SBOMs are becoming foundational to product security in regulated environments, making tool selection critical to security, compliance, and developer efficiency. This report compares Interlynk and Dependency-Track, two widely used tools addressing different aspects of SBOM automation.


Dependency-Track focuses primarily on self-managed, self-hosted SBOM workflows with vulnerability and license auditing at its core.


  • Interlynk delivers a comprehensive SBOM platform that automates SBOM and VEX across the product development lifecycle.

  • Compared to Interlynk, Dependency-Track lacks SBOM data quality management and full SPDX support.

  • Dependency-Track also lacks composition and enrichment workflows, native developer integrations, and AI-assisted analysis.

  • Dependency-Track does not provide automatic regulatory updates or enterprise-grade support.
