Find out what your peers are saying about Synopsys, Snyk, Veracode and others in Software Composition Analysis (SCA)."I like the fact that the product auto analyzes components."
"Policy management is a valuable feature."
"Black Duck is pretty extensive in terms of the scan reserves and the vulnerability exposures. From that perspective, I'm happy with it."
"The installation is very easy."
"The solution is very good at scanning and evaluating open source software."
"It is able to drill down to the source level."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Black Duck is the seamless integration to scan our Docker binary files, it provides us all open vulnerabilities, and it ensures a reference point from where it finds the vulnerability is up to date. For example, if there is any new vulnerability found, they are immediately available in the Black Duck. There is no delay in finding the vulnerabilities, they are called out in our code immediately."
"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 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."
"The documentation is quite scattered."
"The scanner client is limited by the size of software it can handle."
"The solution's pricing model and documentation areas of concern where improvement is needed."
"Due to the fact that, with our software developer life cycle, we don't need to scan our source code every day or every week. For that reason, we find the cost is too high. We might only actually use it five to ten times a year, which makes it expensive."
"We have been having some issues with the latest releases where we are not able to scan our applications with the help of Black Duck."
"I would like to see more integration with other solutions, such as IntelliJ IDEA."
"I found the user interface cumbersome and difficult to use."
