| CEO at VIVANS | 4.0 | We use Sonatype Repository Firewall to prevent malicious packages in Nexus Repository, as it supports accurate detection via its database. While lacking in container and AI support, improvements are expected in 2025. Alternatives are limited to Gather. |

| Senior Cyber Security Architect and Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | No summary available |
| Student at a university with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I find Sonatype Repository Firewall valuable for vulnerability and security assessments, with strong network and intrusion protection features as well as compliance rules. However, improvements are needed in file systems, and a zero test feature should be included. |
