Black Duck Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vs. SUSE NeuVector

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

SUSE NeuVector is exceptional when you want to make your Kubernetes cluster secure. You can limit network connections, scan containers, container registries and Kubernetes nodes for vulnerable software, forbid running specific commands on certain or all containers. You can enable security for individual containers - when SUSE NeuVector has learned container specifics. That's why you can deploy SUSE NeuVector on production Kubernetes clusters where you are already running conteiners - it will not break anything.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Scans containers software for known vulnerabilities
• Denies command execution in containers
• Prevents unwanted network connections from/to containers

• 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

• I like everything about NeuVector. They are on the right development path.

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

Incentivized

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.

SUSE NeuVector is deployed on your Kubernetes, and data does not leave your data center. Sysdig is a cloud platform - you have no full control over what happens with your data. Also, SUSE NeuVector has a capability to prevent specific command execution ir containers, but Sysdig does not have such ability. Sysdig is not an open-source solution, but SUSE NeuVector is.

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

Incentivized

• We went from being blind to what happens in the Kubernetes network to seeing everything and being able to control Kubernetes network communications.
• Now we are able to detect vulnerable containers faster.
