Fortify on Demand Scalability

CP
Architecture Manager at Alinma Bank

It is a quite scalable product. We can start small with single instances and gradually scale up with multiple instances. This scalability aspect is similar to SonarQube as well. 

When the scan load increases, we reach a threshold where we may need to purchase additional resources or adjust our pricing brackets. For instance, if I exceed one million lines of code, there might be an extra cost or a change in the pricing bracket. 

However, the cost we see initially is different and covers up to one million lines of code. Overall, it's quite manageable to handle the loads we encounter.

I would rate its scalability capabilities nine out of ten. Our approach involves a centralized team, and we conduct scans across all applications within UBS. Throughout my experience, we've successfully scanned 150 applications.

Project Manager at Everis

We haven't tried to scale the solution just yet. As we didn't take the SaaS solution, scalability may be limited for us. I'm unsure. I can't really comment on that.

Currently, we have about 20 people on the development team.

Right now, we don't plan to increase usage.

Scalability is lacking in the sense that I cannot run multiple scans at once. It only accepts one scan at a time. On the other hand, if I want to scan two 3GB programs, it will handle that.

Usually, I just run it against a single application. I don't know how it is if you are running it across a large enterprise.

Our clients are medium to large businesses. We have a lot of Fortune 500 companies, and scalability is very important to us. Our product is made to scale to hundreds of millions of findings from various tools.

It is extremely scalable and flexible. We scan very small applications from our in-house innovations team and all the way up to millions of lines of code from our e-commerce teams. We currently have about 50 users, but the number varies. Some development teams are fairly small, and some are fairly large.

JE
CISO at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees

Scalability is irrelevant to us because it's in the cloud. For the past few years, we've been using it in the cloud, so it's a common scanner. It's not handling transactions. It's not a firewall or an antivirus that you have doing real-time transactions. It looks at the code and the volume of code we migrate. We write a lot of code every week, but it's still within reason. We're not talking about thousands of developers sending code at the same time. So I don't think that scalability was much in our conversation.

The product is being used by the e-commerce application development team, and we have senior developers who are responsible to scan and evaluate security concerns that come out of the product. We also have a lead security person and a development team who are responsible to oversee this and ensure that the issues are being addressed.

Deployment and maintenance, are not really applicable because it was somebody at DNH working with the company, setting it up. We did not put it into part of the platform of real-time migration, such that the code automatically goes there, marks it, and allows it to go to production or not. We didn't go that route, so it really didn't need too many people to be involved in the deployment.

For code scans, company size doesn't really matter so much as the size of the code. It works well with the code scans we're running. Our lines of code aren't as huge as other applications we build, and it doesn't support every type of our applications, which are primarily .NET and HPE apps.
