Pros
"CAST Highlight is easy to use and has a good dashboard.""The most valuable features of the CAST Highlight are the interface and there are three notations that are very simple to understand and communicate with.""The most valuable features of CAST Highlight are automation and speed.""The way it tells you which codebase is more ready for the cloud and which codebase is less ready is very valuable.

More CAST Highlight Pros →

"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 like that I can scan the code without sending it to the Kiuwan cloud. I can do it locally on my device. When the local analyzer finishes, the results display on the dashboard in the cloud. It's essential for security purposes to be able to scan my code locally.""The solution has a continuous integration process.""We are using this solution to increase the quality of our software and to test the vulnerabilities in our tools before the customers find them.""It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company.""I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison.""I like that it provides a detailed report that lets you know the risk index and the vulnerability.""I've found the reporting features the most helpful."

Cons
"There's a bit of a learning curve at the outset.""CAST Highlight could improve to allow us to comment and do a deep analysis by ourselves.""Its price should be better. It is a pretty costly tool. They have two products: CAST Highlight and CAST AIP. I would expect CAST Highlight to have the Help dashboard and the Engineering dashboard. These dashboards are currently a part of CAST AIP, and if these are made available in CAST Highlight, customers won't have to use two different products all the time.""The reports that describe the issues of concern are rather abstract and the issues should be more clearly described to the user.""The ease of configuration and customization could be improved in CAST Highlight."

More CAST Highlight Cons →

"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on.""Integration of the programming tools could be improved.""I would like to see additional languages supported.""The configuration hasn't been that good.""The QA developer and security could be improved.""The solution seems to give us a lot of false positives. This could be improved quite a bit.""The product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required.""It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality."
