Executive Vice President, Operations at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
The product and customer service is extremely efficient but I would like to see more research and code examples.
* The continuous online scanning capabilities and reporting features. * The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy. * The ability to review security items quickly along with being able to retest vulnerabilities on our schedule make the Sentinel product an invaluable tool for our company’s product security requirements.

Helps us identify security vulnerabilities in the development phase and provides a plugin for the developer IDE
The initial setup is good. When I use the product to scan the code in the DevOps pipeline, the issue coverage can be greater, which can help speed up risk identification in the CI/CD pipeline. That is one area where improvement can be made. Corresponding steps can be taken for that. It integrates with most of the tools, like ticketing tools, configuration tools, Jenkins, and the pipeline. That is fantastic.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy."
"Coverity is easy to set up and has a less lengthy process to find vulnerabilities."
"It provides reports about a lot of potential defects."
"The most valuable feature is that there were not a whole lot of false positives, at least on the codebases that I looked at."
"I encountered a bug with Coverity, and I opened a ticket. Support provided me with a workaround. So it's working at the moment, or at least it seems to be."
"Coverity integrates with issue-tracking systems like Jira and provides email notifications, alerts, and other features."
"Provides software security, and helps to find potential security bugs or defects."
"The solution has helped to increase staff productivity and improved our work significantly by approximately 20 percent."
"It's pretty stable. I rate the stability of Coverity nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more research and code examples for the vulnerabilities identified to better assist us with our remediation process."
"We use GitHub and Gitflow, and Coverity does not fit with Gitflow. I have to create a screen for our branches, and it's a pain for developers. It has been difficult to integrate Coverity with our system."
"The product could be enhanced by providing video troubleshooting guides, making issue resolution more accessible. Troubleshooting without visual guides can be time-consuming."
"My personal opinion is that the webpage of the last version of Coverity is not very easy to use."
"It should be easier to specify your own validation routines and sanitation routines."
"When I put my code into Coverity for scanning, the code information of the product is in the system. The solution could be improved by providing a SBOM, a software bill of material."
"Reporting engine needs to be more robust. Custom reporting is a must have."
"Coverity's implementation cycle is very slow when integrating changes, especially for problems related to event handling and memory leaks."
"There should be additional IDE support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Coverity’s price is on the higher side. It should be lower."

"I would rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten."
"The tool was fairly priced."
"It is expensive."
"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is low, and ten is high price."
"The pricing is on the expensive side, and we are paying for a couple of items."
