The utility tool has OSS equivalents but we've evaluated them all. None of them have the features we need, and adding them would be person-years of work we can't afford.
My hope is to some day open source our internal tool, but we have to wait until the OSS features we need catch up. Until then, we aren't willing to pay the high license fee to redistribute this utility freely.
I'm speaking a little cryptically because I'd rather not have this tied directly to any particular company (neither mine nor the one we license this code from). I'm not speaking on their behalves officially; only my own.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoHmm. Love to know what that tool is but NDA's and policies are what they are. I have an email if you want to send it to me for what advantages it has over similar comparison. Then, on odd chance I see opportunity, I'll nudge someone in direction of trying to bring OSS up to par. No promises it will happen as opportunity has to happen first.
