We performed a comparison between JFrog Xray and Mend.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Composition Analysis (SCA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Good reporting functionalities."
"If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first."
"The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."
"JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"Our dev team uses the fix suggestions feature to quickly find the best path for remediation."
"The results and the dashboard they provide are good."
"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 inventory, where it compiles a list of all of the third-party libraries that we have on our estate."
"We set the solution up and enabled it and we had everything running pretty quickly."
"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."
"What is very nice is that the product is very easy to set up. When you want to implement Mend.io, it just takes a few minutes to create your organization, create your products, and scan them. It's really convenient to have Mend scanning your products in less than one hour."
"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."
"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."
"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."
"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."
"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 does not have a dashboard."
"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."
"We specifically use this solution within our CICD pipelines in Azure DevOps, and we would like to have a gate so that if the score falls below a certain value then we can block the pipeline from running."
"WhiteSource only produces a report, which is nice to look at. However, you have to check that report every week, to see if something was found that you don't want. It would be great if the build that's generating a report would fail if it finds a very important vulnerability, for instance."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"At times, the latency of getting items out of the findings after they're remediated is higher than it should be."
"If anything, I would spend more time making this more user-friendly, better documenting the CLI, and adding more examples to help expand the current documentation."
"Mend lets you create custom policies. They're not too complicated to set up, but it would be helpful if they had some preconfigured policies to match what we have in Azure DevOps. That would save us a lot of time. It's tedious to configure the policies manually, and I lack the capacity to do it right now. Other products have preconfigured packs and templates, and Mend doesn't."
"Needs better ACL and more role definitions. This product could be used by large organisations and it definitely needs a better role/action model."
