"Coverity gives advisory and deviation features, which are some of the parts I liked."
"It's very stable."
"Provides software security, and helps to find potential security bugs or defects."
"The most valuable feature of Coverity is the wrapper. We use the wrapper to build the C++ component, then we use the other code analysis to analyze the code to the build object, and then send back the result to the SonarQube server. Additionally, it is a powerful capabilities solution."
"The solution effectively identifies bugs in code."
"The solution has helped to increase staff productivity and improved our work significantly by approximately 20 percent."
"Coverity is easy to set up and has a less lengthy process to find vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features of Synopsys API Security Testing are the metrics, results, and threat vectors that it shares."
"The reporting tool integration process is sometimes slow."

"We'd like it to be faster."
"It should be easier to specify your own validation routines and sanitation routines."
"Ideally, it would have a user-based license that does not have a restriction in the number of lines of code."
"They could improve the usability. For example, how you set things up, even though it's straightforward, it could be still be easier."
"Right now, the Coverity executable is around 1.2GB to download. If they can reduce it to approximately 600 or 700MB, that would be great. If they decrease the executable, it will be much easier to work in an environment like Docker."
"The solution required us to use our team and we spoke to Synopsys API Security Testing's support to do the implementation. We use two people from our team for the implementation. and one person for maintenance."
