Secure, Low-Vulnerability Containers That Integrate Seamlessly into Our Pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Chainguard helps reduce cybersecurity risks and the effort associated with our applications by providing secure open-source containers. This, in turn, lowers our need to build and maintain low-vulnerability forks of open-source packages.
Secured Workloads with Excellent Support
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Chainguard for hardened images, better CVE metrics, securing workloads without root access, and aligning with compliance requirements.
Easy-to-Use, Secure Container Images
What do you like best about the product?
The container images are easy to use and provide a secure environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration process is not straightforward, and the cost can be high for individual users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vulnerability scanner which helps me detect complex issues easily.
Great product, great customer service
What do you like best about the product?
A wealth of images and packages at the highest standard of security.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s kinda pricey for a startup, but, ultimately, worth it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building rocket images on top of very secure base images, using secured packages.
Quick and Easy Migration
What do you like best about the product?
Migrating to using Docker images from Chainguard was a pretty seamless experience and it results in better software supply chain security. I also received a lot of quick help from the Chainguard team when I was coming across a problem in my Dockerfile script!
What do you dislike about the product?
It might look very overwhelming to migrate at first glance. It might help to emphasize that it's quick and fairly painless.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of our services use Dockerfiles and it seems that many of them had hundreds of vulnerabilities. Using Chainguard ensures stronger software supply chain practices.
Good range of base images, great support
What do you like best about the product?
Since adopting Chainguard the number of vulnerabilities our scanning tools have found in our services has dramaticdally decreased. Chainguard also offers a good range of base images and has been able to build custom app images for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial learning curve on how to migrate from standard base images to Chainguard images. We have had issues integrating Chainguard's Docker registry with out artifact storage tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating the patching of our base images, so our team doesn't need to worry about it.
Chainguard is very easy to use and deploy
What do you like best about the product?
I was extremely happy with how trivial it was to swap in their FIPS images in place of the FOSS images we were using. They had a whole onboarding call, but we'd already deployed them to development as it was that fast and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their pricing was a battle, they don't differentiate between very simple images and very complex ones, so making the case to use them fully is very difficult. I think a pricing model that more accurately reflects their value add would help, as some images are inherently more complex to replace than others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They have FIPS support and vulnerability management via SCA.
My experiences using Chainguard Nodejs base image was amazing!
What do you like best about the product?
- Very small image size,
- Very small to none CVEs from my experiences.
- Very large repo supporting many languages and technologies,
- Ease to use,
- Ease of implementation.

What do you dislike about the product?
A great part of it, is free, but for some custom implementation or features , you may pay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CVEs, better quality software.
Chainguard makes securing applications much easier
What do you like best about the product?
It's simplicity. Changing from a regular Image to use a Chainguard image as the base helps mitigate a lot of vulnerabilities, and it's a change any developer would be able to easily implement.
This is something that I would recommand to any developer or business that is looking to harden their applications. Securing the base image is the first step everyone should take.

What do you dislike about the product?
I have some uncertaincies about what the support will look like for users using the Developer Free tier in the future. Would like them to sllow all image versions and not just latest/stable for Free Tier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bring simplicity to security. It hardens the application image that our containers use to run.
Time-Saving, Secure Containers Solutions!
What do you like best about the product?
Chainguard allows developers to save a lot of time and effort by providing ready-to-use container images that are secure. In addition, the images provided are very lightweight.
What do you dislike about the product?
The custom linux distribution may be harder to work with, but wolfi-base is still quite similar to Alpine and hence not too complex.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They provide off the shelf image solutions to secure you deployment/release containers. In other words, Chainguard allows you to secure the environment in which you deploy your applications to.
