The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically feed it rules what it's coupled with the WebInspect dynamic application scanning technology.
Fortify Application Defender identifies security defects, enhancing code quality by analyzing data in real-time with WebInspect technology. It improves security post-deployment and offers features like machine learning and vulnerability notifications to save cost and time. Integration is simple, with easy rule configuration. However, it lacks support for older compilers, mainly supports .NET and Java, and generates false positives, especially with Python. Licensing complexity and slow scanning time compared to alternatives are notable concerns.
