An intelligent solution that prioritizes which vulnerability to target first in your project

We could create any number of repositories, but we can create only thirty projects with JFrog Xray. If I want things to work, it has to be one project and multiple repositories that belong to different real projects. So I have a limitation of thirty projects, despite being a premium customer. JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard. Although I am able to generate reports, there is no proper dashboard where I can see the total number of vulnerabilities, the total number of license issues, and how many vulnerabilities are fixed. Second, I found the shift left approach missing with JFrog Xray. JFrog Xray has integration with IDEs, but it does not tell you about the vulnerabilities until the artifact is created. However, Snyk could directly integrate with your repository and would not allow you to build unless you fix the problem.

More Tanium pros

Cons

"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."

"The out-of-the-box PostgreSQL provided is not stable, which is why we are considering enterprise support."

"X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL."

"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."

"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."

"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's documentation and error logging could be improved."

"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."

More JFrog Xray cons

"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."

"The solution lacks mobility."

"Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

"They could improve the UI."

"We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade."

"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."

"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."

"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
