Sonatype Platform is complete tool for Software Composition Analysis. Allows policy enforcement at full SDLC which helps organizations identify and manage open-source components and dependencies, along with policy for licenses and also has additional feature for firewall. But …
Azure DevOps works well when you’ve got larger delivery efforts with multiple teams and a lot of moving parts, and you need one place to plan work, track it properly, and see how everything links together. It’s especially useful when delivery and development are closely tied and you want backlog items, code and releases connected rather than spread across tools. Where it’s less of a fit is for small teams or simple pieces of work, as it can feel like more setup and process than you really need, and non-technical users often struggle with the interface. It also isn’t great if you want instant, easy programme-level views or a very visual planning experience without putting time into configuration.
In assess, it does a whitebox and blackbox testing of the ERP systems that have been added to the Onapsis console. It highlights relevant application issues and automates the process, also provides the solutions to implement the fix. In comply, it provides a governance on the various regulatory compliances which the firm has to follow, as well as provides a firm grip to the audit and ERP admin team. In control, it enables a workflow of 15 pre-defined parameter values within the SAP system and helps monitor, and track the changes made to those parameters. The capabilities are to either block, or request for an approval for changes made to those parameters in addition to just monitoring them. In defend, it goes through the SAP logs; and compares it with a pre-defined ruleset to alert the end-users via email or SIEM tool or both.
- Guidance on remediation is very good - Vulnerability detection is very good - Support is very good - Ability to ask PMs/POs open questions at Office Hours every month is very good - Support for languages is lacking (TIOBE Index Top20) - Some features are un-neededly hidden and make the usage more complex then it needs to be
Eliminating the manual process improves the overall accuracy of results and also frees up valuable resources to focus on other different projects.
Onapsis provides great leverage to our technical teams in order to review in a standardized way of the landscape.
Onapsis always matches vulnerabilities with useful context and finds possible solutions.
Onapsis is usually implemented to continuously monitor, and alert us on any issues on the SAP systems. Not only this but implementing Onapsis also eliminates the network on the year-end and month-end audits and helps in making the overall process faster, smooth, efficient as well as accurate.
Nexus firewall is a great feature enabled for all our proxy repositories which are used to download the third-party opensource packages.
Nexus IQ is integrated with build stage to analyze the component against evaluation policy. This helps to figure out the application security standards.
Nexus IQ is also having a feature to scan container images before it uploads to our private repository. This is great feature for container platforms.
I did mention it has good visibility in terms of linking, but sometimes items do get lost, so if there was a better way to manage that, that would be great.
The wiki is not the prettiest thing to look at, so it could have refinements there.
I don't think our organization will stray from using VSTS/TFS as we are now looking to upgrade to the 2012 version. Since our business is software development and we want to meet the requirements of CMMI to deliver consistent and high quality software, this SDLC management tool is here to stay. In addition, our company uses a lot of Microsoft products, such as Office 365, Asp.net, etc, and since VSTS/TFS has proved itself invaluable to our own processes and is within the Microsoft family of products, we will continue to use VSTS/TFS for a long, long time.
Sonatype supports more than 200 dev(s). It proves with the repository to store the artifacts. Allows for governance of open source software used by the different teams. It is used by security teams to scan for vulnerabilities in software(s) and in the deployed containers. It helps ensure code quality.
It's a great help to get more information about new feature release and stay updated on what the dev team is working on. I like how easy it is to just login and read through the work items. Each work item has basic details: Title, Description, Assigned to, State, Area (what it belongs to), and iteration (when it’s worked on). See image above.They move through different states (New → Discovery → Ready for Prod → etc.).
Overall experience is great with the Platform; however, I see some opportunity with upgrading the platform as it is missing with data of historical scans to allow reviewer to get view of trend how the application/product development team is considering fixing the issues.
Sonatype products are great value as I said but a few areas like how products use underlying resources in order to make it further lightweight, is something I would like them to consider.
When we've had issues, both Microsoft support and the user community have been very responsive. DevOps has an active developer community and frankly, you can find most of your questions already asked and answered there. Microsoft also does a better job than most software vendors I've worked with creating detailed and frequently updated documentation.
Microsoft Planner is used by project managers and IT service managers across our organization for task tracking and running their team meetings. Azure DevOps works better than Planner for software development teams but might possibly be too complex for non-software teams or more business-focused projects. We also use ServiceNow for IT service management and this tool provides better analysis and tracking of IT incidents, as Azure DevOps is more suited to development and project work for dev teams.
Honestly, I havent use something like Onapsis before and currently I am not aware if there is something similiar out there. They are one of a kind and is a complete suit, so is unlikelly that someone from outside will appear with a better solution.
Out of other products we evaluated before choosing Sonatype, the later looked far more user friendly, easy to understand and work with. This was key for us, as the tool needs to be used by many engineers that don't have security as their main focus. Having a tool that is easy to understand and work with, makes the process of evaluating open source dependencies much easier and appealing for developers.
We have saved a ton of time not calculating metrics by hand.
We no longer spend time writing out cards during planning, it goes straight to the board.
We no longer track separate documents to track overall department goals. We were able to create customized icons at the department level that lets us track each team's progress against our dept goals.
