Nexus Lifecycle
About Nexus Lifecycle
Nexus Lifecycle by Sonatype is an application security and dependency management solution designed to help organizations manage open-source governance and automatically find and fix vulnerabilities across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). The platform enables developers to monitor security standards in the development process and access a centralized vulnerabilities database to implement best practices and detect and avoid online attacks or hack attempts.
Nexus Lifecycle includes a comparison functionality, which enables users to evaluate various components of an application to identify suitable versions and manually resolve any issues, or dependencies. Administrators can automatically generate software bill of materials (SBOM) for individual applications to gain visibility into the usage of various software modules and ensure compliance with app development guidelines. Security professionals can also create and establish custom policies for licenses, security, and architectural practices at every stage of the software development process.
Nexus Lifecycle allows managers to gain insights into violation trends, mean time to resolution (MTTR), remediation time, and other data via analytics and graphs. It also supports integration with various third-party applications such as Azure DevOps, Gitlab, AuditJS, Jira, ThreadFix, and more.

Binary Repository for the large enterprise
Reviewed on 2020/04/23
It's fairly easy to install, pricy from the enterprise version, supports all packages types.
It's fairly easy to install, pricy from the enterprise version, supports all packages types.
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.
