Useful, intuitive, but not without overhead
In general FOSSA seems like a useful tool. In general, it does a good job of informing me what I need to do to remediate a vulnerability. I cannot say which part of this is FOSSA's fault or the way my org has it configured, but at times it is incredibly annoying when a FOSSA issue blows a build the morning of a production launch for a non-critical issue. This has cost me personally a lot of time and headache. Not the tool's fault, but perhaps worth noting to people selling this software to do that as best practice?
