"The installation is very easy."
"The cloud option of the product is always available and a positive aspect of the solution."
"We accidentally use third-party library APIs, which may not be secure. Our technical team may not have the end time or expertise to figure it out. Black Duck helps us with that and saves us time."
"It highlights what the developers have done, and it shows the impact from an intellectual property point of view."
"The most valuable feature for me in Black Duck is its ability to scan binary files effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scanning, and that it's easy to use."
"We didn't have a central inventory to quickly identify issues or determine how many products were affected. Now under Black Duck, it's all consolidated. You search for a component and immediately see which products use it."
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
"The initial setup could be simplified. It was somewhat complex."
"The solution must provide more open APIs."
"Due to the fact that, with our software developer life cycle, we don't need to scan our source code every day or every week. For that reason, we find the cost is too high. We might only actually use it five to ten times a year, which makes it expensive."
"The product's pricing is higher compared to other competitor products."
"The solution's pricing model and documentation areas of concern where improvement is needed."
"The scanner client is limited by the size of software it can handle."
"They are giving a lot of APIs and Python scripts for certain functionalities, but instead of using APIs and Python scripts, they should provide these functionalities through the UI. Users should be able to customize and add more fields through the UI. Users should be able to add more fields and generate reports. Currently, they are not giving flexibility in the UI. They're providing a script that simply generates an Excel file or CSV file. There is no flexibility."
"We have been having some issues with the latest releases where we are not able to scan our applications with the help of Black Duck."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
