- 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

Sonatype
  • 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.

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.

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.

  • Sonatype's centralized management of artifacts have made it very easy for developers to share code in an efficient manner.
  • Sonatype's low false positive rate has made it easier to convince developers to remediate vulnerabilities
  • Sonatype's archaic architecture has made it more expensive to manage than it could be.

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.
