Resolving critical software issues demands faster implementation and better integration

Good core scanning, a helpful GDPR assessment template and very good technical support
The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic. The last time we did it, the customer was trying to make the SAP system match the GDPR process. We were able to use it for that benchmark. It was very important. The GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy. It was very useful because it also gave notifications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides reports about a lot of potential defects."
"The most valuable feature of Coverity is that it shows examples of what is actually wrong with the code."
"The ability to scan code gives us details of existing and potential vulnerabilities. What really matters for us is to ensure that we are able to catch vulnerabilities ahead of time."
"The solution effectively identifies bugs in code."
"Coverity provides developers with a good, best practice, coding advice, and tracks risks of poor coding quality."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Jenkins."
"The most valuable feature of Coverity is its software security feature called the Checker. If you share some vulnerability or weakness then the software can find any potential security bug or defect. The code integration tool enables some secure coding standards and implements some Checkers for Live Duo. So we can enable secure coding and Azure in this tool. So in our software, we can make sure our software combines some industry supervised data."
"Coverity provides excellent compliance and other features, which is a very good part."
"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module, and the GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy and was very useful because it also gave notifications."
"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic."
 

Cons

"The price is a concern, and there are a lot of false positives coming through."
"This is a pretty expensive solution. The overall value of the solution could be improved if the price was reduced."
"The quality of the code needs improvement."
"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."
"Coverity is not stable."
"The reporting tool integration process is sometimes slow."
"Ideally, it would have a user-based license that does not have a restriction in the number of lines of code."
"My personal opinion is that the webpage of the last version of Coverity is not very easy to use."
"The solution is generally good, but it's not seamless."
"The anomaly detection could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's pricing is comparable to other products."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"It is expensive."
"The pricing is very reasonable compared to other platforms. It is based on a three year license."
"Offers varying prices for different companies"
"The price is competitive with other solutions."
"The pricing is on the expensive side, and we are paying for a couple of items."
