We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool.""The product detects memory corruptions.""When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences.""The outputs are very reliable."

""The product is very good just the way it is; It has everything already well established and functions great. I can't see any way for this current version to be improved."""I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis.""The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications.""PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running.""BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding.""The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure.""The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price.""The reporting part is the most valuable. It also has very good features. We use almost all of the features for different kinds of customers and needs."

Cons
"I'd like the data to be taken from any format.""The tool has some stability issues.""Using Code Prover on large applications crashes sometimes.""Automation could be a challenge.""One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run."

"One thing that is not up to the mark in PortSwigger is web application testing. I found some issues with its performance and reporting. They should work on these and give us a better outcome.""The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad.""The pricing of the solution is quite high.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""The one feature that I would like to see in Burp is active scanning of REST based web services. A lot of organizations are providing APIs to access their services to support different business models like SaaS. Scanning these APIs is still a challenge for many security product companies.""We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product.""There were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it.""The Burp Collaborator needs improvement. There also needs to be improved integration."

    Overview

    Polyspace Code Prover is a sound static analysis tool that proves the absence of overflow, divide-by-zero, out-of-bounds array access, and certain other run-time errors in C and C++ source code. It produces results without requiring program execution, code instrumentation, or test cases. Polyspace Code Prover uses semantic analysis and abstract interpretation based on formal methods to verify software interprocedural, control, and data flow behavior. You can use it on handwritten code, generated code, or a combination of the two. Each operation is color-coded to indicate whether it is free of run-time errors, proven to fail, unreachable, or unproven.
