"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."

"I would like to see better integration with Azure DevOps in the next release of this solution."
"It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality."
"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."
"The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report."
"The product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"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."

"Perhaps more languages supported."
"Sometimes the response time is low because the handshake fails, and then you have to re-login and start again."
"The reporting contains too many false positives."
"The scanner reports a lot of false positives, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The product should allow users to upload their payloads."
"The pricing does not seem to be competitive."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly."
"The solution needs to adjust its pricing. They should make it more affordable."
