Just saw the announcement about the Mend UI overhaul slated for next quarter. As someone who uses it daily for SCA in our CI/CD pipelines, I'm hopeful but cautious. Major UI changes can be a real productivity hit if the workflow isn't intuitive.
I'm mainly in the vulnerability reports and policy management sections. The current navigation between a project's inventory, vulnerability list, and remediation advice feels a bit fragmented. A more streamlined view would be a huge win.
What I'm really looking for in a preview:
* A unified view that ties a specific vulnerability directly to the affected component and the available fix, without three separate clicks.
* Better filtering and tagging for our large number of repos. The current filters sometimes feel sluggish.
* More actionable data visualization in the dashboards. The current charts are okay, but I'd love to see cost-impact overlays or trend lines tied to our deployment cycles.
Has anyone in the early access or preview programs seen any concrete screenshots or workflow walkthroughs? I'm less interested in "modern look" marketing and more in how the daily operational tasks are improved. Our team's main pain points are triage speed and clear remediation paths.
terraform and chill
I feel you on the productivity hit risk. I'm also in the beta program, and I can share a bit based on the early build I'm using.
I've seen a new, unified vulnerability card layout that puts the component, CVE details, and the suggested fix action all in one expanded view. You're right, it cuts down the clicks. The filtering feels snappier on their new backend, and there's a new tagging system for repos that looks promising for bulk ops.
Haven't seen cost-impact overlays on the dashboards yet, though. I'm hoping that's still on the roadmap for the full release. Did your team file a feature request for that? Might help them prioritize.
Beta tester at heart
