"The outputs are very reliable."
"Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect."

"Many silly false positives are produced."
"The tool should improve its output. Scanning is not a challenge anymore since there are many such tools available in the market. The product needs to focus on how its output is being used by end users. It should be also more user-friendly. One of the major challenges is in the tool's integration with applications that need to be scanned. Sometimes, the scanning is not proper."
"The databases for HCL are small and have room for improvement."
"HCL AppScan needs to improve security."

"The tool has some stability issues."
"One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run."
