Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very stable.""It provides reports about a lot of potential defects.""Coverity is easy to set up and has a less lengthy process to find vulnerabilities.""The product is easy to use.""The app analysis is the most valuable feature as I know other solutions don't have that.""The most valuable feature is that there were not a whole lot of false positives, at least on the codebases that I looked at.""The most valuable feature of Coverity is its software security feature called the Checker. If you share some vulnerability or weakness then the software can find any potential security bug or defect. The code integration tool enables some secure coding standards and implements some Checkers for Live Duo. So we can enable secure coding and Azure in this tool. So in our software, we can make sure our software combines some industry supervised data.""It is a scalable solution."

"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities.""The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities.""The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful.""The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats.""All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The setup of the solution is straightforward. The Return on Investment is substantial. I recommend the solution to all.""We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""The solution is stable.""The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons
"The tool needs to improve its reporting.""Its price can be improved. Price is always an issue with Synopsys.""We use GitHub and Gitflow, and Coverity does not fit with Gitflow. I have to create a screen for our branches, and it's a pain for developers. It has been difficult to integrate Coverity with our system.""There should be additional IDE support.""The product could be enhanced by providing video troubleshooting guides, making issue resolution more accessible. Troubleshooting without visual guides can be time-consuming.""It would be great if we could customize the rules to focus on critical issues.""Coverity is far from perfection, and I'm not 100 percent sure it's helping me find what I need to find in my role. We need exactly what we are looking for, i.e. security errors and vulnerabilities. It doesn't seem to be reporting while we are changing our code.""The level of vulnerability that this solution covers could be improved compared to other open source tools."

More Coverity Cons →

"The reporting has a very limited customization capability.""The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly.""The report customization needs to be better.""The platform's technical support services could be better.""I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific.""It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly.""The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
