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.

Its interface needs to be improved and easy even for the Newbies.

More specific recommendations regarding Open Source Licensing - not just saying "Copyleft" but the next level of analysis (it's difficult - but would save a lot of time) Provide specific component replacement options where no "next version" resolves a high severity vulnerability.

Read full review Support Rating In more than a year using the IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery tool, I haven't had any major complaints or problems. However, in the last month, IBM suffered from a couple of problems through several of its services, and for a short period of time, I couldn't deploy successfully my projects. The problem was brief and was quickly fixed.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We chose IBM Cloud Developer Tools for multiple reasons. Cost, current infrastructure vendor list, and Cloud Operations team experience were key driving factors for us. Palo Alto's Prisma Cloud product was slick for sure but we found it more difficult to deploy and integrate with our current environment and applications
Read full review 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.
