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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"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 features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."

"Good reporting functionalities."

"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."

"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."

More JFrog Xray pros

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."

"I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features."

"The security features are very valuable."

"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."

"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."

More Tanium pros

Cons

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

"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."

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

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

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

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

"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."

More JFrog Xray cons

"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."

"The solution lacks mobility."

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

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

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

"The reporting could be improved."

"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."

"They could improve the UI."
