We performed a comparison between Fortify Static Code Analyzer and Kiuwan Insights based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Static Code Analysis solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the Fortify taxonomy as it provides us with a list of all of the vulnerabilities found. Fortify release updated rule packs quarterly, with accompanying documentation, that lets us know what new features are being released."
"The integration Subset core integration, using Jenkins is one of the good features."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. It is such a flexible tool. It can be implemented in a number of ways. It can do anything you want it to do. It can be fully automated within a DevOps pipeline. It can also be used in an ad hoc, special test case scenario and anywhere in between."
"You can really see what's happening after you've developed something."
"The Software Security Center, which is often overlooked, stands out as the most effective feature."
"Automating the Jenkins plugins and the build title is a big plus."
"The reference provided for each issue is extremely helpful."
"The most valuable features include its ability to detect vulnerabilities accurately and its integration with our CI/CD pipeline."
"Can help in reducing the number of false positives."
"I have found the interface to be perfect."
"The product shows false positives for Python applications."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The troubleshooting capabilities of this solution could be improved. This would reduce the number of cases that users have to submit."
"It can be tricky if you want to exclude some files from scanning. For instance, if you do not want to scan and push testing files to Fortify Software Security Center, that is tricky with some IDEs, such as IntelliJ. We found that there is an Exclude feature that is not working. We reported that to them for future fixing. It needs some work on the plugins to make them consistent across IDEs and make them easier."
"Fortify's software security center needs a design refresh."
"Fortify Static Code Analyzer has a bit of a learning curve, and I don't find it particularly helpful in narrowing down the vulnerabilities we should prioritize."
"The price can be improved."
"Streamlining the upgrade process and enhancing compatibility would make it easier for us to keep our security tools up-to-date."
"The solution is great, but improvement is needed in the number of lines of code allowed, that is the capacity. Pricing can be improved as well."
"The solution has issues detecting intrusive methods."
