Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most important feature of the product is to follow today's technology fast, updated rules and algorithms (of the product).""The most valuable feature is that it connects with your development platforms, such as Microsoft Information Server and Jira.""The solution is user-friendly. One feature I find very effective is the tool's automatic scanning capability. It scans replicas of the code developers write and automatically detects any vulnerabilities. The integration with CI/CD tools is also useful for plugins.""Micro Focus WebInspect and Fortify code analysis tools are fully integrated with SSC portals and can instantly register to error tracking systems, like TFS and JIRA.""The solution scans our code and provides us with a dashboard of all the vulnerabilities and the criticality of the vulnerabilities. It is very useful that they provide right then and there all the information about the vulnerability, including possible fixes, as well as some additional documentation and links to the authoritative sources of why this is an issue and what's the correct way to deal with it.""Its ability to perform different types of scans, keep everything in one place, and track the triage process in Fortify SSC stands out.""The most valuable features of Micro Focus Fortify on Demand have been SAT analysis and application security.""It helps deploy and track changes easily as per time-to-time market upgrades."

"The initial setup is straightforward.""Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product.""We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use.""The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment.""The solution is stable.""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.

Cons
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand could improve the reports. They could benefit from being more user-friendly and intuitive.""They have a release coming out, which is full of new features. Based on their roadmap, there's nothing that I would suggest for them to put in it that they haven't already suggested. However, I am a customer, so I always think the pricing is something that could be improved. I am working with them on that, and they're very flexible. They work with their customers and kind of tailor the product to the customer's needs. So far, I am very happy with what they're able to provide. Their subscriptions could use a little bit of a reworking, but that would be about it."".NET code scanning is still dependent on building the code base before running any scan. Also, it's dependent on an IDE such as Visual Studio.""Fortify on Demand needs to improve its pricing.""Micro Focus Fortify on Demand could improve the user interface by making it more user-friendly.""Takes up a lot of resources which can slow things down.""Not fully integrated with CIT processes.""We would like a reduction in the time frame of scans. It takes us three to five days to run a scan now. We would like that reduced to under three days."

More Fortify on Demand Cons →

"The report customization needs to be better.""It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable.""They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap.""The platform's technical support services could be better.""The dashboard could be more user-friendly.""It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Buying a license would be feasible for regular use. For intermittent use, the cloud-based option can be used (Fortify on Demand)."
  • "We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
  • "The subscription model, on a per-scan basis, is a bit expensive. That's another reason we are not using it for all the apps."
  • "The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
  • "It's a yearly contract, but I don't remember the dollar amount."
  • "The pricing can be improved because it is complex when compared to the competition."
  • "It is quite expensive. Pricing and the licensing model could be improved."
  • "It is cost-effective."
  • More Fortify on Demand Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is okay."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Fortify on Demand solution.

    Dionisio V., Senior System Analyst at Azurian, says, "One of the top features is the source code review for vulnerabilities. When we look at source code, it's hard to see where areas may be weak in terms of security, and Fortify on Demand's source code review helps with that." He goes on to add, “Another reason I like Fortify on Demand is because our code often includes open source libraries, and it's important to know when the library is outdated or if it has any known vulnerabilities in it. This information is important to us when we're developing our solutions and Fortify on Demand informs us when it detects any vulnerable open source libraries.”

    A Security Systems Analyst at a retailer mentions, “Being able to reduce risk overall is a very valuable feature for us.”

    Jayashree A., Executive Manager at PepsiCo, comments, “Once we have our project created with our application pipeline connected to the test scanning, it only takes two minutes. The report explaining what needs to be modified related to security and vulnerabilities in our code is very helpful. We are able to do static and dynamic code scanning. When we are exploring some of the endpoints this solution identifies many loopholes that hackers could utilize for an attack. This has been very helpful and surprising how many vulnerabilities there can be.”

    A Principal Solutions Architect at a security firm explains, “Its ability to perform different types of scans, keep everything in one place, and track the triage process in Fortify SSC stands out.”

    PeerSpot user Mamta J., Co-Founder at TechScalable, states, "Almost all the features are good. This solution has simplified designing and architecting for our solutions. We were early adopters of microservices. Their documentation is good. You don't need to put in much effort in setting it up and learning stuff from scratch and start using it. The learning curve is not too much."

    Tenable.io Web Application Scanning safely, accurately and automatically scans your web applications, providing deep visibility into vulnerabilities and valuable context to prioritize remediation.
