WhiteSource's Renovate works great for me
What do you like best about the product?
I've hooked up Renovate initially to some small repos and now to some big ones, and it's worked great. They've learned from other products in this space and have proper configurability and built-in understanding to make dependency management much easier than manual curation. And they have pretty good documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation could be easier to find (it's hidden at the bottom of the page), and could have a softer intro to configuration between "here's the single default config" and "here are all the possible options". Also the docs could be easier to break down by language, as having everything jumbled together isn't the greatest for quickly scanning. But these are minor quibbles, as I've been able to find what I need without much issue once I've gotten used to the docs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Renovate really shines for managing two kinds of repos: big ones with complicated dependencies and stable ones that don't otherwise get much attention. Especially for the stable ones, it's great to have deps march forward with full testing simply via approving PRs.
Great Whitesource
What do you like best about the product?
Security scanning features that allow me to detect the dependencies vulnerabilities. Github integration to detect the dependencies vulnerabilities. Detect each package and the solution for the vulnerabilities detection. It's great enough for me to help without browsing one by one the depencies. I can resolve the problem and also check the current vulnerabilities with easy way. It's great features for me. I think that features is really best as it is have free features. I know the free scanning have limitation but it's enough for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
No one, it's good enough. I think no one needs to be dislike. All is good enough.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security vulnerabilities scanner, easy to know and detect the security problem. It's feature really make me crazy, I know the dependencies vulnerabilies in a second. It's fast enough fore me. I can't realize if I need to check it one by one, it will take more time. Check one by one each package, each repositories, it will take much time if I do it manually. Thank you for whitesource that bring me the solution to check it use the whitesource-bolt for github which is give me to save my time and take more time for solving the packages dependencies instead of checking the package. So It's really great for me. This WhiteSource Software have possibilities to more growth since it will help all fellow developer or admin or security team to check each vulnerabilities. I can't say much. It's really great!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should see this one. It's excellent software that will help with security solutions.
Renovate Github Bot helps me to keep my repos up to date
What do you like best about the product?
I think the best about the Whitesource Products are the Integration with for example Github. The Github Apps are easy to install and provide a great user experience. For exmple the renovate bot automatically informs you about package updates. When updating packages packages from a monorepo are considered. Also changelogs are displayed in pull request messages from the renovate bot.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there is nothing to dislike about the whitesource products.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They realy help keeping dependencies up-to-date and help with vulnerabilities in depended on packages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it. It meets all requirements.
Impressive tool to understand your Code...
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to explore code dependencies and get a better insight of the real extent or external component usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't really think of many flaws I would address on the software...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Licensing scope can be critical if not addressed timely, we can pipoint potential issues before they arise as a major problem.
Better solutions in the market
What do you like best about the product?
There's a lot of work involved in setting it up, but it works for the most part, except it doesn't cover dependencies of dependencies, which may be a requirement that you need to cover. The interface is clunky and outdated. There are new players emerging players in the market that are playing catch-up (e.g. FOSSA)
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not a fan of the sales team and their tactics -- very high pressure. I would be very careful in approaching any conversations with these folks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Evaluating risks associated with FOSS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at other solutions.
Fills gap for monorepos
What do you like best about the product?
Extensive configuration options for maximum flexibility.
Support for an impressive number of package management tools.
Support for an impressive number of package management tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation around configuration options is difficult to navigate and understand.
All advanced features and basic features are together with no separation. I think many people would benefit from several examples that demonstrate common configurations that renovate is used in.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multi-language dependency update in a monorepo, using renovate
Works like a charm
What do you like best about the product?
Out of the box it's already helping a lot. When you dive into the configurations there's even more awesome things you can achieve.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the constant stream of emails from Github pull requests. Something you can easily manage with the right config settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to keep my JAMstack codebase up to date
A real timesaver
What do you like best about the product?
Peace of mind with automation and inherited security
What do you dislike about the product?
Removal of Gitlab support, but looks like they are working on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated dependency updates, alerts for security issues.
Update all your dependencies
What do you like best about the product?
Pin to specific versions of a dependency
What do you dislike about the product?
The first run seems to be a bit slow when you are waiting for it to finish on multiple repos
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I wanted to update my dependencies on more than just one file in the repo. This tool does that.
Very happy with Renovate
What do you like best about the product?
Renovate has been great at helping us keep up to date with our dependencies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limitations in functionality around customer plugins.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'd like to be able to extend the default file format types that renovate checks. In some gradle plugins, versions are written in files such as `versions.props`. Renovate doesn't allow flexibility in this regard.
