"The Software Security Center, which is often overlooked, stands out as the most effective feature."
"We write software, and therefore, the most valuable aspect for us is basically the code analysis part."
"We've found the documentation to be very good."
"The reference provided for each issue is extremely helpful."
"You can really see what's happening after you've developed something."
"Fortify Static Code Analyzer tells us if there are any security leaks or not. If there are, then it's notifying us and does not allow us to pass the DevOps pipeline. If it is finds everything's perfect, as per our given guidelines, then it is allowing us to go ahead and start it, and we are able to deploy it."
"I have found the interface to be perfect."
"Can help in reducing the number of false positives."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The product shows false positives for Python applications."
"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."
"Not all languages are supported in Fortify."
"Fortify Static Code Analyzer is a good solution, but sometimes we receive false positives. If they could reduce the number of false positives it would be good."
"Their licensing is expensive."
"Fortify's software security center needs a design refresh."
"The troubleshooting capabilities of this solution could be improved. This would reduce the number of cases that users have to submit."
"The solution has issues detecting intrusive methods."
"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."
