[LastPass](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/140455/lastpass-enterprise) — 4.6/5 (2782 reviews) ## Reviews ### "Ease of Use and extensible integration availability" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 April 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The integrations points are quite very wide and cater to whatever type of CI/ CDthat you may want to use, also, the IDE integrations are quite easy to deploy, thereby not locking you into a corner if your DevOps team are fixed on one particular type of technologies. Also, the accuracy and detection capability seems to be very solid > > **Cons**: not sure if there is something that i did not really like, maybe initially it did not have the code snippets, but that has been taken care of now ; giving the solution better capability and usage experience ----- ### "Super fast, neat and top notch solution for Software Composition Analysis" — 5.0/5 > **Tunde** | *31 July 2017* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The fact that it combines all three core areas of Open Source Security Management is a very deep advantage. whether the need is security or license risk management or operational risk concerns. Black Duck does it well and neat. Also, the scan speed helps you quickly make a good case within the shortest possible time. it can be delivered On premise, allowing the user company to keep their source code and not release their source code unlike some other solution. > > **Cons**: the fact that the code base monitored. would have been nice if the solution could be project based pricing or perhaps priced as a function of the number of lines of code. Nonetheless, still a fantastic tool ----- ### "It filled the needs of our team." — 3.0/5 > **Andrew** | *28 June 2017* > > **Pros**: New feature are constantly being added. The support team is quick to get back with questions and issues. > > **Cons**: Upgrading it is a major pain / undertaking. Each time we need to upgrade the system we have to do the equivalent of installing it from scratch. ----- ### "Could be better for .Net applications." — 4.0/5 > **Mallika** | *10 July 2017* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reports are very good. Operational risk, License report etc are all very helpful. Could use more information for .Net applications though. > > **Cons**: KB isn't really that good for third party dlls etc for .Net applications. If the Jsons we send out to customer support could be automated as well (by Jenkins plugin) that'd be helpful instead of manually running them. ----- ### "Stable Software to identify open source vulnerabilities" — 5.0/5 > **Basma** | *29 June 2017* | Security & Investigations | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to use and integrate with the current continuous integration infrastructure. It is adding new features frequently to improve usability. > > **Cons**: The result from scanning is not always that great. It should focus on improving findings. There are a lot of false alarms that should be corrected to update its database. It should support more languages in future. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/264429/black-duck-hub?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/264429/black-duck-hub) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
