CAST Highlight requires clearer issue descriptions, simpler customer use, and better developer support. Its costs are high and licensing for multiple tools is inconvenient. Improvements could include separate language insights, reporting by code lines, and refined support, especially with source code sharing. There's a learning curve and occasional bugs. Customization and categorization for platform-specific blockers, along with a lighter dashboard version, would enhance usability. Prompt support response, especially without R&D delays, is necessary.
