configure8 vs Port

Configure8 is a developer portal for cataloging engineering systems and enabling standards-based self-service. Its catalog organizes applications, services, data pipelines, ML jobs, environments and cloud resources with related information. Engineers can use a no-code interface to run provisioning, maintenance and other day-two actions through existing automations and guardrails. Scorecards assess reliability, security, architecture, development maturity, DORA metrics and other standards using built-in or custom checks.

Listed integrations include GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, AWS Security Hub, Jira, PagerDuty, Datadog, Okta and Microsoft Entra ID. An API can ingest and organize data from other tools. Configure8 states that it holds SOC 2 certification and encrypts cloud customer data in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES-256. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited catalog users and integrations, subject to data and feature limits. Paid plans start at $19 per user per month billed annually. Enterprise is listed at $22.89 a month, while the plan details also state $22.89 per month per user.

Port is a cloud-native platform for engineering teams to build, govern, and operate their software development lifecycle. Its platform includes a Context Lake, Software Catalog, Actions, AI Agents, Scorecards, Access Controls, Workflows, and Interface Designer. Port maps environments into the Context Lake and orchestrates agentic workflows across the development lifecycle with governance. It lists 86 integrations in areas such as Kubernetes, CI/CD, incident management, SSO, Git, cloud providers, and AI agents. Examples include Prometheus, Azure Monitor, Rootly, n8n, Claude AI, OpenAI, Cursor, Jira, Slack, ServiceNow, and Wiz. The Free plan has no time limit and includes up to 15 seats, up to 10k entities, up to 400 runs, and community support. Basic is listed at $30 a month, billed annually; paid plans start at $30/user/mo (annual). Port states that it is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, GDPR, ISO 27001, and CCPA compliant, and follows OWASP best practices. It says data at rest is encrypted with AES-256 and data in transit uses HTTPS and TLS 1.2 or later where applicable. User-ingested data is retained until deleted; audit logs are retained for one year by default, and sign-in and account access logs for 30 days.
