Many companies, including ours, use Nexus Repository due to concerns about malware and critical vulnerabilities. There should be a specific method to prevent malicious packages from entering the internal network, so our company uses Nexus Repository. We usually consider adding the firewall feature on top of the Repository, with the main purpose being to block malicious packages.

Accurate database support blocks malicious code with excellent support
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The firewall is the only solution that supports Nexus Repository. This firewall comes with an accurate database, which can identify most malicious code from entering. It relies on the Sonatype accurate database, so the accuracy is excellent. There is no other option except Sonatype deploy to the firewall.
What needs improvement?
There are several features lacking in the current offering, particularly concerning container support and AI packages, like humming phase support. However, I have heard that it is on the roadmap for 2025.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is software, so there is always a possibility of bugs, however, they are quite fast in fixing these bugs. It is quite stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There is an option to scale the capacity using an external database, and then you also have support. I do not think there is any issue with scalability.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service is fantastic. They provide the required responses and relevant support, which is the biggest advantage of using Sonatype.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I do not have handling experience with another firewall. Sonatype Firewall is the only one I have been using. There is only one other alternative.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is quite straightforward and easy. It is not complicated.
What about the implementation team?
Just a couple of staff members can complete the installation and configuration.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Also, I consider it average. Some people might consider it expensive, however, since it supports many beautiful features, I would say it is worth it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We looked at Sonatype or Gather. There are not that many options.
What other advice do I have?
I would give the solution eight out of ten. I would look at the comparison of Sonatype to some other firewalls. There is room for improvement, especially mentioning container support and AI packages.
