Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the security and QA in the source code to be most valuable."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable in Kiuwan is the speed of scanning. Compared to other SaaS tools I have used, Kiuwan is much quicker in performing scans. I have not yet used it on a large code base, but from what I have experienced, it is efficient and accurate. Additionally, I have used it both manually and in an automated pipeline, and both methods have been effective. The speed of scanning is what makes it valuable to me."
"The solution has a continuous integration process."
"It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company."
"I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison."
"The solution offers very good technical support."
"Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices."
"I find it immensely helpful because it's not just about generating code; it's about ensuring efficiency in the execution."
"On-the-fly analysis and incremental analysis are the best parts of Klocwork. Currently, we are using both of these features very effectively."
"We like using the static analysis and code refactoring, which are very valuable because of our requirements to meet safety critical levels and reliability."
"Klocwork's most valuable feature is the static code analysis feature. It detects the potential problem earlier to allow the developer to receive feedback quickly and then address it before it becomes a problem."
"There's a feature in Klocwork called 'on-the-fly analysis', which helps developers to find and fix the defects at the time of development itself."
"The most valuable feature is the Incremental analysis."
"One can increase the number of vendors, so the solution is scalable."
"The ability to create custom checkers is a plus."
"There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely."
"Integration of the programming tools could be improved."
"The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting."
"The configuration hasn't been that good."
"It could improve its scalability abilities."
"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on."
"Perhaps more languages supported."
"Kiuwan's support has room for improvement. You can only open a ticket is through email, and the support team is outside of our country. They should have a support number or chat."
"In Kiuwan there are sometimes duplicates found in the dependency scan under the "insights" tab. It's unclear to me why these duplicates are appearing, and it would be helpful if the application teams could investigate further."
"Klocwork does have a problem with true positives. It only found 30% of true positives in the Juliet test case."
"I believe it should support more languages, such as Python and JavaScript."
"Now the only issue we have is that whenever we need to get the code we have to build it first. Then we can get the report."
"I would like to see better codes between projects and a more user-friendly desktop in the next release."
"Every update that we receive requires of us a lengthy and involved process."
"Modern languages, such as Angular and .NET, should be included as a part of Klocwork. They have recently added Kotlin as a part of their project, but we would like to see more languages in Klocwork. That's the reason we are using Coverity as a backup for some of the other languages."
"We'd like to see integration with Agile DevOps and Agile methodologies."
"Klocwork has to improve its features to stay ahead of other free solutions."
