The thing I like most about the Hub is the integrations. Engineers are moving toward a more automated build process and a have a tool that can support that is very nice.

### "Great experience. API needs a little work"

July 31, 2017

5.0

Lots of information readily available

Pros

I love the ability to see at a glance detailed dependency information. Also being able to follow the breadcrumbs to CVE reports.

Cons

The REST API is extremely hard to work with and needs to be more user friendly. I want to be able to just get an API token and use it to make calls. Instead I have to scrape the JSESSIONCOOKIE id and use that. It's a lot of work.

### "It seems complex but usable"

June 26, 2017

5.0

Pros

Support is robust, and technically competent. We've had to use support a few times, and while the problems were complex the engineers were diligent about resolving the issue.

Cons

The ability to find independent information from users about this software is nearly impossible. I'm not sure why that is.
