Good core scanning, a helpful GDPR assessment template and very good technical support
The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic. The last time we did it, the customer was trying to make the SAP system match the GDPR process. We were able to use it for that benchmark. It was very important. The GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy. It was very useful because it also gave notifications.

Centralized security monitoring has reduced false positives and improves dependency governance
The only area for improvement I would say is that the false positives are nearly zero; everything is mostly like 99 to 99.99% or we can say 100% accurate. There were a few areas for improvement just from the last time I saw; I think the user experience had a little problem. We wanted to have certain reports based on our kind of scenario, but the tool did not allow us to create custom reports. We had asked for some facility and some ability for us to create some custom reports. That would be awesome if they allow us to create custom reports the way we wanted. There is one small area which I don't know whether we should call a tool limitation or a wish list; if I use a library and I don't use all the capabilities of the library but only a portion of it and that portion is not vulnerable, but there is a component which is outdated, that is a problem, even though I don't use that component. Mend.io will discover there is a problem in the whole library; that is correct. That's a valid discovery, but in my case, for example, if I don't use that particular portion, then it actually is not making sense for me, but that's not a limitation of Mend.io; I think that's a general problem with any tool in the market because no tool in the market will actually know what portion of the code I'm actually using from that particular library if it is vulnerable or not.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic."
"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module, and the GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy and was very useful because it also gave notifications."
"The main value is that it showed us what we needed to fix, and with the dashboard security trends feature, we can see over time if we made progress."
"We moved from Black Duck to WhiteSource as it was a more modern and scalable solution, with better integration support to various build and source environments."
"WhiteSource allowed us to minimize our exposure to open-source vulnerabilities with ease."
"It saves a lot of money with early fixing."
"The solution is scalable."
"Our primary goal was to get the license reports, but now we have a full end-to-end process that automates all license management, open-source license approval, rejection, ticket assignment, and more."
"We can take some measures to improve things, replace a library, or update a library which was too old or showed severe bugs."
"The most valuable feature is the unified JAR to scan for all langs (wss-scanner jar)."
 

Cons

"The solution is generally good, but it's not seamless."
"The anomaly detection could be improved."
"WhiteSource is working on a UI refresh. That's probably been one of the pain points for us as it feels like a really old application."
"At times, the latency of getting items out of the findings after they're remediated is higher than it should be."
"Up until now, we were convinced that the return of investment was not really the case."
"Some detected libraries do not specify a location of where in the source they were matched from, which is something that should be enhanced to enable quicker troubleshooting."
"The initial setup was of an intermediate complexity; it was neither complex nor straightforward and could have been easier."
"The dashboard UI and UX are problematic."
"It should support multiple SBOM formats to be able to integrate with old industry standards."
"I would like to see the static analysis included with the open-source version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing and licensing are comparable to other tools. When we started, it was less than our existing solution. I can't go into specifics, but it isn't cheap."
"This is an expensive solution."
"We always negotiate for the best price possible, and as far as I know, Mend has done an excellent job with their pricing. Our management is happy with the pricing, which has led to renewals."
"The version that we are using, WhiteSource Bolt, is a free integration with Azure DevOps."
"Pricing is competitive."
"Its pricing model is per developer. It depends on the number of developers in the company. The license is for a minimum of 20 developers. So, even if you are a small startup with less than 10 developers, you have to buy a license for 20 developers on a yearly subscription, which makes it quite expensive for startup customers. I provide consultation to startup accelerators. They're small at the beginning, and only once they grow to 20 developers, they can afford this tool. As a result, WhiteSource is missing this target audience. Their licensing is not flexible."
"We are paying a lot of money to use WhiteSource. In our company, it is not easy to argue that it is worth the price. ​"
"The solution involves a yearly licensing fee."
