"Mend.io Makes Vulnerability Scanning and Prioritization Easy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Mend.io?

I like Mend.io mainly because it can scan for vulnerabilities. I used it mostly as a test case: I created a test project, ran a vulnerability scan, and then used the dashboard, which listed everything across multiple repositories. That view makes it easier to prioritize what to fix first.

I also like the support it gives developers by providing visibility into threats when it comes to open source. Onboarding and integrating it with third-party applications is also quite easy. In one of my test cases, when I was working as a developer, it initially took me a lot of time to identify vulnerabilities, but after using Mend.io it became less time-consuming.

Also, when it comes to compliance, it helps there too by license compliance and prevents manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mend.io?

Let’s first talk about the UI. The initial setup for the policy takes some time, and it would be easier with an onboarding guide to improve the user experience.

On performance, the dashboard has a lot of information, which may feel overwhelming for an engineer.

The pricing also seemed a bit high to me, and it may be challenging for a smaller startup.

When it comes to reporting, it could be customized further to be more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mend.io solving and how is that benefiting you?

Now the world is changing for the better with AI. With Mend.io, I think the process becomes more efficient and reduces manual work. As I mentioned, I created a test environment and it was able to identify vulnerabilities that might otherwise take a lot of time to find.

In a production scenario, when it comes to vulnerabilities, it can take a long time to detect them and then mitigate them. With Mend.io, there is a comprehensive report that is useful for maintaining compliance as well, and it reduces a lot of manual work while being less time-consuming overall.

This is helping improve the security posture of the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
