Near-Zero CVEs with a Seamless Catalog and Prompt Support
Reviewed on Jul 24, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
They’ve delivered on their promise of hardening images to a near-zero CVE posture. The web catalog experience is seamless, easy to navigate, and genuinely useful. On top of that, my support requests have been answered promptly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing has changed over the years and has been expensive at times, but I think it’s on the right track now. That said, updates to an image can sometimes be slow, which can be a bit frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us reduce the CVE count on our images by providing equivalent replacements that fit into our existing codebase without much effort.

Chainguard Images Reduce Vulnerabilities Effectively
Reviewed on Jul 09, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The Chainguard images eliminate or reduce known vulnerabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the documentation and workflow for images is great, the same for helm charts is sometimes lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Chainguard provides us with more secure container images, which is required for some of the secure networks we are deploying to. It saves us a ton of time in building our own custom images by providing secure, minimal containers to build from.

They offer a very strong security SLA, and it has helped us reduce a significant portion of our vulnerability surface and overall exposure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting adoption going across the organization can be a challenge, especially since there are a fair number of exceptions and special cases to account for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerability remediation helps us stay in compliance, maintaining the required performance in our complaince metrics, intergrating with our artifactory, at a resonable roi for the SLA
