    The only issue we have had is sometimes the web app is too slow, and that causes issues with us wanting to continue to use FOSSA over going with another tool. That is the only problem. I noticed it happened more recently, but if that is solved now or will be solved, I would 100% recommend this tool to anyone!

    FossID Workbench Screenshots

    Screenshot of a scan of repositories that detects all Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) from complete components, packages, and libraries to small snippets of open source.Screenshot of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs). FossID Workbench can automatically export and import Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) reports containing license text, copyright statements, vulnerabilities and even snippet level information.Screenshot of a presentation of license-related risks in software that helps to remain compliant. Workbench detects over 2000 different licenses encountered overed years of open source auditing from strong/weak copyleft to the most obscure source-available and non-commercial licenses. Workbench helps users to understand all license related risks that could affect your products and services.Screenshot of Workbench’s comprehensive policy management that can prevent usage of strong/weak copyleft or source-available software licenses in products and services.Screenshot of VulnSnippet Finder: Snippet detection for vulnerable open source snippets. FossID’s Knowledge Base snippet detection capabilities include special detection of vulnerable open source snippets. While most security scanners assume open source vulnerabilities based on component and version, VulnSnippet Finder bases its search on the exact lines of code/snippets that make software vulnerable.
