|---|---|---|
| CEO at VIVANS | 4.0 | We use Sonatype Repository Firewall to prevent malicious packages in Nexus Repository, as it supports accurate detection via its database. While lacking in container and AI support, improvements are expected in 2025. Alternatives are limited to Gather. |
| Global Treasurer at Genpact | 4.5 | I use this tool for essential QA automation and code quality, finding it easy to use with excellent ROI in our CI/CD. While initial setup took effort, I wish it supported more languages and offered better free customer service. |
| Senior Cyber Security Architect and Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I find Sonatype crucial for open-source security, providing vital vulnerability detection and boosting developer productivity. Though initial setup was challenging and phone support is absent, its stability and responsive email support are highly valued. |
| Student at a university with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I find Sonatype Repository Firewall valuable for vulnerability and security assessments, with strong network and intrusion protection features as well as compliance rules. However, improvements are needed in file systems, and a zero test feature should be included. |
