"Love the intuitive interface and dashboard to assess security posture in a single place"

4/5

What do you like best about Anchore?

I have been using Anchore for container image scans for more than a year and the interface is clean and easy to use. Was able to integrate it to DefectDojo and then Jira, so now our security issues remediation workflows could be well planned from the backlog as the tickets have all the required details and prioritised by due dates. I have been using Policy Compliance and Vulnerabilities tabs in the dashboard exclusively and they give a good summary of the overall issues identified for an artifact.

"Anchore: Essential Tool for Container Security and Compliance"

4/5

What do you like best about Anchore?

The main advantage of Anchore is how easy it is to use in our DevOps pipeline. We love the automated container security tool that is scalable and thorough. Since we began looking for a cloud-native security solution, we have been delighted to have it. It not only provides vulnerability checks for our containerized applications and reports, but it also complements our container strategy for automated security. Furthermore, Anchore bolsters the security checks by providing customizable policies which help us uphold our security based on industry standards and internal guidelines.

What do you dislike about Anchore?

The first experience to set up and configure maybe complex, particularly for teams that are new to container security tools. The learning curve is steep, and additional documentation or guided tutorials would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anchore solving and how is that benefiting you?

Container security and accurate SBOM generation are both significant challenges that Anchore is helping us address in our DevOps environment. When we integrated Anchore into our CI/CD pipeline, it had an immediate impact, reducing the chances of us deploying vulnerable containers. By conducting thorough image scanning, Anchore tells us about any security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations or policy violations before the container ends up in production - which ensures our applications are secure and compliant.
