Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Snyk, CAST and others in Software Development Analytics."Used for controlling the technical debt and code quality."
"CAST's risk and security flow detection capabilities are highly effective, particularly in identifying security vulnerabilities. It is one of the most important and valuable features of the platform."
"Our clients use CAST Highlight for cloud migration. This allows them to remove or remediate the blockers which are highlighted. This part of the solution shows improvement in quality and captures feedback for our clients."
"It supports most programming languages."
"The most valuable feature of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is its security dashboard which is a dedicated dashboard that's pretty helpful because it gives compliance checks based on some of the leading frameworks in the industry, such as ISO 5055, OWASP, CWE Top 25, and NIST security guidelines. I find the security dashboard of the solution and the information it provides pretty useful. The security dashboard of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is a feature that stands out."
"The solution effectively identifies bugs in code."
"The most valuable feature is that there were not a whole lot of false positives, at least on the codebases that I looked at."
"The reporting feature is up to the mark."
"The product has been beneficial in logging functionality, allowing me to categorize vulnerabilities based on severity. This aids in providing updated reports on subsequent scans."
"It's pretty stable. I rate the stability of Coverity nine out of ten."
"The interface of Coverity is quite good, and it is also easy to use."
"The security analysis features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Coverity is easy to set up and has a less lengthy process to find vulnerabilities."
"Areas for improvement in CAST AIP include enhancing support for implementation in complex environments and improving technical support to address organizational challenges alongside engineering issues."
"Implementation could be made more simpler as it is complex."
"The overall coverage of rules could be improved in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform because it does not cater to or cover all. For example, 2022 CWE coverage is still not available in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. The solution also covers some NIST rules, but it does not cater to all rules. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next update of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is for it to provide source code developer and contributor details, especially information on which areas of code were touched. This would be a good insight as the CAST Application Intelligence Platform looks into the source code."
"The integration of this solution could be improved."
"It has very few plugins to access different code repositories, so source code has to be fed."
"Sometimes, vulnerabilities remain unidentified even after setting up the rules."
"The product should include more customization options. The analytics is not as deep as compared to SonarQube."
"Coverity is not stable."
"The level of vulnerability that this solution covers could be improved compared to other open source tools."
"SCM integration is very poor in Coverity."
"There should be additional IDE support."
"Coverity is far from perfection, and I'm not 100 percent sure it's helping me find what I need to find in my role. We need exactly what we are looking for, i.e. security errors and vulnerabilities. It doesn't seem to be reporting while we are changing our code."
"Right now, the Coverity executable is around 1.2GB to download. If they can reduce it to approximately 600 or 700MB, that would be great. If they decrease the executable, it will be much easier to work in an environment like Docker."
