The combination of high security and license compliance capabilities with flexible policies makes BlackDuck Software Composition Analysis the perfect tool for companies that wish to manage Open Source at a high level. There is no need for any additional complementary tools to manage Open Source.

1. The UX is a bit dated and not the most intuitive to use. 2. Deployment is hard to manage. HA requires two full stack deployments. Also, the product is only released quarterly, hence a lot of vulnerabilities in the product itself can't be patched in a timely manner. 3. Tend to have many bugs in every version.
