I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten. The solution is suitable for enterprises.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten.

There are around 30 to 50 users of the solution in my company.

The product is pretty scalable. It depends on the licensing model. We had negotiated a license model that was fit for our needs. Then, we added more applications as we grew. The tool provides both the on-premise and the cloud solution. We chose the cloud solution. We wanted the tool for internal use within our organization. We had more than 250 business units.

The solution is scalable. We have different departments and it is easy to process change orders or add users. 

The scalability is rated an eight out of ten. 

Black Duck is scalable.

In terms of scalability, we are a small team so we have never tried with too many users. We only have one user and have used this for two or three customers in South Africa. I think that it is pretty scalable, but the limitation comes from the pricing and licensing agreement.

Beyond the licensing, you might be limited by your hardware capacity. I think that it starts off with 16GB RAM and four cores minimum, but if there are more people on it then you might need to expand the resources. 

Because it is on the cloud, it is scalable. We have quite a significant number of users. Our users might be in the hundreds.

It is a very small group of people who are using this solution in our organization.

My team is the open-source program office and we have three people who are using Black Duck and the other teams would be in the range of fewer than 20 people.

From the company side, it's super scalable, but from the client's side, it's not that scalable. The issue with scalability is that if you have reserved 100 megabytes on Black Duck Hub, and eventually, you like to use 200 or 300 megabytes, the pricing policy requires extending your product permanently. This is really painful because you just need instant access to the higher, bigger space, but you don't want to buy it permanently. They should give the possibility to extend instantly by 50% or 80% more for a week or two weeks. This is quite common, and I have seen many cloud providers that let you pay instantly for a limited time, and you have the possibility to use a little bit more.

I have a team of six users who use Black Duck for the discovery, but the results are forwarded to many more things.

Scalability is quite good, because they manage to support a range of scales, but it's not unlimited. We can scan six in a row with no problem, but there might be some delay. This is the threshold that we set, we don't scan more than six at once. It's a good product for enterprise companies and smaller ones too, although it is quite expensive for a small company. 

The number of people we have using Black Duck at any time is on a project-by-project basis. We probably have around 500 users, although they do not use it on a continuous basis. The usage is based on the number of requests. For some projects, it will be used just one time, and that's it. 

Not everyone uses the solution at our company. Mainly, just developers use it, and we have about 60 people on it. 

The tool is scalable. 

I can't comment on the scalability. I've never personally tried to scale the solution.

Currently, we have 300-400 people using it in our organization.

The number of users on the project depends on the license and the project.
