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of the library but only a portion of it and that portion is not vulnerable, but there is a component which is outdated, that is a problem, even though I don't use that component.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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We set the solution up and enabled it and we had everything running pretty quickly."
"We’ve seen a terrific ROI."
"WhiteSource allowed us to minimize our exposure to open-source vulnerabilities with ease."
"It saves a lot of money with early fixing."
"It gives us full visibility into what we're using, what needs to be updated, and what's vulnerable, which helps us make better decisions."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the reporting, customizing libraries "In-house, White list, license selection", comparing the products/projects, and License & Copyright resolution."
"I am quite happy with WhiteSource; it is very good and provides many things, including extensive reports involving vulnerabilities."
"Once you get used to working with the ReShaper, you can't get enough of it."
"It comes with many features and supports almost all of the coding languages available."
"The most valuable feature of ReShaper is that it provides continuously scanning of the data in real-time. ReShaper has a really good mechanism and process, they have a decent system."
 

Cons

"The tools need to bring down the pricing because software in SaaS or on-prem is becoming a more expensive affair."
"The turnaround time for upgrading databases for this tool as well as the accuracy could be improved."
"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."
"Up until now, we were convinced that the return of investment was not really the case."
"Make the product available in a very stable way for other web browsers."
"It would be nice to have a better way to realize its full potential and translate it within the UI or during onboarding."
"Needs better ACL and more role definitions. This product could be used by large organisations and it definitely needs a better role/action model."
"We wanted to have certain reports based on our kind of scenario, but the tool did not allow us to create custom reports."
"When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times."
"ReShaper could improve by increasing the performance of the scans. Their application is taking too much CPU. The processing is taking too many CPU resources which causes the system to slow down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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. ​"
"It is fairly priced."
"When comparing the price of WhiteSource to the competition it is priced well. The cost for 50 users is approximately $18,000 annually."
"The version that we are using, WhiteSource Bolt, is a free integration with Azure DevOps."
"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."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution involves a yearly licensing fee."
"As far as I know, the licensing isn't very cheap."
