"The solution is stable."
"Policy management is a valuable feature."
"We accidentally use third-party library APIs, which may not be secure. Our technical team may not have the end time or expertise to figure it out. Black Duck helps us with that and saves us time."
"The knowledge base and the management system are the most valuable features of Black Duck Hub. It has a very helpful management environment. They offer an editor where we can check the discovered license, which is retrieved from their knowledge base. They have a huge knowledge base build over the years. It gives you some possibilities, such as this license with possibility A could cause a vulnerability issue or a potential breach."
"The product enables other applications to be secure."
"Black Duck is pretty extensive in terms of the scan reserves and the vulnerability exposures. From that perspective, I'm happy with it."
"The UI is the solution's most valuable feature since it allows for easy pipeline integration."
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
"It's still a bit inconsistent. For example, if I scan today, it might not show the same results tomorrow."
"Due to the fact that, with our software developer life cycle, we don't need to scan our source code every day or every week. For that reason, we find the cost is too high. We might only actually use it five to ten times a year, which makes it expensive."
"The scanner client is limited by the size of software it can handle."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions, such as IntelliJ IDEA."
"We're not too sure about the extension of the firewall. It never shows up in the Hub."
"It needs to be more user-friendly for developers and in general, to ensure compliance."
"We have been having some issues with the latest releases where we are not able to scan our applications with the help of Black Duck."
"They are giving a lot of APIs and Python scripts for certain functionalities, but instead of using APIs and Python scripts, they should provide these functionalities through the UI. Users should be able to customize and add more fields through the UI. Users should be able to add more fields and generate reports. Currently, they are not giving flexibility in the UI. They're providing a script that simply generates an Excel file or CSV file. There is no flexibility."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
