🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Integrating with an Argo CD pre-sync hook to validate manifests against company policies before deployment.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Runtime security (better suited for tools like Falco)
- Full GitOps deployment (Datree is a policy tool, not a CD tool)
🏆 Alternatives
Simpler to set up and use for common policy checks compared to the more powerful but complex OPA or Kyverno.
