We performed a comparison between CodeSentry and Mend.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Synopsys, Snyk, Veracode and others in Software Composition Analysis (SCA)."The product's most valuable feature is the CWE ratio."
"For us, the most valuable tool was open-source licensing analysis."
"Enables scanning/collecting third-party libraries and classifying license types. In this way we ensure our third-party software policy is followed."
"Its ease of use and good results are the most valuable."
"We can take some measures to improve things, replace a library, or update a library which was too old or showed severe bugs."
"We find licenses together with WhiteSource which are associated with a certain library, then we get a classification of the license. This is with respect to criticality and vulnerability, so we could take action and improve some things, or replace a third-party library which seems to be too risky for us to use on legal grounds."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the unified JAR to scan for all langs (wss-scanner jar)."
"The results and the dashboard they provide are good."
"The product's installation speed needs improvement. It should be less than 30 to 45 minutes."
"They're working on a UI refresh. That's probably been one of the pain points for us as it feels like a really old application."
"We have ended our relationship with WhiteSource. We were using an agent that we built in the pipeline so that you can scan the projects during build time. But unfortunately, that agent didn't work at all. We have more than 500 projects, and it doubled or tripled the build time. For other projects, we had the failure of the builds without any known reason. It was not usable at all. We spent maybe one year working on the issues to try to make it work, but it didn't in the end. We should be able to integrate it with ID and Shift Left so that the developers are able to see the scan results without waiting for the build to fail."
"Some detected libraries do not specify a location of where in the source they were matched from, which is something that should be enhanced to enable quicker troubleshooting."
"It should support multiple SBOM formats to be able to integrate with old industry standards."
"The dashboard UI and UX are problematic."
"If anything, I would spend more time making this more user-friendly, better documenting the CLI, and adding more examples to help expand the current documentation."
"The only thing that I don't find support for on Mend Prioritize is C++."
"On the reporting side, they could make some improvements. They are making the reports better and better, but sometimes it takes a lot of time to generate a report for our entire organization."
