Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I personally like the way it breaks down security vulnerabilities with LoC at first glance."
"The most valuable feature is the time to resolution, where it tells you how long it is going to take to get to a zero-base or a five-star security rating."
"It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company."
"The solution has a continuous integration process."
"I've found the reporting features the most helpful."
"The solution offers very good technical support."
"I have found the security and QA in the source code to be most valuable."
"Software analytics for a lot of different languages including ABAP."
"WhiteSource helped reduce our mean time to resolution since the adoption of the product."
"It gives us full visibility into what we're using, what needs to be updated, and what's vulnerable, which helps us make better decisions."
"The license management of WhiteSource was at a good level. As compared to other tools that I have used, its functionality for the licenses for the code libraries was quite good. Its UI was also fine."
"The most valuable feature is the unified JAR to scan for all langs (wss-scanner jar)."
"We can take some measures to improve things, replace a library, or update a library which was too old or showed severe bugs."
"The overall support that we receive is pretty good. "
"The dashboard view and the management view are most valuable."
"WhiteSource is unique in the scanning of open-source licenses. Additionally, the vulnerabilities aspect of the solution is a benefit. We don't use WhiteSource in the whole organization, but we use it for some projects. There we receive a sense of the vulnerabilities of the open-source components, which improves our security work. The reports are automated which is useful."
"In Kiuwan there are sometimes duplicates found in the dependency scan under the "insights" tab. It's unclear to me why these duplicates are appearing, and it would be helpful if the application teams could investigate further."
"The configuration hasn't been that good."
"I would like to see better integration with the Visual Studio and Eclipse IDEs."
"The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report."
"It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality."
"The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting."
"Kiuwan's support has room for improvement. You can only open a ticket is through email, and the support team is outside of our country. They should have a support number or chat."
"It could improve its scalability abilities."
"It should support multiple SBOM formats to be able to integrate with old industry standards."
"It would be nice to have a better way to realize its full potential and translate it within the UI or during onboarding."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"WhiteSource Prioritize should be expanded to cover more than Java and JavaScript."
"I would like to see the static analysis included with the open-source version."
"At times, the latency of getting items out of the findings after they're remediated is higher than it should be."
"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."
"Needs better ACL and more role definitions. This product could be used by large organisations and it definitely needs a better role/action model."
