FOSSA Pros and Cons

Helped a sister company of ours understand and mitigate risk assessment for an IPO. By using FOSSA, among other tools, we were able to have a smooth IPO launch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We found that some of the real time tools were somewhat slow, but they were not a detriment to overall performance and still kept everything up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used FOSSA for vulnerability testing in my previous organization. FOSSA can be integrated with multiple build systems and it's vulnerability scan is also effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult for new users to understand how FOSSA works and how to generate the results. It also needs the training to understand the vulnerability scan and improve code quality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FOSSA was easy to set up and integrate with our GitHub repositories. Once connected it made it easy to audit the FOSS licenses of the components we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is based on per-developer licensing, which is ok at the beginning but expensive to scale up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used FOSSA to scan the licenses of software I use. Set up of tool and speed of scanning is great. I also like automated email with reports feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike as of now. Everything seems fine to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
