Great bot to keep the app vulnerability free.
What do you like best about the product?
Great app to keep the app vulnerability free as you don't need to worry about upgrading tons of packages in your multiple projects anymore. It does the tedious manual job for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've been using renovate for a while now. Don't really know if there's a way to exclude a specific package from upgrading.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Renovate bot to upgrade the dependencies automatically. Biggest benifit is that it keeps the dependencies up to date which helps keeping the app vulnerability free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really easy setup. Smooth integration with git. Keeps your app vulnerability free. Just give it a try. I'm sure you'll find it useful.
It just works
What do you like best about the product?
The WhiteSource Renovate bot is a fantastic product. Setup was effortless, with a friendly guide, in the form of a pull request that shows the impact of your configuration.
I had limited the number of open pull requests, so after a few weeks, we were lagging in releasing all the updates. Then renovate bot opened an issue in our project, clearly showing what was still in the backlog.

What do you dislike about the product?
Finetuning how Renovate bot should process updates has quite a bit of a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Renovate bot is helping us keep up to date with all our external software updates.
Makes keeping up with updates 1000x easier!
What do you like best about the product?
The customization and ability to self-host
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit complicated to set up on Gitlab and occasional bugginess
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making sure all of our dependencies are up to date across all of our projects.
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.
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.
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.
Great Bot
What do you like best about the product?
I like Renovate works with GitHub and is free
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike, works as expected
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Upgrading image versions to newest version
Whitesource Renovate was easy to set up, and very configurable
What do you like best about the product?
The configurability is great. I have tried other tools which only supported a tiny subset of certain programming languages and their package managers. Whitesource Renovate can be configured to update version for pretty much anything, as long as you can find a consistent place that lists versions, such as github releases, and you can regex yourself to the current version you are using.
This helped us set up version upgrades for Helm charts stored in ArgoCD Application files.
This helped us set up version upgrades for Helm charts stored in ArgoCD Application files.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit unclear why a file isn't picked up and considered for version upgrades. If you have set up a regex, and no files match looks exactly the same as if files match but the contents doesn't.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whitesource Renovate allows us to update just about any version we have defined in source control.
Works great, super simple to setup!
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about WhiteSource Renovate is the power it gives my development teams. By reducing toil and increasing automation, WhiteSource Renovate has accelerated our development and business workflows. The variety of ways to leverage WhiteSource Renovate is truly compelling, the possibilities are endless. Given that many of these features and capabilities are available freely, there's really absolutely no downside in giving WhiteSource Renovate a try. Documentation is always the hardest, but WhiteSource has done a great job in providing easy onboarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Introducing WhiteSource Renovate to our development team took time for them to realize all the tasks they could automate. In some ways the documentation is complete, however some feedback I receives when working with the development team was to increase the number of examples. It would be helpful to provide additional links to sample workflows, and even some very complex ones that pull together regex, with package monitoring.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dependency tracking, Helm chart monitoring, Docker image monitoring - before WhiteSource Renovate we had to manually watch for and commit changes for all dependencies used in our projects and update them manually. Once we implemented WhiteSource Renovate into our workflow, many of these challenges were simplified our fully eliminated. We are definitely looking into ways in how we can leverage WhiteSource Renovate further and where we can use it additionally in our developer workflows. Our developers are certainly excited to see what can be automated using WhiteSource Renovate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the Documentation, it's always the best resource
