I've noticed that in Spain, Kiuwan is more familiar and widespread compared to other tools. When clients lack the knowledge to choose a tool, IT companies often step in to bridge the gap. In Spain, there's a strong focus on Kiuwan because it's easier to integrate and develop rules. Presently, I'm also working with Checkmarx, and it seems that these two tools are among the most commonly used in Spain.

As for Checkmarx, it offers two types of installation: Checkmarx on-premise and  Checkmarx. The on-premise version allows for customizable analyses based on the lines and workstation capabilities, catering to different business sizes. Kiuwan, on the other hand, appears to have a single version without variations, unlike Checkmarx's options.

We ran a project to evaluate solutions and we finally chose Kiuwan. For the evaluation, we weighed both price and technical aspects of the tool, equally. We found that this is a cheaper tool for the level of quality.

We tried putting the same piece of code into different tools. For example, in Java, the tools have similar results. So for Java, there's a low cost, and the preference is for the content of the coders. For mobile development, we are not too experienced, and it is not the perfect tool because the integration with certain products is very manual. The price, however, justifies adopting this product.

We looked at Fortify and Checkmarx, but the costs were way too high

It was too difficult for us to evaluate different solutions. That said, I recall the other options being, for example, Veracode and SonarQube. There may have been more options that we considered evaluating as well, however, I don't recall the names of them.

We compared Kiuwan with other local solutions in Spain. We found Kiuwan had the best rates and price capabilities.

We did very careful research of solutions on the market and chose this one for our demos.

CAST, Sonar, and Clarify.

Before choosing this product, we evaluated other options.

We looked at Sonar.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing this one.
