Find out what your peers are saying about Synopsys, Snyk, Veracode and others in Software Composition Analysis (SCA)."It had a web interface into the reporting tools that was decent, and open source components could be reported per project and/or aggregated similar to other software composition tools."
"There are multiple different integrations there. We use Mend for CI/CD that goes through Azure as well. It works seamlessly. We never have any issues with it."
"Our dev team uses the fix suggestions feature to quickly find the best path for remediation."
"WhiteSource helped reduce our mean time to resolution since the adoption of the product."
"The reporting capability gives us the option to generate an open-source license report in a single click, which gets all copyright and license information, including dependencies."
"The solution boasts a broad range of features and covers much of what an ideal SCA tool should."
"We can take some measures to improve things, replace a library, or update a library which was too old or showed severe bugs."
"The solution is scalable."
"The overall support that we receive is pretty good. "
"I found the user interface cumbersome and difficult to use."
"We have been looking at how we could improve the automation to human involvement ratio from 60:40 to 70:30, or even potentially 80:20, as there is room for improvement here. We are discussing this internally and with Mend; they are very accommodating to us. We think they openly receive our feedback and do their best to implement our thoughts into the roadmap."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The solution lacks the code snippet part."
"It would be good if it can do dynamic code analysis. It is not necessarily in that space, but it can do more because we have too many tools. Their partner relationship support is a little bit confusing. They haven't really streamlined the support process when we buy through a reseller. They should improve their process."
"The UI is not that friendly and you need to learn how to navigate easily."
"Mend supports most of the common package managers, but it doesn't support some that we use. I would appreciate it if they can quickly make these changes to add new package managers when necessary."
"On the reporting side, they could make some improvements. They are making the reports better and better, but sometimes it takes a lot of time to generate a report for our entire organization."
"WhiteSource Prioritize should be expanded to cover more than Java and JavaScript."
