Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is its security dashboard which is a dedicated dashboard that's pretty helpful because it gives compliance checks based on some of the leading frameworks in the industry, such as ISO 5055, OWASP, CWE Top 25, and NIST security guidelines. I find the security dashboard of the solution and the information it provides pretty useful. The security dashboard of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is a feature that stands out.""CAST's risk and security flow detection capabilities are highly effective, particularly in identifying security vulnerabilities. It is one of the most important and valuable features of the platform.""Our clients use CAST Highlight for cloud migration. This allows them to remove or remediate the blockers which are highlighted. This part of the solution shows improvement in quality and captures feedback for our clients.""It supports most programming languages.""Used for controlling the technical debt and code quality."

"​We use Kiuwan to locate the source of application vulnerabilities.""I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison.""It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company.""Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices.""Software analytics for a lot of different languages including ABAP.""The most valuable feature is the time to resolution, where it tells you how long it is going to take to get to a zero-base or a five-star security rating.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is quick when processing and giving an output or generating a report.""I have found the security and QA in the source code to be most valuable."

Cons
"Implementation could be made more simpler as it is complex.""Areas for improvement in CAST AIP include enhancing support for implementation in complex environments and improving technical support to address organizational challenges alongside engineering issues.""The integration of this solution could be improved.""The overall coverage of rules could be improved in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform because it does not cater to or cover all. For example, 2022 CWE coverage is still not available in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. The solution also covers some NIST rules, but it does not cater to all rules. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next update of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is for it to provide source code developer and contributor details, especially information on which areas of code were touched. This would be a good insight as the CAST Application Intelligence Platform looks into the source code.""It has very few plugins to access different code repositories, so source code has to be fed."

"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on.""It could improve its scalability abilities.""I would like to see additional languages supported.""It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality.""The product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required.""The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting.""The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report.""The configuration hasn't been that good."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do know how the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is licensed, but I'm not able to give the cost because the price is not listed. My company works with individual vendors, so pricing is on a case-to-case basis, but the vendors give specialized pricing because of the enterprise deployment, though my team is aware of product pricing based on lines of code, based on the number of applications, etc., I'm unable to give the exact licensing costs of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. My company doesn't have to pay extra for some features or services because all are included as part of the enterprise license. On a scale of one to five, with five being very cheap and one being very expensive, I would rate the CAST Application Intelligence Platform as three out of five."
