We performed a comparison between Fortify on Demand and GitHub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface is good."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Fortify on Demand can be scaled very easily."
"It improves future security scans."
"Speed and efficiency are great features."
"The licensing was good."
"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."
"Provides good depth of scanning and we get good results."
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features."
"The version control functionality for this solution has been most valuable, especially when managing projects with multiple versions."
"GitHub is good for collaboration because everyone can access it or we can restrict access to a few users. If I upload a file and share the URL, it's not restricted to a set number of users. Everyone with the link can download the files."
"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."
"It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"This solution is very easy to use which I like about it. The capacity to own artifacts and share them with others is another good feature. You don't have to write all your code from scratch, you can use available templates and alter the code according to your needs."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it's cloud-based, and we don't have to manage an on-premises server to use it."
"The most valuable features of GitHub are the ease of integration into Microsoft Azure DevOps. The process that you need to deploy into Microsoft Azure becomes fairly simple and the templates are already available, a lot of the engineers find it easier to use."
"If you have a continuous integration in place, for example, and you want it to run along with your build and you want it to be fast, you're not going to get it. It adds to your development time."
"Sometimes when we run a full scan, we have a bunch of issues in the code. We should not have any issues."
"New technologies and DevOps could be improved. Fortify on Demand can be slow (slower than other vendors) to support new technologies or new software versions."
"I would like the solution to add AI support."
"The technical support is actually a problem that needs to be addressed. Since the acquisition and merger with Hewlett Packard, it has been really hard to know who the technical or salesperson to talk to."
"This solution would be improved if the code-quality perspective were added to it, on top of the security aspect."
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand could improve the reports. They could benefit from being more user-friendly and intuitive."
"There were some regulated compliances, which were not there."
"GitHub could have better integration or capability with other solutions."
"We would like this solution to have a more user-friendly interface."
"The user interface on GitLab is better."
"It is currently only from the development perspective. It doesn't have features related to project management and testing. It is not like Azure. So, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is a version control product, and it would be good if they can come up with a complete DevOps product."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"The solution needs some more controls for deleting code."
"GitHub uses basic configuration, but messaging is not clear."
