Overview

Product Information on ActiveState Platform

Updated 13th April 2026

What is ActiveState Platform?

The ActiveState Library contains over 79M built-from-source, open source components. All components are built using our SLSA-3 compliant build environment, come with a full chain of build-level provenance, and are remediated when a community approved fix is available. To prevent malicious code from entering the catalog, known bad packages are blocked and quarantined. The ActiveState Library covers the majority of the major language ecosystems used by enterprise software development teams as well as their transitive and OS level dependencies. The ActiveState Curated Catalog allows customers to curate a private and vetted repository of open source components from the ActiveState Library. Curated Catalogs provide security teams control over what comes into their environments while giving engineering teams a secure way to get what they need to build, onboard, and start new projects.

ActiveState Platform Pricing

ActiveState’s 79M components built-from-source and continually remediated open source. Consumption models include Components (for custom images, managed distributions or part of a curated catalog) $180 per component with a minimum 100 components; Curated catalog named users are $1,000 per user; Base Images are $5,000.

Reviewer Insights for: ActiveState Platform

ActiveState Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

The web portal that captures the current configuration and vulnerabilities is very useful. Hopefully we'll be able to use it for self-driven updating of modules in our configuration.

Like

The ease of use for developers and the evolution of the product from customer feedback is the biggest strength in my eyes.

Like

- secure product - great technical service

Dislike

There's still room to improve quality of the configurations. Missing modules from previous configurations, mixing win64 and win64d build modules, and cleaning up the final packaging of intermediate build files not required to run.

Dislike

1. There is no ACL support for projects within an enterprise account 2. There is no field for defining an owner for a created project 3. Lack of SSO integration within my organization and reporting on active license use 4. Usernames are not specific to the enterprise account and are global to the platform. There is also no ability to change usernames.

Dislike

We are still in the testing phase. So overall it is good.
