"A could-be-amazing tool that still has some way to go"

What do you like best? I find the risk report being the most useful thing, other features are on the way to being good but still need some work done. It does seem to detect potential license violations quite well but for instance it doesn't deal with dual licenses: e.g. when a component is licensed under GPL AND MIT the tool will identify it as a violation even though it's no longer the case. What do you dislike? Most usability issues. The tool just doesn't do the workflow that would be ...

"Simple tool for more visibility around our libraries (versions, security vulnerabilities and bugs)"

What do you like best? that it is a hosted solution and you don't have to take care yourself about the setup or data suggests versions of the oudated or insecure library shows also critical and blocking bugs known in the libraries very good dashboard with an overview of what is going on the tool lists also the licenses of the libraries which is very important if you use open source libraries in your commercial product, which might forces you to open source your code as well (LGPL) What do ...

"Bootstrapping startup that will go the extra mile for service"

What do you like best? My favorite part about whitesource is that their product is modern. Unlike the competitors, whitesource software is built with modern frameworks and CI platforms in mind. They don't assume you have a server closet or that your entire office runs windows XP :) What do you dislike? I don't really have any complaints. They are growing which means some features are still being built-out. But any time I have had a problem, whitesource has gone the extra mile to provide a ...
