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of the library but only a portion of it and that portion is not vulnerable, but there is a component which is outdated, that is a problem, even though I don't use that component.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

"In my opinion, it is the best because with respect to the scan coverage, it is giving basically all the components we are looking for and all the requirements we require, and compared to other tools, especially in terms of identifying and integrating into our DevSecOps and CI/CD, Mend.io is compatible, with good integration coverage across all the technologies it supports and a relatively low noise ratio with accurate issues and useful customization options."
"I would recommend using WhiteSource."
"The solution boasts a broad range of features and covers much of what an ideal SCA tool should."
"With the fix suggestions feature, not only do you get the specific trace back to where the vulnerability is within your code, but you also get fix suggestions."
"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."
"Attribution and license due diligence reports help us with aggregating the necessary data that we, in turn, have to provide to satisfy the various licenses copyright and component usage disclosures in our software."
"The most valuable features are the reporting, customizing libraries "In-house, White list, license selection", comparing the products/projects, and License & Copyright resolution."
"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."
"Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications is very robust and easy to handle data loss protection, which are very good features."
"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 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."
"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."
 

Cons

"WhiteSource needs improvement in the scanning of the containers and images with distinguishing the layers."
"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."
"I rated the solution an eight out of ten because WhiteSource hasn't built in a couple of features that we would have loved to use and they say they're on their roadmap. I'm hoping that they'll be able to build and deliver in 2022."
"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."
"The pricing model needs some changes."
"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."
"Up until now, we were convinced that the return of investment was not really the case."
"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."
"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."
"I think Trellix IVX for Enterprise Applications can be improved by adding more involvement of artificial intelligence."
"The weak side is that it sometimes slows down the desktop computer or laptop computer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."
"Pricing is competitive."
"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."
"We are paying a lot of money to use WhiteSource. In our company, it is not easy to argue that it is worth the price. ​"
"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."
"The solution involves a yearly licensing fee."
"When comparing the price of WhiteSource to the competition it is priced well. The cost for 50 users is approximately $18,000 annually."
