Mokshi Pandita - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Yogeswaran Neelagandan - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers risk prioritization , notification system but support should be bundled with the product cost
It's a fantastic product, but there are some things to consider. One is the price. Compared to on-prem solutions, the SaaS model can be expensive. Price is definitely a concern and needs improvement, especially for the Indian market. While it's a fantastic product, it should be more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Currently, only larger enterprises seem to be able to afford and evaluate it thoroughly. So, pricing can be improved and be more affordable for the Indian market, specifically for SMBs. Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot. Even for a simple one-time setup, they may charge three to four lakhs, and then additional annual charges for ongoing support. We have the technical skills to handle basic tasks, but relying on Tenable itself often results in just receiving emails or being redirected back to channel partners. So, support should be bundled with the product cost.
