"We didn't have a central inventory to quickly identify issues or determine how many products were affected. Now under Black Duck, it's all consolidated. You search for a component and immediately see which products use it."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scanning, and that it's easy to use."
"The stability is okay."
"It highlights what the developers have done, and it shows the impact from an intellectual property point of view."
"The UI is the solution's most valuable feature since it allows for easy pipeline integration."
"The cloud option of the product is always available and a positive aspect of the solution."
"The solution works well on Mac products."
"It had a web interface into the reporting tools that was decent, and open source components could be reported per project and/or aggregated similar to other software composition tools."
"The documentation is quite scattered."
"The initial setup could be simplified. It was somewhat complex."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing. Its configuration is complex and can be improved."
"I would like to see improvements in Black Duck's reporting capabilities."
"The product's pricing is higher compared to other competitor products."
"We're not too sure about the extension of the firewall. It never shows up in the Hub."
"Black Duck can improve the time it takes for a scan. Most of the time it's not ideal when integrated with the live DevSecOps pipeline. We have to create a separate job to scan the library because it takes a couple of hours to scan all those libraries. The scanning could be faster."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions, such as IntelliJ IDEA."
"I found the user interface cumbersome and difficult to use."
