CAST SBOM Manager vs OTNOS SBOM 360

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.

OTNOS SBOM 360 helps operational technology manufacturers analyze, monitor and report software products in response to the Cyber Resilience Act. It accepts CycloneDX and SPDX SBOMs and can produce CycloneDX VEX, OpenVEX and SBOMs containing embedded VEX. A read-only GitHub app links repositories to products and refreshes SBOMs after default-branch pushes and nightly checks. OTNOS mirrors more than 400,000 vulnerability advisories, syncs them daily and queries locally without sending component names outside the tenant. Findings include severity, EPSS, installed and fixed versions, CISA KEV status and EUVD identifiers. Users can record whether a finding is affected, not affected, fixed or under investigation, with supporting rationale and decision history. The platform drafts all 39 ENISA Single Reporting Platform fields for Article 14 reports and supports configurable alerts for new advisories, fixes, KEV listings and rising EPSS scores. Application and database data run in Germany; files and backups remain in EU regions. The Free plan costs $0/forever; Professional and Enterprise pricing is custom.
