CAST SBOM Manager vs Exodos Labs

CAST SBOM Manager analyzes source code and creates Software Bills of Materials for software product owners, release managers, and compliance specialists. SBOM creation can start from application code, existing files, Git repositories, or CAST Highlight results. A dashboard presents components, vulnerabilities, licenses, obsolescence, languages, topics, and file extensions. Users can define proprietary components with custom descriptions, licenses, vulnerabilities, copyrights, and programming languages, then place components in catalogs for reuse. License tools support custom definitions and management of open-source risks, requirements, obsolescence, and copyrights. Vulnerability information includes CVEs from NIST’s NVD and advisories from GitHub and GitLab, with custom vulnerabilities also supported. SBOMs can be imported from multiple formats and exported as Excel, Word, or CycloneDX. Multiple versions can be managed, and exported contents can be tailored for different audiences. The product runs on Linux and Windows with cloud or on-premises deployment. A free download is listed at free.

Exodos Labs manages, shares, and operationalizes software bills of materials (SBOMs) across the software supply chain. It ingests SBOMs from CI/CD pipelines, APIs, and suppliers, tracks them across builds, releases, and products, and applies validation and quality gates. Scans assess vulnerabilities, FOSS license and compliance issues, component health, and geopolitical supply-chain risks. The Community plan supports CycloneDX and SPDX formats. Secure Exchange provides access controls by organization, role, purpose, or time, alongside redaction, request workflows, and audit logs. Integrations include Cloudsmith, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines, custom build systems, vulnerability scanners, SIEM platforms, and risk management systems. Deployment options listed are cloud-hosted, private, and hybrid. Community costs nothing and includes one user and one API key. Team costs $29 a month, on annual contracts billed yearly; Professional costs $1,240 a month on annual contracts billed yearly. The platform is aimed at security, compliance, and engineering teams, including organizations in regulated environments.
