I’ll admit this is a bit of a rant, but after spending the last three months trying to get a team up to speed on Black Duck, I’ve hit a wall with the official onboarding. The documentation feels like it’s written for someone who already knows the tool inside out, and the video tutorials are often outdated or skip over critical configuration steps.
What saved us was turning to the community forums and a few dedicated Slack channels. Real users sharing their actual project structures, how they set up policies to reduce noise, and even their scripts for automating scans gave us more actionable insight than any of the vendor-provided materials. It makes me wonder how common this experience is.
Has anyone else found themselves relying almost entirely on community knowledge to get Black Duck working effectively? I’m particularly interested in how you handled the initial policy setup and integrating it into existing CI/CD pipelines—those were the roughest parts for us.
