45 Mend Testimonials

"There are times when we receive alerts about seemingly important libraries, but then WhiteSource Prioritize will show us that our application isn’t actually using the vulnerable method.”

"We want Microsoft’s users to have access to the best industry solutions for open source management. That’s why we reached out to partner with WhiteSource. WhiteSource is a thought leader in the Rugged DevOps space and we are happy that this partnership will bring the confidence, time and money savings they deliver to their customers."

"What I like about this is that it runs in the background, and therefore doesn’t disrupt the developer's workflow. They can develop, but at the same time, as a manager, I can become aware of any potential issues, and have them resolved."

“With [Mend] we have a comprehensive inventory of all the Open Source components, and can ensure full compliance with our license policies. This also means we can rapidly answer any questions from prospects and be certain we are 100% accurate in the information we are providing, all without wasting any of our developers’ valuable time.”

“With WhiteSource I have full view of what’s in each of the software versions, no matter where and by whom it was customized."

“[Mend] helps us reduce legal and security risks associated with the use of certain open source components. [Mend] continuously alerts us on security vulnerabilities that affect our product. When the question of open source usage came up during a due diligence process, we created an open source inventory report in one click."

“We looked for a solution that would provide us with an up-to-date, open source report whenever we need it. WhiteSource does just that – the report is always a click away.”

“Our agile framework and demanding ecosystem made it clear that we must use a solution like WhiteSource to automatically manage our open source components, dependencies and versions.”

“With [Mend], we are able to see all our open source information in one place. The dashboards give us a good, up-to-date overview of the open source in our software.”

"As banks continue their evolution into software companies with investment strategies, this asymmetrical approach will become increasingly expensive and ultimately unsustainable. Most banks have steadily replaced expensive-to-maintain proprietary pieces of their IT infrastructure with open source components, calculating that the real value lies in the differentiating bits running on top."

"The ability to set and enforce strict policies is a top priority for the foundation and our security conscious community. As a part of the deployment process for Mend’s platform, we were able to define which levels of threat severity were unacceptable."

"WhiteSource Prioritize decreases the amount of work for our developers."

“If we were going to implement a more hands off process, then we had to be sure that it would not open us to vulnerabilities that could lead to exploitations. Simply put, we had to trust that this would work.”

"After seeing the dramatic results of our beta testing, we have no doubt that implementing Effective Usage Analysis on our entire code will be a breakthrough in both reducing efforts and improving our results when dealing with open source security vulnerabilities."

"Automated our current process for monitoring and documenting open source dependencies. If your requirements fits the [Mend] specification, I would then definitely recommend it. [It automated] our existing process, which in-turn saves a lot of hours and the risks associated with open source dependencies."
