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of the library but only a portion of it and that portion is not vulnerable, but there is a component which is outdated, that is a problem, even though I don't use that component.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

"WhiteSource helped reduce our mean time to resolution since the adoption of the product."
"The tool is now a mandatory part of our organization to use as a benchmark, giving us a technical advantage."
"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."
"We set the solution up and enabled it and we had everything running pretty quickly."
"We use this solution for scanning NodeJS and Maven projects during the CI/CD processes, running hundreds of scans per day on any project that passes the release build, so every release build runs the WhiteSource scan before deployment to production clusters, which ensures that we are covered in terms of licenses for open source dependencies."
"Scanning and collecting third-party libraries and classifying license types ensures our third-party software policy is followed and that we’re not using forbidden libraries."
"The most valuable feature is the unified JAR to scan for all langs (wss-scanner jar)."
"The inventory management as well as the ability to identify security vulnerabilities has been the most valuable for our business."
"The most valuable feature of ReShaper is that it provides continuously scanning of the data in real-time. ReShaper has a really good mechanism and process, they have a decent system."
"It comes with many features and supports almost all of the coding languages available."
"Once you get used to working with the ReShaper, you can't get enough of it."
 

Cons

"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."
"With respect to improvements with Mend.io, as I mentioned, today it is not supporting the threat intelligence."
"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."
"The UI is not that friendly and you need to learn how to navigate easily."
"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."
"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."
"AI integration in code security tools like Mend.io is still in its early stages and relatively immature."
"ReShaper could improve by increasing the performance of the scans. Their application is taking too much CPU. The processing is taking too many CPU resources which causes the system to slow down."
"When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution involves a yearly licensing fee."
"The version that we are using, WhiteSource Bolt, is a free integration with Azure DevOps."
"Pricing is competitive."
"As we were using an SaaS-based service, the solution must be scalable, although my understanding is that this is based on the licensing model one is using."
"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."
"Mend is costly but not overly expensive. The license was quite expensive this year, but we managed to negotiate the price down to the same as last year. At the same time, it's a good value. We're getting what we're paying for and still not using all the features. We could probably get more out of the tool and make it more valuable. At the moment, we don't have the capacity to do that."
"This is an expensive solution."
"When comparing the price of WhiteSource to the competition it is priced well. The cost for 50 users is approximately $18,000 annually."
"As far as I know, the licensing isn't very cheap."
