"The features I find most valuable is that our entire company can publish the analysis results into our central space."
"I encountered a bug with Coverity, and I opened a ticket. Support provided me with a workaround. So it's working at the moment, or at least it seems to be."
"This solution is easy to use."
"Coverity gives advisory and deviation features, which are some of the parts I liked."
"The app analysis is the most valuable feature as I know other solutions don't have that."
"We were very comfortable with the initial setup."
"It's very stable."
"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."
"Reporting engine needs to be more robust."
"When I put my code into Coverity for scanning, the code information of the product is in the system. The solution could be improved by providing a SBOM, a software bill of material."
"The product could be enhanced by providing video troubleshooting guides, making issue resolution more accessible. Troubleshooting without visual guides can be time-consuming."
"Sometimes it's a bit hard to figure out how to use the product’s UI."
"The setup takes very long."
"Coverity could improve the ease of use. Sometimes things become difficult and you need to follow the guides from the website but the guides could be better."
"Some features are not performing well, like duplicate detection and switch case situations."
"We actually specified several checkers, but we found some checkers had a higher false positive rate. I think this is a problem. Because we have to waste some time is really the issue because the issue is not an issue. I mean, the tool pauses or an issue, but the same issue is the filter now.Some check checkers cannot find some issues, but sometimes they find issues that are not relevant, right, that are not really issues. Some customisation mechanism can be added in the next release so that we can define our Checker. The Modelling feature provided by Coverity helps in finding more information for potential issues but it is not mature enough, it should be mature. The fast testing feature for security testing campaign can be added as well. So if you correctly integrate it with the training team, maybe you can help us to find more potential issues."
"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
