Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026

CAST SBOM Manager is desktop software for creating, reviewing, and maintaining software bills of materials. It is aimed at software product owners, release managers, and compliance specialists who need to build SBOMs, inspect component inventories, and maintain records across product versions. The tool can analyze source code, files, Git repositories, and CAST Highlight results, while also accepting existing SBOM files. It is available for Windows and Linux and can also be used as an extension to CAST Highlight.

Its freemium model supports up to 25 SBOMs for one year. The core workflow covers component inventory, SBOM detail navigation, vulnerability visibility through CVEs and security advisories, and license inventory. Teams can define proprietary components, manage custom licenses and metadata, create reusable component catalogs, and maintain multiple SBOM versions. These capabilities make the product suitable when an SBOM process needs more structure than simple file generation. Customization for different audiences and exports to CycloneDX, Excel, and Word also support review and distribution across technical, compliance, and business stakeholders.

Platform fit is strongest for teams already working with GitHub, GitLab, Git repositories, or CAST Highlight. Import and export support helps connect existing SBOM material with downstream review processes, while CycloneDX provides a defined exchange format. CAST SBOM Manager is a sensible choice for organizations prioritizing inventory, vulnerability and license visibility, metadata control, and version management. Teams seeking a broader application portfolio capability, or a less desktop-focused workflow, should consider whether its Windows and Linux availability and CAST Highlight relationship match their operating model.

CAST SBOM Manager pros and cons

    • Tracks vulnerabilities, licenses, proprietary components, and custom metadata
    • Manages versions and exports to CycloneDX, Excel, and Word
  • Where it doesn't
    • Available only on Windows and Linux
    • The free allowance is limited to 25 SBOMs and one year
    • A focused SBOM tool rather than a broad application portfolio platform
