Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 8, 2024

ImmuniWeb and Coverity compete in the software security and quality sector. Coverity appears to have the upper hand due to its detailed code analysis and vulnerability management features, despite ImmuniWeb's cost-effectiveness and strong support.

Features: ImmuniWeb offers integration capabilities, a user-friendly API, and efficient security testing. Coverity provides detailed code analysis, vulnerability management, and deep insights critical for developers.

Room for Improvement: ImmuniWeb needs better report customization, API extensibility, and flexibility in reporting. Coverity should enhance scalability, reduce false positives, and address its false positive rate.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: ImmuniWeb is known for straightforward deployment and responsive customer service. Coverity is more complex to set up but benefits from a robust support system that resolves deployment issues.

Pricing and ROI: ImmuniWeb attracts users with competitive pricing and significant ROI through cost-effective offerings and support. Coverity, while costlier, delivers substantial ROI by enhancing software quality and reducing security risks.

Offers impressive reporting features with user-friendliness and high scalability

The solution can be easily setup but requires heavy integration due to the multiple types of port and programming languages involved. Comparing the resource requirements of the solution I would say it can be installed effortlessly. I would rate the initial setup an eight out of ten. A professional needs some pre-acquired knowledge to manage Coverity's deployment process, but the local solution partners provide support well enough for trouble-free deployment. The overall deployment process of Coverity took around two and a half hours in our organization. The deployment duration depends upon the operating system and resources including high-end RAM and CPU processors.

"Coverity gives advisory and deviation features, which are some of the parts I liked."

More Coverity pros

"The most valuable features are the SLA of Zero false-positives, less time of service development, validation of unlimited patched vulnerabilities, and several others."

"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."

"ImmuniWeb boasts a robust vulnerability detection mechanism, formidable threat mitigation, and an efficient remediation process, incorporating automation techniques and ALM strategies. The solution is highly stable. The solution is scalable. Editing Key Points for Review "Review about ImmuniWeb" What is our primary use case? We use the solution when we face challenges and urgent attention is needed for complex cases from our clients. To address this, we collaborate with the middleware, internal, and client teams to analyze and sort through intricate logs concerning our business cybersecurity program. How has it helped my organization? The solution helped us with one of our clients in the New York area contacted us about a data breach. In response, we swiftly organized a case meeting involving our client, internal, and email customer support teams. Together, we conducted an incident response, facilitating offline assistance for proper planning and risk management processes.

ImmuniWeb boasts a robust vulnerability detection mechanism, formidable threat mitigation, and an efficient remediation process, incorporating automation techniques and ALM strategies. It also focuses on consumer satisfaction and operates in English-speaking markets, primarily required by the UAE, the United States, Canada, and Australia, among other developed countries.

I rate it a perfect ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution is scalable. I rate it a nine out of ten. How are customer service and support? Support is generally excellent"

"The initial setup process is user-friendly."

"After the assessment, you clearly know which assets require penetration testing."

"ImmuniWeb is stable."

"I like the fully automated continuous discovery run by ImmuniWeb in the background. We do not need to rerun the same tests or the same scanning against our resources. We need to supply our IP addresses, domain names, and significant resources with special domain names and URLs, and we need to do it only once. Then we always have an up-to-date picture. I also like the integration with our single sign-on system. We do not need to maintain a separate set of usernames or user accounts. We can plug this ImmuniWeb service into our authentication technology, enabling two-factor authentication. We have secure authentication right out of the box. The other important feature I like is the executive view. You can easily switch from a technical view to an executive view and have a helicopter view of the compliance status. We can see how much effort is required and our current status."

Cons

"Coverity takes a lot of time to dereference null pointers."

"The quality of the code needs improvement."

"The product could be enhanced by providing video troubleshooting guides, making issue resolution more accessible. Troubleshooting without visual guides can be time-consuming."

"When I put my code into Coverity for scanning, the code information of the product is in the system. The solution could be improved by providing a SBOM, a software bill of material."

"The tool needs to improve its reporting."

"Some features are not performing well, like duplicate detection and switch case situations."

"The product lacks sufficient customization options."

"SCM integration is very poor in Coverity."

More Coverity cons

"The deployment process on the cloud is straightforward, while on-premise can be complex. Support is generally excellent, although there can be delays in ticket resolution."

"The product’s interface for the web applications could be similar to Android and iOS versions."

"A great idea would be to support using Discovery on the internal network, allowing delivery of all the features of the current Discovery to internal network resources."

"Its technical support could be better."

"It would be better if they had an automated tagging feature. The tagging functionality currently requires manual tagging, and that's probably the most needed feature from my standpoint. We also do not have enough tools, enough features, or options to display different resources in the way we need. There are basic grouping and some filtering features, but we still cannot fully separate some flavors of our resources. However, we may not be aware of the latest features."

"ImmuniWeb sometimes shows previous scans instead of running tests."

"A great idea would be to make a mobile application for the ImmuniWeb portal so that all information would be available on the go and from a mobile phone as well. It would be much more convenient."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is somewhere in the middle. It's neither cheap nor expensive. I would rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"The pricing is very reasonable compared to other platforms. It is based on a three year license."

"The solution's pricing is comparable to other products."

"This is a pretty expensive solution. The overall value of the solution could be improved if the price was reduced. Licensing is done on an annual basis."

"The price is competitive with other solutions."

"I rate Coverity's price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Coverity is very expensive."

"The pricing is on the expensive side, and we are paying for a couple of items."

More Coverity pricing and cost advice

"It is pretty expensive."

"ImmuniWeb is relatively cheap. It's a competitive price compared to other products in the marketplace. It's worth the money we are paying for it."

"The values of ImmuniWeb are currently significantly below what is valued in the Chilean market for these services and solutions."

"The platform is expensive if a large development is involved. However, it is less expensive for scheduled-based testing, quarterly or in a year."

"There should be the flexibility to change or add pricing, especially for pay-per-use cases."

"I use the product's free version. The tool costs around 229 dollars."
