Usability
The UI and UX of the platform requires some work since the platform is not for all screen sizes and the experience with certain features such as authentication and creating alerts is not great. The session times out while performing an action and having to repeat the entire action once again, which is not a great experience. Adding notification channels while creating the alerts is not seamless. But the platform has good UX with some great documentation for integrations along with the ability to customise dashboards.

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.

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.
