Find out what your peers are saying about Synopsys, Snyk, Veracode and others in Software Composition Analysis (SCA)."The solution is stable."
"Policy management is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scanning, and that it's easy to use."
"I like the fact that the product auto analyzes components."
"The cloud option of the product is always available and a positive aspect of the solution."
"The product enables other applications to be secure."
"Black Duck is pretty extensive in terms of the scan reserves and the vulnerability exposures. From that perspective, I'm happy with it."
"The most valuable feature for me in Black Duck is its ability to scan binary files effectively."
"The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild."
"As far as the malware repository is concerned, it's extensive. It's a good source for finding samples, where we are unable to find them on other channels or by leveraging other sources."
"As far as static analysis information is concerned, we use most of the information that is available in order to determine whether or not we might be dealing with a malware variant. This includes information that is related to Java rules. This is also related to malware families indicated or specific malicious software variants that are labeled by name."
"It offers reports on a great many more file types than the other analysis solutions we have. It can give us a more in-depth analysis and better reporting on a larger number of file types. It also gives us a more comprehensive score on a number of things as well, and that's why we're using it as a front-end filter. It gives us more information... It's valuable because of its depth of information, as well as the breadth it gives us. There aren't a lot of tools that cover all of the different file types."
"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."
"The scanner client is limited by the size of software it can handle."
"We're not too sure about the extension of the firewall. It never shows up in the Hub."
"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."
"They are giving a lot of APIs and Python scripts for certain functionalities, but instead of using APIs and Python scripts, they should provide these functionalities through the UI. Users should be able to customize and add more fields through the UI. Users should be able to add more fields and generate reports. Currently, they are not giving flexibility in the UI. They're providing a script that simply generates an Excel file or CSV file. There is no flexibility."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing. Its configuration is complex and can be improved."
"The product's pricing is higher compared to other competitor products."
"It's still a bit inconsistent. For example, if I scan today, it might not show the same results tomorrow."
"It needs to be more user-friendly for developers and in general, to ensure compliance."
"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets. Right now, I can only do them individually."
"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."
"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality."
"We would really like further integration with our threat intelligence platform, which is called ThreatConnect. We would also really like further integrations with an endpoint protection product we use called Tanium. The reason I mentioned both of these is that ReversingLabs claims to have extensive integrations with both of them, but they did not work for us."
"The solution needs to improve integrations."
