Black Duck Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vs. Onapsis

If you are using a lot of open-source libraries, which is most likely, this is a must-have to ensure no known vulnerabilities slip into production

Incentivized

Onapsis is divided into 4 major components,

1. Assess
2. Comply
3. Defend
4. Control

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.

• Quick inventory scan: Black Duck helps us scan the code repositories in no time. And quickly list the components and I now really know what is in my code.
• Security and License risk management: Black Duck being rich in its knowledge base about the vulnerabilities and license issues of open source components, quickly compares the identified inventory to the Black Duck knowledge base and lists all the vulnerabilities and license issues in the code.
• Integration for automatic scanning: Black Duck is part of devops which provides us automatic scanning. Black Duck is not just for devops but also SecOps.

• 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.

• License model based on usage is costly.
• Documentation is extensive, but often confusing.
• Black Duck Hub could use some feature improvements for more robust governance capabilities

Incentivized

• Multiple UIs
• No proper customization of UI log-off
• Tedious setup of Control component
• No proper error messages received

If you don’t know how to scan for the language, it isn’t entirely user friendly

Support seems very responsive.

Black Duck is an obvious choice, with its versatility, integration, best enterprise support and on top of the list the knowledge base Black Duck has. Vega or Grabber also scans the application and tells about vulnerabilities. But it can never be compared with the feature set of Black Duck. Black Duck can also generate reports.

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.
