Featured Reviews

YashBrahmani - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a clear visualization and overview of workflows and helpful in managing CI/CD processes
Improvement in the sense that they can do better in terms of management of logs and stuff like that because the console logs are very extensive, and that causes a lot of storage issues. That is one of the things which is there. Also, with respect to the traditional platform and the modern platform, many things have upgraded, and it has quite improved. But when we talk about the performance of the agents, it’s still very crucial because it’s not up to par. It takes a lot of time to provision the agent and to finish the build because of the SSH connection and the JNLP connection. Due to that, sometimes the agent doesn’t get provisioned. Those are some of the blockers that meet up the time in terms of administering the instance.
Navin N - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective scanning of diverse file extensions with fast reporting and issue resolution
We develop software packages for clients, and these clients are mostly in the BFSI sector. The packages need to be scanned, and we engage Fortify WebInspect for this.  Customers typically perform their own application pen tests, but in some cases, we have engagements where customers want us to scan…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customer support is good. You get good representatives from CloudBees to help you and understand your requirements."
"CloudBees assists by automating tasks, previously done manually, in the pipeline setup."
"The most beneficial aspect is that CloudBees integrates with everything, like version one, GitHub, and PDM."
"CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly."
"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"I find the automation feature most valuable. CloudBees is highly scalable and supports both small and large teams. The deployment process is also faster when compared to on-premise."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"The solution is able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities. It's better at it than other products."
"Technical support has been good."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"I'm sorry, but there is no review content provided to extract a quote from."
"The solution's technical support was very helpful."
 

Cons

"The platform could integrate better with other tools and support external tools directly."
"The user interface of CloudBees is good but could be even more intuitive. Improving the user-friendliness of the interface and having simpler setup configurations would greatly benefit new users."
"The setup is somewhat complicated. You need a cloud architect and engineer to set it up properly. The initial setup will take time, so you need a good engineer and architect to handle it."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."
"One challenge I'd like to highlight is that with CloudBees CI growing bigger and bigger, there are limitations in terms of managing old plugins and services and upgrading them with time."
"It could improve the document upload process."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"The main area for improvement in Fortify WebInspect is the price, as it is too high compared to the market rate."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"The scanner could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"The price is okay."
