We performed a comparison between JFrog Xray and Mend.io based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Composition Analysis (SCA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable and reliable."
"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code."
"I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes."
"If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first."
"The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."
"JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."
"Good reporting functionalities."
"The best feature is that the Mend R&D team does their due diligence for all the vulnerabilities. In case they observe any important or critical vulnerabilities, such as the Log4j-related vulnerability, we usually get a dedicated email from our R&D team saying that this particular vulnerability has been exploited in the world, and we should definitely check our project for this and take corrective actions."
"The most valuable features are the reporting, customizing libraries "In-house, White list, license selection", comparing the products/projects, and License & Copyright resolution."
"The most valuable feature is the inventory, where it compiles a list of all of the third-party libraries that we have on our estate."
"We set the solution up and enabled it and we had everything running pretty quickly."
"For us, the most valuable tool was open-source licensing analysis."
"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."
"What is very nice is that the product is very easy to set up. When you want to implement Mend.io, it just takes a few minutes to create your organization, create your products, and scan them. It's really convenient to have Mend scanning your products in less than one hour."
"With the fix suggestions feature, not only do you get the specific trace back to where the vulnerability is within your code, but you also get fix suggestions."
"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."
"I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."
"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."
"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."
"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."
"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."
"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."
"The UI is not that friendly and you need to learn how to navigate easily."
"We specifically use this solution within our CICD pipelines in Azure DevOps, and we would like to have a gate so that if the score falls below a certain value then we can block the pipeline from running."
"WhiteSource only produces a report, which is nice to look at. However, you have to check that report every week, to see if something was found that you don't want. It would be great if the build that's generating a report would fail if it finds a very important vulnerability, for instance."
"The solution lacks the code snippet part."
"We have been looking at how we could improve the automation to human involvement ratio from 60:40 to 70:30, or even potentially 80:20, as there is room for improvement here. We are discussing this internally and with Mend; they are very accommodating to us. We think they openly receive our feedback and do their best to implement our thoughts into the roadmap."
"I would like to see the static analysis included with the open-source version."
"Needs better ACL and more role definitions. This product could be used by large organisations and it definitely needs a better role/action model."
"At times, the latency of getting items out of the findings after they're remediated is higher than it should be."
