Mend.io is built for every risk, across AI and AppSec, securing the code layer, the AI layer, and the interactions between them. From discovery and red teaming to guardrails and runtime protection, Mend.io delivers continuous protection across the entire AI application lifecycle. Mend.io solutions include: 1. Mend AI secures the layer where modern risk actually lives—the interaction between code and AI. It continuously discovers AI components (agents, prompts, models), tests real behavioral risk through automated red teaming, and enforces in-app runtime guardrails for one continuous control system for the AI lifecycle. 2. Mend AppSec secures the modern code layer by continuously discovering and prioritizing risk across code, libraries, containers, and dependencies, giving teams the clarity they need to reduce exposure and ship secure software faster. 3. Mend Renovate secures the foundation of every codebase by automatically updating dependencies, rating the likelihood each update will succeed without breaking changes, and grouping them by confidence level so teams can resolve them faster. * * * Product Website Mend.io Seller [Mend](https://www.g2.com/sellers/mend-ab79a83a-6747-4682-8072-a3c176489d0b) Discussions [Mend.io Community](https://www.g2.com/products/mend-io/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Na'ama Nir (Head of Strategic Marketing at Mend.io | B2B Marketing Leader | Marketing Strategy | Growth & Expansion | Customer marketing | ABM | Demand Gen & Field Expert) ![Wipro](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Wipro") Used by Wipro and 2 others ##### Featured Companies [ ![Wipro](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Wipro") Wipro](https://www.g2.com/products/wipro/reviews)[ ![Wipro Salesforce Practice](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Wipro Salesforce Practice") Wipro Salesforce Practice](https://www.g2.com/products/wipro-salesforce-practice/reviews)[ ![Jitterbit](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Jitterbit") Jitterbit](https://www.g2.com/products/jitterbit/reviews) Beta Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Mend.io. ### Mend AI Premium $300.00 1 Contributing Developer (CDs) Per Year [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/mend-io/pricing) ## Mend.io Integrations (5) What do users say about integrations? Verified by Mend.io ![Ratna P.](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Ratna P.") RP Ratna P. Network Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/30/2026 "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.

CTO Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/13/2022 "Great Tool for Managing 3rd party libraries" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Mend.io? Mend eases the process of keeping track of all the used 3rd party dependencies within a product. It not only scans for the pure occurrence (also transitively) but takes also care of license and vulnerabilities. The new platform approach is much more user friendly than the old UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mend.io? Integration into jira is somehow buggy, so that security issues still show up in jira security, although the scan shows that they are remediated. For the beginning it is still a steep learning curve, but it is worth the effort to setup all the workflows - although it is intransparent how to add exceptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mend.io solving and how is that benefiting you? Mend helps you to track which libraries are used within a piece of software. It keeps track of the vulnerabilities and also keeps track of the license. With single clicks, you can generate the necessary license overview and ensure the vulnerability state of your application.

VK Varun K. Webmethods Administrator / SRE Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/4/2026 "Seamless Pipeline Integration with Fast, Actionable Vulnerability Fixes" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Mend.io? What stands out most about Mend.io is how seamlessly it integrates into the development pipeline without disrupting existing workflows. The fast feedback loop enables developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues ,catching problems early rather than at the end of the release cycle. The open-source dependency management with CVE detection, detailed vulnerability and license reports, and fix suggestions make it genuinely useful day-to-day, not just a compliance checkbox. The automated remediation saves hours of manual triage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mend.io? The initial setup and configuration can be overwhelming, especially for teams new to SCA tooling. The sheer volume of vulnerability alerts early on can lead to alert fatigue ,without proper policy tuning, developers tend to ignore notifications rather than act on them. The dashboard, while feature-rich, has a steep learning curve and could benefit from a more intuitive onboarding experience. Pricing is also a concern, as SaaS and on-prem software costs continue to rise, the per-developer pricing model can become expensive at scale , making it harder to justify for smaller teams or budget-conscious organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mend.io solving and how is that benefiting you? One of the core problems Mend.io solves is the lack of visibility into open-source dependencies and the security risks they introduce. Before using a tool like Mend.io, identifying vulnerable libraries across multiple applications was a largely manual, time-consuming process. Mend.io identifies, prioritises, and remediates security and license risks in open-source components automatically which means our team spends less time hunting for vulnerabilities and more time building. The CI/CD integration ensures that security checks happen continuously rather than as a last-minute gate before release, shifting security left in the development lifecycle. This has directly reduced the time it takes to detect and respond to newly disclosed CVEs, which previously could go unnoticed for weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Mend.io very easy to integrate because it already has capabilities to scan multiple, different codes. The agent is pretty lightweight, just a CLI agent that can run all the scans and is easily downloadable. Also, the cost is under budget and comparable to industry standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mend.io? Guess the AI scanning is something which is we have not taken that particular aspect. We are only seeing it on the dashboard. But I guess the AI agent is something which can be worked on. More insights. Also, if Mend can also work on Runtime analysis, that's a new unexplored category. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Mend.io: Best valuation for the price point in the market right now, go for it. Other Opensource tools are available, but they aggregate their data from open source websites such as NVD or CVE web sites, they are good to a certain extent, however a paid products gives you more insight into multiple data sources for vulnerability and their in-house research and development team also enhances their product to give you optimum use of white source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mend.io solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Mend.io to find vulnerabilities using the shift left methodology. It's easy to integrate, the agent is lightweight, and it fits our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
