Black Duck Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vs. FOSSA

If you are using a lot of open-source libraries, which is most likely, this is a must-have to ensure no known vulnerabilities slip into production

The only issue we have had is sometimes the web app is too slow, and that causes issues with us wanting to continue to use FOSSA over going with another tool. That is the only problem. I noticed it happened more recently, but if that is solved now or will be solved, I would 100% recommend this tool to anyone!

If you don’t know how to scan for the language, it isn’t entirely user friendly

I have a very strong reason for the very best rating. Usually, Black Duck support is quick enough and they continuously keep me updated about the status if some issue is taking time for them to resolve. Overall, I am happy with the response I get from t customer care. I was planning an upgrade and I ran into an issue as the migrated Postgres database does not get identified by the new version of the hub. And all the projects, scans and the huge amount of work we put in comments under version are all lost. I immediately opened a case in the Black Duck customer portal. And in no time, I get a message back from the support for a quick WebEx session. And support was able to help me and my weekend was saved. Thank you for the quick support Black Duck. Appreciate it. I also have some questions on using Black Duck in an optimal way. I get helpful replies quick enough.

Never needed support but the chat and help seem forefront of the app!

Black Duck is an obvious choice, with its versatility, integration, best enterprise support and on top of the list the knowledge base Black Duck has. Vega or Grabber also scans the application and tells about vulnerabilities. But it can never be compared with the feature set of Black Duck. Black Duck can also generate reports.

• It is hard to measure ROI since Black Duck Hub saves us from costly legal battles that have thankfully never had to happen.

• Hard to measure the ROI, but no doubt having licenses be above board is fantastic for protection of your software.
• Caused developers to make more informed decisions.
