Pros
"The workflow automation is likely the best aspect of the solution.""Apiiro's secrets detection feature has saved us several times, which we appreciate greatly."

More Apiiro Pros →

"The product enables other applications to be secure.""The solution is very good at scanning and evaluating open source software.""Policy management is a valuable feature.""The solution is stable.""Black Duck is pretty extensive in terms of the scan reserves and the vulnerability exposures. From that perspective, I'm happy with it.""The stability is okay.""We accidentally use third-party library APIs, which may not be secure. Our technical team may not have the end time or expertise to figure it out. Black Duck helps us with that and saves us time.""The solution works well on Mac products."

Cons
"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git.""User management is a little bit clunky."

More Apiiro Cons →

"It is a cloud-only solution. In many cases, companies like to evaluate the software, but they're very reluctant to give you the software. It would be great if they could offer an on-prem component that could be used to scan the code and then upload the discovery results to the cloud and get all the information from there, but there is no such possibility. You have to upload the code to the Black Duck cloud system. Of course, they have a strong legal department, and they offer some configuration, but it is never enough. You have to give the code, which is a drawback. In modern designs like Snyk or FOSSA, you don't need to give the code. It requires more native integration with Coverity because they go together technically. You need both Coverity and Black Duck Hub. It would be really helpful for companies working in this space to get a combined offer from the same company. They should provide an option to buy Coverity for an additional fee. Coverity combined with Black Duck Hub will provide a one-step analysis to get everything you need and a unified report. It would be really great to be able to connect Black Duck Hub with Coverity unified reports.""The solution must provide more open APIs.""The documentation is quite scattered.""The tool needs to improve its pricing. Its configuration is complex and can be improved.""It can be cumbersome to use or invalidate open source software because there is a hold time to check requirements or common regulations to ensure compliance.""The solution's pricing model and documentation areas of concern where improvement is needed.""We have been having some issues with the latest releases where we are not able to scan our applications with the help of Black Duck.""It needs to be more user-friendly for developers and in general, to ensure compliance."
