What do you like best about the product?
Chainguard's security-first approach, combined with the expertise of their engineering team, has been the most valuable aspect of our partnership. Their minimal, hardened container images and FIPS-compliant libraries have helped simplify our FedRAMP readiness efforts while reducing software supply chain risk. We also appreciate their responsiveness, technical knowledge, and willingness to work collaboratively to resolve implementation challenges and support our engineering teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have no significant concerns at this time and have been pleased with our overall experience working with Chainguard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Chainguard is helping us strengthen our software supply chain security while accelerating our FedRAMP readiness. Their hardened container images and FIPS-compliant cryptographic libraries reduce the effort required to build and maintain secure container images, simplify compliance with federal security requirements, and help minimize vulnerabilities in our software stack. This allows our engineering teams to focus on delivering product capabilities while improving the security and integrity of our containerized workloads.

Secure, Hardened Chainguard Images That Save DevSecOps Time
Reviewed on Jun 25, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
As a DevSecOps engineer, the best part of Chainguard is being able to get secure, hardened container images off the shelf. Before Chainguard, I had to maintain my own images and write custom scripts to remove certain binaries, or build my own images from scratch to reduce vulnerabilities. That created a lot of toil, especially when it came to keeping everything up to date. Now I can start from images that are already designed with security in mind, which cuts down on vulnerability noise and saves me time. I don’t use the UI much, so for me the main value is the core functionality: reliable, low-vulnerability images that make secure container workflows much easier to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some images that are directly derived from other sources, like Bitnami, end up with entrypoints that differ from the originals. On top of that, some Helm charts don’t provide a way to customize the container’s ENTRYPOINT or CMD. In certain cases, this leaves me having to maintain my own image (using Chainguard’s image as a base) solely to adjust the ENTRYPOINT.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is kind of obvious question - it helps me maintain secure environment. It is also extremely helpful in case of certifications like SOC2 or deployments to restricted environments.

Valuable Security Patch Management for a Small Team
Reviewed on Jun 23, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Having someone else manage security patches is quite valuable to my small team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes unclear how vulnerabilities are triaged or resolved in a timely fashion. Some of the underlying compatibility shims play havok with our security scanners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping our containers free from vulnerabilities lets us present a strong security posture to auditors and customers.

What do you like best about the product?
The fast CVE remediation requires a minimal images.
The well-thought-out authentication flow for CLI and a simple, but complete interface.
The well-thought-out authentication flow for CLI and a simple, but complete interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They allow us to lower our CVE count, which is the main advantage of using Chainguard images.
Before, while using public Docker images, we couldn't hit 0 CVE; it was impossible. Chainguard made it possible
