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of the library but only a portion of it and that portion is not vulnerable, but there is a component which is outdated, that is a problem, even though I don't use that component.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

Long-term endpoint security has protected our organization from ransomware and data loss
Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications Collaboration is not something we are currently using. We are not using FireEye Email Security right now. We are not using the cloud version of this product. It is not difficult to manage because our team is very well trained and aware of Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications endpoint security because we have been using it for more than 20 years. Our team is very well trained on the endpoint security. However, because we have a very distributed architecture of our organization, it is very difficult to change or replace on laptop or desktop computers. At most, only two or three engineers are involved. Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications is very robust and easy to handle data loss protection, which are very good features. We are also using Fortinet products. The vendor team is also monitoring and does proactive measures to protect from ransomware and other security threats. We have a service level agreement with the local vendor to maintain the solution and solve other issues. The overall review rating for this product is 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The vulnerability analysis is the best aspect of the solution."
"We find licenses together with WhiteSource which are associated with a certain library, then we get a classification of the license. This is with respect to criticality and vulnerability, so we could take action and improve some things, or replace a third-party library which seems to be too risky for us to use on legal grounds."
"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 most valuable features are the reporting, customizing libraries "In-house, White list, license selection", comparing the products/projects, and License & Copyright resolution."
"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."
"Mend.io is a security tool that provides security feedback for all tests."
"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."
"The best feature is that the Mend R&D team does their due diligence for all the vulnerabilities. In case they observe any important or critical vulnerabilities, such as the Log4j-related vulnerability, we usually get a dedicated email from our R&D team saying that this particular vulnerability has been exploited in the world, and we should definitely check our project for this and take corrective actions."
"We actually saw reduced incidents with Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications, and it has reduced the response time for us because if there is a detection of high severity, Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications detects it quickly and we are able to respond to it promptly."
"Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications has positively impacted my organization over the past four years, serving as one of the best security tools I have used."
"Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications is very robust and easy to handle data loss protection, which are very good features."
"Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications positively impacts my organization by increasing security and reducing time, especially by using threat intelligence to validate signatures across all platforms, thus minimizing manual work."
 

Cons

"The pricing model needs some changes."
"We wanted to have certain reports based on our kind of scenario, but the tool did not allow us to create custom reports."
"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 dashboard UI and UX are problematic."
"We have more than 500 projects, and it doubled or tripled the build time."
"WhiteSource needs improvement in the scanning of the containers and images with distinguishing the layers."
"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."
"I think Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications can be improved by adding more involvement of artificial intelligence."
"Overall I find the platform useful; however, there should be ease of navigation and more actionable reporting to make investigations faster and the overall experience more efficient."
"Customer support for Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications is very good in theory. However, you must follow up with them for weeks and weeks for a single issue."
"The weak side is that it sometimes slows down the desktop computer or laptop computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of WhiteSource to the competition it is priced well. The cost for 50 users is approximately $18,000 annually."
"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."
"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."
"WhiteSource is much more affordable than Veracode."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution involves a yearly licensing fee."
"Pricing is competitive."
"It is fairly priced."
