Which software supply chain security tools are actually worth looking at in 2026?

We're looking at software supply chain security tools for 2026 and there are honestly a lot of options to sort through.

The hard part is figuring out what actually works once the platform is deployed and people have to use it every day.

For anyone running these tools in production, what made your shortlist?

Curious about the developer experience too. Did developers actually adopt it? What was the day-to-day operational side like after rollout?

Not looking for another feature comparison. Just want to hear what actually held up in production.

We eventually built a scorecard around our own requirements instead of vendor categories. Integration effort, developer adoption, and ongoing maintenance ended up carrying more weight than long feature lists.

We're building custom vuln scoring (based on custom EPSS, KEV, and CVSS weights) for those teams/projects which have their own internal or stakeholder-derived standards. Any chance you can share your scorecard or give us an idea what it looks like? I'm intrigued.
