"CAST Highlight is easy to use and has a good dashboard."
"The way it tells you which codebase is more ready for the cloud and which codebase is less ready is very valuable. It works seamlessly with most languages."
"It offers good performance."
"The most valuable features of CAST Highlight are automation and speed."
"The solution is scalable."
"The reporting capability gives us the option to generate an open-source license report in a single click, which gets all copyright and license information, including dependencies."
"We can take some measures to improve things, replace a library, or update a library which was too old or showed severe bugs."
"Its ease of use and good results are the most valuable."
"For us, the most valuable tool was open-source licensing analysis."
"The inventory management as well as the ability to identify security vulnerabilities has been the most valuable for our business."
"Our dev team uses the fix suggestions feature to quickly find the best path for remediation."
"The overall support that we receive is pretty good. "
"The ease of configuration and customization could be improved in CAST Highlight."
"CAST Highlight could improve to allow us to comment and do a deep analysis by ourselves."
"Its price should be better. It is a pretty costly tool. They have two products: CAST Highlight and CAST AIP. I would expect CAST Highlight to have the Help dashboard and the Engineering dashboard. These dashboards are currently a part of CAST AIP, and if these are made available in CAST Highlight, customers won't have to use two different products all the time."
"There's a bit of a learning curve at the outset."
"The reports that describe the issues of concern are rather abstract and the issues should be more clearly described to the user."
"It would be nice to have a better way to realize its full potential and translate it within the UI or during onboarding."
"It should support multiple SBOM formats to be able to integrate with old industry standards."
"The dashboard UI and UX are problematic."
"The only thing that I don't find support for on Mend Prioritize is C++."
"At times, the latency of getting items out of the findings after they're remediated is higher than it should be."
"It would be good if it can do dynamic code analysis. It is not necessarily in that space, but it can do more because we have too many tools. Their partner relationship support is a little bit confusing. They haven't really streamlined the support process when we buy through a reseller. They should improve their process."
"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."
"Make the product available in a very stable way for other web browsers."
