CAST SBOM Manager vs sbomify

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.
