We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I appreciate the user-friendly interface. The GUI is excellent, providing detailed information on outdated versions, including version numbers and the flow of library calls. This allows me to plan and prioritize library changes based on potential vulnerabilities, even if the affected library is indirectly used in my project. The tool offers specific guidance on addressing these issues.""It is very easy and user friendly. It never requires any kind of technical support. You can do everything on your own.""The product is stable and scalable.""Checkmarx unifies all the features in its service.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""One of the strong points of this solution is that it allows you to incorporate it into a CICB pipeline. It has the ability to do incremental scans. If you scan a very large application, it might take two hours to do the initial scan. The subsequent scans, as people are making changes to the app, scan the Delta and are very fast. That's a really nice implementation. The way they have incorporated the functionality of the incremental scans is something to be aware of. It is quite good. It has been very solid. We haven't really had any issues, and it does what it advertises to do very nicely.""The integration part is easy...It's a stable solution right now.""What's most valuable in Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis is its ability to identify vulnerabilities in open-source components, especially if some critical issues exist."

"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code.""I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes.""JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning.""If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first.""The solution is stable and reliable.""Good reporting functionalities.""The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."

Cons
"API security is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis should improve dynamic analysis.""Some of the recommendations provided by the product are generic. Even if the recommendations provided by the product are of low level, the appropriate ones can help users deal with vulnerabilities.""It can have better licensing models.""Personally, I currently use it as a standalone tool without integrating it with other systems, and it meets my needs adequately. As a suggestion, I request on considering to add a "what if" feature to the application. Currently, when the tool identifies issues and suggests updates, if I want to explore different scenarios, I need to prepare another file, turn it into a ZIP, and run the analysis again. It would be more convenient if there was a "what if" option in the GUI. This feature could simulate a run, allowing me to quickly check the impact of changing one or more files or versions without the need for a full rerun.""I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten.""Instant updates for end users to identify vulnerabilities as soon as possible will make Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis better. The UI of the solution could also be improved.""Parts of the implementation process could improve by making it more user-friendly."

More Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis Cons →

"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance.""Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things.""Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool.""JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard.""I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images.""JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved.""Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is a little bit high priced. It would be better if it was a little less expensive."
  • "Pricing for Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis needs to be competitive."
  • "The license model is somewhat perplexing as it comprises multiple aspects that can be confusing for customers. The model is determined by the number of registered users and the number of projects being scanned, along with a third component that adds to the complexity."
  • "My customers need to pay for the licensing part, and they need to opt for an annual subscription."
  • "We don't have a license. The usage is limited to one, two, three, five, or ten people. It is currently used for all projects, and there are plans to increase its usage."

    Overview

    Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis (SCA) helps organizations manage the risks associated with open source and third-party components in their software applications. While leveraging open source libraries and third-party dependencies is common practice, it can also introduce security vulnerabilities and license risks.


    Checkmarx SCA offers a multifaceted approach to managing these risks by:


    • Automatically scanning project repositories, build configurations, and manifests to create a comprehensive inventory of all components, including version information and associated licenses.

    • Performing vulnerability assessments on each component, including identifying and prioritizing actual exploitable or reachable vulnerabilities.

    • Protecting organizations from software supply chain attacks involving malicious packages, such as the XZ Utils backdoor.

    • Identifying licenses associated and providing insights into license obligations, restrictions, and potential conflicts.

    • Integrating seamlessly into existing development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

    • Providing actionable remediation guidance to help organizations address identified vulnerabilities and compliance issues effectively.

    JFrog is on a mission to enable continuous updates through Liquid Software, empowering developers to code high-quality applications that securely flow to end-users with zero downtime.
