"Attribution and license due diligence reports help us with aggregating the necessary data that we, in turn, have to provide to satisfy the various licenses copyright and component usage disclosures in our software."
"We can take some measures to improve things, replace a library, or update a library which was too old or showed severe bugs."
"Mend has reduced our open-source software vulnerabilities and helped us remediate issues quickly. My company's policy is to ensure that vulnerabilities are fixed before it gets to production."
"Qualys' process of updating signatures is something we really appreciate, and it's way ahead of its industry peers."
"Licensing is the most valuable. Qualys provides the best licensing for companies. It is the best product for the development purposes of web applications. The product has a lot of integrations."
"It is easy to use."
"You can integrate your Burp Suite results and create an integrated report. Also, the way it shows the results - threats and exploit details - makes remediation very easy."
"The product prevents possible vulnerabilities in our network."
"Its most valuable features are patch management, vulnerability management, and PCI compliance."

"The only thing that I don't find support for on Mend Prioritize is C++."
"The turnaround time for upgrading databases for this tool as well as the accuracy could be improved."
"It should support multiple SBOM formats to be able to integrate with old industry standards."
"I would like to see the static analysis included with the open-source version."
"Mend lets you create custom policies. They're not too complicated to set up, but it would be helpful if they had some preconfigured policies to match what we have in Azure DevOps. That would save us a lot of time. It's tedious to configure the policies manually, and I lack the capacity to do it right now. Other products have preconfigured packs and templates, and Mend doesn't."
"The pricing does not seem to be competitive."
"In certain cases, this product does have false positives, which the company should work on."
"Sometimes the response time is low because the handshake fails, and then you have to re-login and start again."
"We receive false positives sometimes when using a solution that could be improved. However, the technical team provides us with the exact explanation why it was giving us that kind of error."
"We procured around 110 licenses for Web Application Scanning, but we have issues running concurrent scans. I don't currently have the option to trigger scans for all 100-plus websites. The default limit is around 10 conference scans. It's not very scalable, to be honest, because of the limitation that they put on concurrent scans."
"The software’s pricing could be improved."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The reporting contains too many false positives."
