|---|---|---|
| CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I found Mend.io highly efficient for managing dependencies and SCA, with excellent accuracy and automation, though it lacked custom reporting and had minor documentation issues; overall, I’d rate it a strong nine out of ten. |
| VP at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.0 | I've used Mend.io for seven years for open-source security and license compliance; it's easy to use and integrates well, but reporting lacks AI, pricing is high, and response times have slowed—overall, I rate it eight out of ten. |
| CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | We use Mend.io with our CI/CD tools like Concourse and Jenkins for managing dependencies and detecting vulnerabilities across multiple languages. While the tool is low-cost and effective, we considered consolidating tools with Snyk for broader functionality. |
| Principal Architect at a consultancy with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | I work with Mend.io in industries like retail and hospitality. It's a security tool offering feedback on tests and supports Application Security, SCA, SAST, and container scanning. The main challenge is cost and integration in early software development stages. |
| Product Security Architect at Pitney Bowes Inc. | 5.0 | I use Mend.io to identify open-source library vulnerabilities and licensing issues. Its notification feature for critical vulnerabilities is valuable. I'd like a compliance pack for frameworks like CIS or NIST. The ROI is evident in enhanced security. |
| Sr. Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | Mend effectively reduced our open-source vulnerabilities, improved code quality, and streamlined releases with proactive scanning and GitHub integration. Its scalability is excellent, and while some package managers aren't supported, the vendor is responsive. |
| System Manager of Cloud Engineering at Common Spirit | 4.5 | I consider Mend (formerly WhiteSource) an essential, easy-to-use solution for OSS visibility and governance, effectively finding vulnerabilities, integrating into our pipelines, and significantly improving security. While its pricing is aggressive and there's some latency post-remediation, support is stellar. |
| Release Manager at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees | 4.5 | We use Mend.io to efficiently detect and fix vulnerabilities in our products, benefiting from its ease of setup and numerous integrations. Improvements are needed in reporting features and UI, but overall, it provides significant time and resource savings. |
