Automation of the process, auto merging pull requests, the information provided inside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found the pin dependencies feature useful, but maybe I need to dig more to fully benefit from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to explore code dependencies and get a better insight of the real extent or external component usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't really think of many flaws I would address on the software... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Renovate is a time saver, more specifically, saving precious engineering time and brings peace of mind as we automated our application dependencies updating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really. The Renovate tool is part of the toolchain for every applications. And is now free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a lot of work involved in setting it up, but it works for the most part, except it doesn't cover dependencies of dependencies, which may be a requirement that you need to cover. The interface is clunky and outdated. There are new players emerging players in the market that are playing catch-up (e.g. FOSSA) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not a fan of the sales team and their tactics -- very high pressure. I would be very careful in approaching any conversations with these folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pin to specific versions of a dependency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first run seems to be a bit slow when you are waiting for it to finish on multiple repos Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extensive configuration options for maximum flexibility.

Support for an impressive number of package management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Documentation around configuration options is difficult to navigate and understand.

All advanced features and basic features are together with no separation. I think many people would benefit from several examples that demonstrate common configurations that renovate is used in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite thing about Renovate is the customizability. You can adjust everything about how Renovate works down to the most minute detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Renovate is that the customizability can be overwhelming. Fortunately, their config-help repository is very good at offering advice and helping you figure out how to accomplish what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how it makes easy it is to manage my openSource web components. I never have to worry about missing an important notification if something goes wrong! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike with whiteSource! Maybe one thing I'd suggest is to make it a little less expensive. But honestly, it's already worth the price! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

RenovateBot, whether for Bitbucket, GitHub, or Azure Repos, is a comprehensive and powerful tool. Their support on GitHub is responsive to questions and PRs. (They’re all about delivering rapid updates of dependencies; so it’s no surprise that they have rapid and regular releases.)

With a reasonable amount of initial effort, it’s pretty easy to set up with your repositories/automation tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a little bit to understand the configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Turns keeping your software up to date from a chore into something you don’t even need to think about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Faster creation of MRs - perhaps a database of who uses what dependency so as soon as a new release is created they can all be updated, rather than each repo polling their dependencies individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
