We performed a comparison between Klocwork and Qualys Web Application Scanning 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 reporting helps us understand the trend of our results and whether we improve over time. We can see the history within Klocwork's server architecture and know that we're making things better. It creates a great story for our management. We can demonstrate value and how our software is developing over time."
"I like not having to dig through false positives. Chasing down a false positive can take anywhere from five minutes for a small easy one, then something that is complicated and goes through a whole bunch of different class cases, and it can take up to 45 minutes to an hour to find out if it is a false positive or not."
"It's integrated into our CI, continuous integration."
"The most valuable feature of Klocwork is finding defects while you're doing the coding. For example, if you have an IDE plug-in of Klocwork on Visual Studio or Eclipse, you can find the faults; similar to using spell check on Word, you can find out defects during the development phase, which means that you don't have to wait till the development is over to find the flaws and address the deficiencies. I also find language support in Klocwork good because it used to support only C, C++, C#, and Java, but now, it also supports Java scripts and Python."
"One can increase the number of vendors, so the solution is scalable."
"There's a feature in Klocwork called 'on-the-fly analysis', which helps developers to find and fix the defects at the time of development itself."
"On-the-fly analysis and incremental analysis are the best parts of Klocwork. Currently, we are using both of these features very effectively."
"There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely."
"It is easy to use."
"We have experienced quick customer support. They have a complete list of our previous issues along with our history, which makes it faster for them to solve issues."
"The vulnerability management feature is a strong one. And also the patch management feature."
"You can integrate your Burp Suite results and create an integrated report. Also, the way it shows the results - threats and exploit details - makes remediation very easy."
"Qualys' process of updating signatures is something we really appreciate, and it's way ahead of its industry peers."
"By using QualysGuard, we are able to finish external scans with assured results in half the time."
"The product prevents possible vulnerabilities in our network."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the progressive scan. It is good. It's done in 24 hours."
"Modern languages, such as Angular and .NET, should be included as a part of Klocwork. They have recently added Kotlin as a part of their project, but we would like to see more languages in Klocwork. That's the reason we are using Coverity as a backup for some of the other languages."
"We bought Klocwork, but it was limited to one little program, but the program is now sort of failing. So, we have a license for usage on a program that is sort of failing, and we really can't use the license on anything else."
"This solution could be improved if they offered support of more languages including Ada and Golang. They currently only support seven languages."
"I would like to see better codes between projects and a more user-friendly desktop in the next release."
"Klocwork does have a problem with true positives. It only found 30% of true positives in the Juliet test case."
"I believe it should support more languages, such as Python and JavaScript."
"Klocwork has to improve its features to stay ahead of other free solutions."
"What needs improvement in Klocwork, compared to other products in the market, is the dashboard or reporting mechanisms that need to be a bit more flexible. The Klocwork dashboard could be improved. Though it's good, it's not as good as some of the other products in the market, which is a problem. The reporting could be more detailed and easier to sort out because sorting in Klocwork could be a bit more time-consuming, mainly when sorting defects based on filters, compared to how it's done on other tools such as Coverity."
"The reporting contains too many false positives."
"The solution needs to adjust its pricing. They should make it more affordable."
"The software’s pricing could be improved."
"Sometimes the response time is low because the handshake fails, and then you have to re-login and start again."
"The scanner reports a lot of false positives, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The virus code updates are not frequent enough."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning is very complex to use, and its graphical interface is not very user-friendly."
"It should have better automatic reporting."
