Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
I like the fact that the product auto analyzes components. It highlights what the developers have done, and it shows the impact from an intellectual property point of view. | The dashboard and interface make it easy to use. |
Cons | |
The scanner client is limited by the size of software it can handle. I would like to see more integration with other solutions, such as IntelliJ IDEA. | GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Depending on the use case, the cost could range from $10,000 USD to $70,000 USD. | Information Not Available |
