vulnerability analysis tool

my experience with Nexus Lifecycle is that it allows me to identify and secure vulnerable devices when doing development, which really allows me to work with peace of mind and confidence

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Firstly, what is good about Nexus Lifecycle is that it is easy to install and use, it supports several types of packages, has very good documentation and is available in several languages. secondly, the vulnerability feature is excellent when it comes to application vulnerability analysis

Cons:

First of all, Nexus Lifecycle is more expensive than its competitors, so access to the paid version is not available to everyone, Then, its interface is often heavy when adding several components

Reasons for choosing Sonatype Lifecycle

because of its ease of use and its ability to detect application vulnerabilities

Binary Repository for the large enterprise

It's fairly easy to install, pricy from the enterprise version, supports all packages types.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

The Open Source version has enough functionality (comparing to competitors) to be one of the best in its field. It has vast support for all packages type and the installation is fairly easy

Cons:

The issue will begin once you like to move from the Open Source version to the commercial one, it is pricy (again comparing to the competitors) it has a business module of per user per year cost and if your budget is limited you would find yourself with an issue of funding it. It is not the best in line with the enterprise versions out there.

Reasons for switching to Sonatype Lifecycle

The Open Source version of Nexus repository has much more functionality (for the free option), might return back if we decide to go for the enterprise version.
