Manjunath Maneppagol - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud & Application Security at Sixt SE
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.

Centralized visibility has improved shipment traceability and streamlines partner collaboration
Overall, I have had a positive experience with TraceLink, but there are always a few opportunities for improvement. One area would be making the dashboard more customizable so different teams can focus on the metrics that matter most to them. I would also like to see more advanced reporting and analytics with easier report creation. While the platform is already intuitive, simplifying a few workflows for new users could reduce the onboarding time even further. Finally, expanding the integration with additional ERP, WMS, and transportation management systems would make data sharing even more seamless across the supply chain. These are relatively minor enhancements and overall, the platform has been reliable and valuable for our operations. One additional improvement I would like to suggest is providing more personalized dashboards and notification settings for different user roles. Operations, logistics, and management teams often need different information. Having more flexibility would improve the user experience. I would also like to see more AI-driven insights that can predict potential supply chain disruptions and recommend actions before the issues escalate. Finally, adding more interactive training resources and in-app guidance would help new users become productive even faster. These are enhancements rather than major concerns, and overall, I found the platform to be really reliable, easy to use, and very effective for improving supply chain visibility and collaboration.

Cons

"Regarding improvements for Semgrep, I have noticed that it occasionally provides false positive results, although it does not happen consistently."
"Semgrep can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"However, as a tool it is really complex to maintain and to use, and it has a huge price tag."

"I give Semgrep a six out of 10 simply because there are other tools that are better than this out there."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, I have had a positive experience with TraceLink, but there are always a few opportunities for improvement."
"In my opinion, a faster onboarding process when a new user onboards and uses TraceLink would be very helpful."
"To improve TraceLink, I think they first need to have a customer call center where people can call in to follow up on issues."
