I have not used the product for my projects in the company recently, but I know that some other teams use it for certain work.
Coverity is used as a static code analysis tool in my company.
Compared to the other tools in the market, Coverity is not a user-friendly product. Coverity fails to provide the same comfort as other solutions in the market, which provides better visibility of reports.
I have experience with Coverity. I am a customer of the tool.
I have not directly contacted the product's support team, but there is a group within the corporate circles that maintains the tool, and so they communicate with the tool's technical team. I believe that the support offered was satisfactory.
I don't use any other products which are similar to Coverity.
I was involved in the tool's deployment phase.
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. Reviewers may have to opt for a different license. For report generation, I used the product two to three ago for a project, and it was done mainly for benchmarking. The setting of the jobs or the configurations was pretty difficult compared to the other products in the market. Working with the product is a bit difficult in general.
I don't have accurate information about the prices associated with the product.
I am not the person in authority who makes decisions over whether the company should look at other options apart from Coverity. The higher management makes such decisions while I am just a part of the product development team.
In terms of the satisfaction derived from the use of the product in our company, I would say that there was another person in my company who benchmarked against Coverity with other products like SonarQube and some other LDRA solutions. Products are used considering that different projects would have different requirements.
I can't say whether the product has helped my company maintain compliance with coding standards since we are not currently using Coverity. Many projects have strict guidelines when it comes to the static code analysis part. In the future, the tool's ability to maintain compliance with coding standards can be useful.
My company has licenses to use the product.
I don't have vast experience with Coverity to be able to say whether I would recommend the product to others or not.
I did not use the tool's AI capabilities.
Considering the analysis part and the benchmarking process involving the product that my company carried out, the solution is good for finding bugs and violations. I rate the tool at eight to nine out of ten.
