or reject changes once a fix is made. I found the accuracy and reliability of Apiiro's results to be very good, as it can predict issues based on its existing data.

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.

Pros

"Apiiro manages permissions very effectively, which is interesting from an organizational standpoint because it allows us to separate which people can access a given project and designate project administrators who can approve or reject changes once a fix is made."
"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."
"Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."
"The capability of the solution to convert an application into a Docker image is a vital functionality"
"We are using Docker to host applications."
"Containerization is the most valuable feature. I can communicate to the Docker containers using other containers."
"Docker has relieved a lot of the pressure, including the fact that I no longer have to provide everything from scratch."
"We use Docker to facilitate deployment, updates, and management."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Using Docker has allowed me to test faster, and software development has moved faster."
"The solution is easy to deploy for clients so it saves a lot of hassle."
 

Cons

"The UI sometimes helps but can also be a bit confusing."
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"User management is a little bit clunky."
"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"I would like to see better management layers."
"The main thing that really frustrates me about Docker is how much battery power it consumes on a Macintosh."
"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."
"The stability could be improved."
"Docker volumes. When I integrated volumes, I faced challenges. I have not essentially used add volumes to the existing instances."
"I would like to see a single package image orchestration bundled together. Although Docker has ways to implement, it is not as flexible as Kubernetes."
"We are facing multiple issues with the solution's stability."
"They should provide proper documentation to understand the solution's cgroup process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Customers pay for the license through a yearly subscription model, where they pay per license. This means that the license is based on a subscription, and the customer pays annually for each license they use."
"I use the solution's open-source version."
"Docker's price is good."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"The product is not expensive."
"The current cost for us is nothing as an open source."
"For commercial use, it's about $30 per month. The license itself isn't expensive, but if there are many users, the price becomes high."
"Docker is a free-to-use solution. However, Docker Enterprise is not free."
