User Testimonials
	Sonatype Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	Sonatype - 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 SS Sebastian Schmidt Senior Application Manager Read full review
Pros	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Sonatype Support on the end of life lifecycle of known open source components that are going end of life, or already went end of life Support for emerging infrastructure as code frameworks Support for native/ default retention, archiving and clean up policies for hosted repositories Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Sonatype Sonatype supports more than 200 dev(s). It proves with the repository to store the artifacts. Allows for governance of open source software used by the different teams. It is used by security teams to scan for vulnerabilities in software(s) and in the deployed containers. It helps ensure code quality. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Sonatype 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.

Alternatives Considered	Sonatype 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.

Return on Investment	Sonatype 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.
