"I like that I can scan the code without sending it to the Kiuwan cloud. I can do it locally on my device. When the local analyzer finishes, the results display on the dashboard in the cloud. It's essential for security purposes to be able to scan my code locally."
"Software analytics for a lot of different languages including ABAP."
"It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company."
"With our vulnerabilities under control, it's putting our services in compliance and minimizing our risk for exposure."

"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on."
"Integration of the programming tools could be improved."
"The solution seems to give us a lot of false positives. This could be improved quite a bit."
"The QA developer and security could be improved."
"Perhaps more languages supported."
"In terms of the Policy Compliance model which they currently have, not all the platforms are being covered. If they could improve on the Policy Compliance model, since there are policies which are benchmarked against it, this will be helpful for us."
"It should have better automatic reporting."
"They should try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing."
"When comparing this solution to Veracode, Veracode has good interactive features and gives a clear understanding of what the vulnerabilities are, which error line of the vulnerability is on and what can be done. It gives interactive features, whereas this solution does not give a clear understanding of where or how to fix the problem."
"The GUI could be a little less complicated as it opens a lot of new windows for creating search lists, templates, reports, or for scanning purposes."
"The pricing does not seem to be competitive."
"There could be better management and faster scanning."
"The UI is not user-friendly and you don't have a yearly reporting facility where you can slice and dice in different jobs."
