"Speed and efficiency are great features."
"It is an extremely robust, scalable, and stable solution."
"Audit workbench: for on-the-fly defect auditing."
"Fortify on Demand can be scaled very easily."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Fortify on Demand's best feature is that there's no need to install and configure it locally since it's on the cloud."
"The most valuable is the developer experience and the extensibility of the overall ecosystem."

"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."
"The solution has some issues with latency. Sometimes it takes a while to respond. This issue should be addressed."
"It natively supports only a few languages. They can include support for more native languages. The response time from the support team can also be improved. They can maybe include video tutorials explaining the remediation process. The remediation process is sometimes not that clear. It would be helpful to have videos. Sometimes, the solution that the tool gives in the GUI is not straightforward to understand for the developer. At present, for any such issues, you have to create a ticket for the support team and request help from the support team."
