Mend: cybersecurity software

Mend was Snyk's main competitor early for quick open source scanning in pipeline, but did not expand as quickly as Snyk into other areas. Their open source Renovate tool is great for keeping your in-house dependencies up to date, but their UI and scanning engine were more difficult to deploy, maintain, and navigate. However, due to Renovate they have unique visibility into the expected challenge of a version upgrade. They've recently expanded most heavily into MLBOM capabilities.
