Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."Coverity is scalable."
"The interface of Coverity is quite good, and it is also easy to use."
"Coverity is easy to set up and has a less lengthy process to find vulnerabilities."
"I like Coverity's capability to scan codes once we push it. We don't need more time to review our colleagues' codes. Its UI is pretty straightforward."
"Coverity gives advisory and deviation features, which are some of the parts I liked."
"The product has deeper scanning capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Coverity is its software security feature called the Checker. If you share some vulnerability or weakness then the software can find any potential security bug or defect. The code integration tool enables some secure coding standards and implements some Checkers for Live Duo. So we can enable secure coding and Azure in this tool. So in our software, we can make sure our software combines some industry supervised data."
"We were very comfortable with the initial setup."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
"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."
"It would be great if we could customize the rules to focus on critical issues."
"The setup takes very long."
"Sometimes, vulnerabilities remain unidentified even after setting up the rules."
"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."
"SCM integration is very poor in Coverity."
"Coverity takes a lot of time to dereference null pointers."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
