Black Duck Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vs. Quixxi Security

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

If you are developing mobile apps, you should be doing regular vulnerability scans. Quixxi Scan does this quickly and easily from your working app code. Furthermore, if your company requires compliance with any of the major software development or industry-standard data security standards like SOC -2, the Quixxi scan reports are ideal and can be used "as is."

• 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.

• Simple to understand but comprehensive PDF report. Ideal for compliance reporting.
• Provides recommendations to resolve vulnerabilities.
• Uses industry standard OWASP framework for vulnerability identification.

• 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

• Would like to see dynamics scanning added.
• Would like to see code snippets for examples.

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

Support seems very responsive.

Very good. I only had one problem when implementing it and the Support team was online via chat and helped me straight away.

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.

It was the best value for money and it was easy to use. It was recommended in the top 10 vulnerability scanners.

• It is hard to measure ROI since Black Duck Hub saves us from costly legal battles that have thankfully never had to happen.

Incentivized

• It's cheap and comprehensive.
• It's quick and easy to use.
• It can be integrated into X-Code or Android Studio to run as a part of Git code checking or app deployment in the testing stage.
