Overall Satisfaction with Sonatype Platform

Top tier platform for identifying, remediating and managing known source code vulnerabilities across a large portfolio of applications. We incorporated Nexus Lifecycle scanning into our end to end pipelines with great success.
  • Vulnerability identification and best path to remediation.
  • Very well supported platform - exceptional customer service.
  • Ongoing monitoring of last released BOM per application and alerting of new vulnerabilities.
  • Recommendations for best Energy Consumption options based on existing BOM - e.g. replace component X with component Y to reduce CPU cycles.
  • 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.
  • Vulnerability Identification / Remediation Guidance
  • Relatively simple ingest/onboarding process per application
  • Outstanding support
  • Enabled us to be more proactive on vulnerability remediation
  • Significant reduction in legacy technical debt
  • Being proactive with monthly touchpoints to keep our progress moving forward
  • Black Duck Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
