Context-aware code analysis has reduced noise and now improves developer experience with actionable security findings
I have consistently observed that their scan time is an issue for mono repos. Sometimes with their AI-based scanning, when you triage that scan, the scan never completes or finishes(, which makes it difficult. Another consistent issue is that whenever you have a new repo to onboard to the platform, the tool ideally should detect the master branch by default. However, sometimes the tool fails to identify it and will never scan it unless manually somebody looks into it and fixes the issue. Although their support team is really good, this issue was present six or eight months ago during the POC and is still present now. If it is affecting multiple customers, it should be prioritized and fixed. I would say that their integration aspects could have been improved. I see a lot of different security solutions that provide flexibility to the security teams based on Jira project, team divisions, Slack, and all those can be very much easily customized. Semgrep needs to work on the enhancement of their notification capabilities. Currently, they are working on identifying business logic vulnerabilities or privilege escalation vulnerabilities by looking at the code, and they should continue to focus on and improve this effort. Regarding stability, whenever you have a mono-repo which is a very large repository, the scan never finishes or the scan never kicks in. At that time, you have to reach out to the support team and ask them to expand the resources in the back end to fix it. This is an issue I keep seeing often on that platform.

Serialization platform has secured our supply chain and enables proactive compliance monitoring
TraceLink is currently transitioning from their classic portal to the Opus platform, which is very rigid and designed for future expansion, indicating specific improvements that have been seen since using TraceLink. Currently, TraceLink's AI has a generative approach, and they are working on qualifying and certifying an AI approach with the ISO team, which is still in progress, so a comment cannot be made at this time. The AI capabilities are not yet released and are under qualification, so updates regarding their accuracy and reliability of output will have to be awaited. TraceLink is always the preferred choice. The overall rating given to TraceLink is nine out of ten.

Pros

"The best part of Semgrep is its ease of integration with CI/CD pipelines and how it is a developer-friendly tool."
"Compared to other competitors in the market, the AI-backed capability is the biggest strength of Semgrep."
"Semgrep flourishes with the SAST, secret scanning, and Software Composition Analysis types of scanning."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write our custom rules."
"TraceLink has impacted our organization positively since we have to use serialization software, and TraceLink is the best solution in the market."
"After integrating TraceLink, we were able to reduce our operation timeline by six months, which was a very fruitful outcome."
"While I could work with another competitor to TraceLink, I think TraceLink has been doing a good job, and people tend to use them."
"Since using TraceLink, I have seen improvements in efficiency and compliance."
"TraceLink is vital for us because we cannot produce any product for our client, the MAH, without the TraceLink connection."
"TraceLink has positively impacted my organization because everything is transparent, allowing us to easily track orders customer-wise and verify serial number statuses, confirming whether serial numbers are assigned or not."
"Among those features, I find that serial number exchange and operation management stand out as most valuable for my team because they made our daily work much easier."
"Compared to all other ATTP and RFXA applications, I prefer TraceLink because it is excellent for troubleshooting, serialization events, and reconciliation activities."
 

Cons

"However, as a tool it is really complex to maintain and to use, and it has a huge price tag."
"I have consistently observed that their scan time is an issue; sometimes with their AI-based scanning, when you triage that scan, the scan never completes or finishes, which makes it difficult."
"There should be more information on how to acquire the system, catering to beginners in application security, to make it more user-friendly."
"I give Semgrep a six out of 10 simply because there are other tools that are better than this out there."
"In my opinion, a faster onboarding process when a new user onboards and uses TraceLink would be very helpful."
"Sometimes the receipt of an order during outbound delivery creation times leads TraceLink to get stuck, stating it cannot communicate with the server, which I believe is an issue from TraceLink's end."
"TraceLink can be improved by having an option in the UI to raise support cases instead of only via email using case@tracelink.com."
"To improve TraceLink, I think they first need to have a customer call center where people can call in to follow up on issues."
