Lets you find defects during the development phase, so you don't have to wait till the development is over to find and address flaws

What needs improvement in Klocwork, compared to other products in the market, is the dashboard or reporting mechanisms that need to be a bit more flexible. The Klocwork dashboard could be improved. Though it's good, it's not as good as some of the other products in the market, which is a problem. The reporting could be more detailed and easier to sort out because sorting in Klocwork could be a bit more time-consuming, mainly when sorting defects based on filters, compared to how it's done on other tools such as Coverity. What I'd like added in the next release of Klocwork is the peer code review Cahoots which used to be a part of Klocwork, and the architecture analysis and both have been taken out of Klocwork. I found the two critical for specific deployments, so if those can be brought back to Klocwork, that would be very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like not having to dig through false positives. Chasing down a false positive can take anywhere from five minutes for a small easy one, then something that is complicated and goes through a whole bunch of different class cases, and it can take up to 45 minutes to an hour to find out if it is a false positive or not."

"The tool helps the team to think beforehand about corner cases or potential bugs that might arise in real-time."

"The most valuable feature of Klocwork is finding defects while you're doing the coding. For example, if you have an IDE plug-in of Klocwork on Visual Studio or Eclipse, you can find the faults; similar to using spell check on Word, you can find out defects during the development phase, which means that you don't have to wait till the development is over to find the flaws and address the deficiencies. I also find language support in Klocwork good because it used to support only C, C++, C#, and Java, but now, it also supports Java scripts and Python."

"It's integrated into our CI, continuous integration."

"We like using the static analysis and code refactoring, which are very valuable because of our requirements to meet safety critical levels and reliability."

"There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely."

"The most valuable feature is the Incremental analysis."

"Klocwork's most valuable feature is the static code analysis feature. It detects the potential problem earlier to allow the developer to receive feedback quickly and then address it before it becomes a problem."

More Klocwork pros

"The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."

"In my area of expertise, I feel like it has almost everything I could possibly require at this moment."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is one of the best user-friendly solutions for getting the proxy set up."

"The solution has a great user interface."

"The solution has a pretty simple setup."

"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."

"The most valuable features are Burp Intruder and Burp Scanner."

"The Spider is the most useful feature. It helps to analyze the entire web application, and it finds all the passes and offers an automated identification of security issues."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional pros

Cons

"I hope that in each new release they add new features relating to the addition of checkers, improving their analysis engines etc."

"Modern languages, such as Angular and .NET, should be included as a part of Klocwork. They have recently added Kotlin as a part of their project, but we would like to see more languages in Klocwork. That's the reason we are using Coverity as a backup for some of the other languages."

"I would like to see better codes between projects and a more user-friendly desktop in the next release."

"We bought Klocwork, but it was limited to one little program, but the program is now sort of failing. So, we have a license for usage on a program that is sort of failing, and we really can't use the license on anything else."

"The main problem is that since it only parses the code, the warnings or the problems that are given as a result of the report can sometimes require a lot of effort to analyze."

"This solution could be improved if they offered support of more languages including Ada and Golang. They currently only support seven languages."

"Every update that we receive requires of us a lengthy and involved process."

"Klocwork does have a problem with true positives. It only found 30% of true positives in the Juliet test case."

More Klocwork cons

"I am from Brazil. The currency exchange rate from a dollar to a Brazilian Real is quite steep. It is almost six to one. It would be good if it can be sold in the local currency, and its price is cheaper for us."

"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."

"I need the solution to be more user-friendly. The solution needs to be user-friendly."

"I would like to see the return of the spider mechanism instead of the crawling feature. Burp Suite's earlier version 1.7 had an excellent spider option, and it would be beneficial if Burp incorporated those features into the current version. The crawling techniques used in the current version are not as efficient as those used in earlier versions."

"The Iran market does not have after-sales support. PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional needs to provide after-sales support."

"The one feature that I would like to see in Burp is active scanning of REST based web services. A lot of organizations are providing APIs to access their services to support different business models like SaaS. Scanning these APIs is still a challenge for many security product companies."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When it comes to licensing, the solution has two packages, one for a fixed and the other for a floating server, with the former being more cost effective than the latter."

"The limitation that we have is that Klocwork is licensed to certain programs, and if you want to license them to other programs, you have to pay more money."

"Klocwork should not to be quite so heavy handed on the licensing for very specific programs."

"Klocwork is still tight on their licensing. If Klocwork would loosen up on the licensing, and where the license could be used, and how many different programs could be run on it, then we have several development programs that I would love to be able to use it for going forward."

"The pricing for Klocwork is very competitive if you compare it from apple to apple. It has competitive pricing regarding the licensing model and the per-license cost. Klocwork isn't a high-end investment for anyone deploying it; even SMBs can afford it. The Klocwork cost per user would depend on the license type, so I'm unable to mention a ballpark figure because it would depend on the type of installation and how the deployment will be, and the nodes to give an accurate calculation or figure. The total price depends on the package, so my company could never publish pricing for Klocwork on the website. My team first collects information from potential clients on the deployment scenario, project environment, etc., before suggesting a package for Klocwork. My rating for Klocwork in terms of pricing is a five because of its flexible license models. There's a license model for every type of organization, whether small, midsize, or enterprise, so it's a five out of five for me."

"This solution offers competitive pricing."

"Licensing fees are paid annually, but they also have a perpetual license."

"There are other solutions on the market such as Microsoft Visual Studio. They have been adding more static code analysis features that come for free. It is getting better all the time. That is one of the possibilities is that we've been considering that we may stop using the Klocwork because it doesn't give us any added value."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The pricing of the solution is reasonable. We only need to pay for the annual subscription. I rate the pricing five out of ten."

"It has a yearly license. I am satisfied with its price."

"The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective and is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is expensive compared to other tools."

"The price for the solution is expensive and could be cheaper. We pay an annual license and our team has several of them."

"We have one license. The price is very nominal."
