"Fast CVE Remediation and a Clean CLI—Occasional Auth0 Login Hiccups"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

The fast CVE remediation requires a minimal images.

The well-thought-out authentication flow for CLI and a simple, but complete interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

The login flow is generally fine, but from time to time I get a “something went wrong” message on the Auth0 page. It doesn’t happen often, and it’s not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and Seamless Software Delivery"
5/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

I appreciate how Chainguard reduces CVEs through its secure-by-default model and fast remediation time. I'm impressed by Chainguard's dedication to secure software delivery and its continuous expansion of complementary products. The company exhibits the passion of a startup combined with the dedication of a well-developed organization. I also find it extremely easy to add the nightly downloads to Artifactory and integrate them into GitLab pipelines. Additionally, I use complementary products like libraries, advisories, and soon-to-come agent skills, which are quite beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

I don't like compensating for bad vendor practices like vulnerable code being in library and mod files. While not executable, this causes administrative headaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Vulnerability Reduction with Chainguard"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

Chainguard reduces the total number of vulnerabilities that our team has to spend time patching, both in container images and from open-source libraries. The features that ensure the image dependencies are minimalized and hardened to FIPS and FedRAMP standards are very valuable for us. The initial setup was very easy, allowing us to switch over 50 containers to Chainguard within less than a month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

It takes the team a while to create a new image for a 3rd party tool, if they do at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure and Up-to-Date Kubernetes Images Made Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

I like that Chainguard provides secure images for our Kubernetes platform, which means fewer security issues to deal with personally.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

Nothing comes to mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure, Low-Vulnerability Containers That Integrate Seamlessly into Our Pipelines"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

Chainguard zero- and minimum-vulnerability containers help us deliver secure services and products to our customers with less effort and reduced cybersecurity risk. These containers are a 1-to-1 replacement for existing publicly available containers, and they integrate easily into our development pipelines with no additional effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

Chainguard containers are expensive. However, when I consider how many staff hours go into building and maintaining hardened, low-vulnerability containers for applications, the cost does pay off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Resolving CVEs in Minutes with a Vast Catalog of Certified Package Checks"
5/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

Since we work with a lot of classified data, being able to resolve CVEs in minutes through your vast catalog of certified package version checks has saved our developers time. It lets us focus on what really matters: the end product, rather than compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

I’m working on onboarding all of our packages to use Chainguard services, and I’m realizing that there are some packages you don’t currently provide. Because of that, finding a workaround is taking some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Valuable Security Patch Management for a Small Team"
4/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

Having someone else manage security patches is quite valuable to my small team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

Sometimes unclear how vulnerabilities are triaged or resolved in a timely fashion. Some of the underlying compatibility shims play havok with our security scanners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secured Workloads with Excellent Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Chainguard?

I like the hardened images and their support for debugging and other channels. I appreciate the vLLM and OSS support along with the images that we need major upgrades for. I also like their release cadence and find their customer support to be good. I value the minimal, hardened, continuously patched base images that work with vLLM, which has a fast release cadence and evolving dependencies. I also like the immutable image tags, SBOM, and continuous rebuild features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Chainguard?

I find the lack of easy migration guides and more FDE support frustrating. Also, the initial setup was problematic for GPU services as core NVIDIA images are not supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
