Overall Satisfaction with Black Duck Suite
Black Duck Hub is being used across our organization to enforce a robust open source software usage policy. It helps us ensure that we are protecting our intellectual property from open source license risk.
- Black Duck Hub performs scans very quickly
- Black Duck Hub is easy to use
- Black Duck Hub has a robust set of integrations available for CI tools such as Jenkins and Bamboo
- Black Duck has the most extensive open source KB in the industry
- 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
- It is hard to measure ROI since Black Duck Hub saves us from costly legal battles that have thankfully never had to happen.
Black Duck had similar capabilities to other vendors in the industry but where they come out on top is their extensive catalog of known open source in their knowledge base.
