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.

Simple tool to use, good dashboard capabilities and offers asset criticality ratings

It has good dashboard capabilities and gives good results with priority ratings, asset criticality ratings, and exposure scores for vulnerabilities. It also provides automated web application scanning, which customers appreciate because it doesn't disturb the web application or hamper the business. While testing the web application, sometimes it happens that the website or application goes down. But with Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it doesn't affect the business. It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"The interface of Coverity is quite good, and it is also easy to use."

More Coverity pros

"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."

"It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management."

"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."

"The solution is stable."

"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."

More Tenable.io Web Application Scanning pros

Cons

"Reporting engine needs to be more robust."

"The tool needs to improve its reporting."

"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."

"The solution's user interface and quality gate could be improved."

"The quality of the code needs improvement."

"Coverity is not stable."

"The product lacks sufficient customization options."

"The solution could use more rules."

More Coverity cons

"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."

"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."

"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."

"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."

"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."

More Tenable.io Web Application Scanning cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate Coverity's pricing as a nine out of ten. It's already very expensive, and it's a problem for us to get more licenses due to the price. The pricing model has some good aspects - for example, a personal license gives access to all languages without code limitations, which is better than some competitors. However, it's still a lot of money for us to spend."

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

"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."

"Coverity’s price is on the higher side. It should be lower."

"Depending on the usage types, one has to opt for different types of licenses from Coverity, especially to be able to use areas like report viewing or report generation."

"It is expensive."

"The licensing fees are based on the number of lines of code."

"Coverity is very expensive."

More Coverity pricing and cost advice

"The application is extremely affordable. There are no additional costs involved with licensing. We switched to Tenable.io Web Application Scanning from other solutions due to pricing."

"I rate the product's pricing a four out of ten."

"For Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it comes to around 6,50,000 Indian rupees, plus taxes."

"The pricing is okay."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is expensive for small businesses."

"It follows the same licensing scheme as Tenable.io and Tenable. sc."

"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the competitors. The license cost is based on the number of users and the annual usage."
