The configurability is great. I have tried other tools which only supported a tiny subset of certain programming languages and their package managers. Whitesource Renovate can be configured to update version for pretty much anything, as long as you can find a consistent place that lists versions, such as github releases, and you can regex yourself to the current version you are using.

This helped us set up version upgrades for Helm charts stored in ArgoCD Application files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit unclear why a file isn't picked up and considered for version upgrades. If you have set up a regex, and no files match looks exactly the same as if files match but the contents doesn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WhiteSource has been very active helping us to get started and get the most out of the tool, this also helps resolves the "dislikes" to a great extent. WhiteSource has also been very willing to help out investigate incorrect attribution. Single Sign-on makes makes it easy to switch to the portal. The home-view is a good dashboard with an overview of the organization, product, or project status. There are many integration options, such as Jira, GitHub, Travis CI, Jenkins, TeamCity, Bamboo, Azure DevOps, Circle CI, AWS CodeBuild, Google Cloud Build, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The "Policies" are quite limited in their current form and only a single policy can trigger. This means a policy at the product level can prevent organization wide policy violations to trigger. This can be useful when making exceptions as the product level, but this also means a product level admin can overrule organization wide decisions. The products - projects model takes quite a bit of insight and help to be used effectively. 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.
