More Contrast Security Protect Pros →

"The feature that I have found the most valuable in Kiuwan is the speed of scanning. Compared to other SaaS tools I have used, Kiuwan is much quicker in performing scans. I have not yet used it on a large code base, but from what I have experienced, it is efficient and accurate. Additionally, I have used it both manually and in an automated pipeline, and both methods have been effective. The speed of scanning is what makes it valuable to me.""I like that it provides a detailed report that lets you know the risk index and the vulnerability.""I find it immensely helpful because it's not just about generating code; it's about ensuring efficiency in the execution.""​We use Kiuwan to locate the source of application vulnerabilities.""I've found the reporting features the most helpful.""I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison.""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."

Cons
"There's room for improvement in the initial setup.""Contrast Security Protect needs to improve integration.""Protect's reporting GUI is very basic. To get all statuses from the APIs, we needed to write our own KPI dashboard to provide reports."

More Contrast Security Protect Cons →

"Integration of the programming tools could be improved.""The QA developer and security could be improved.""Perhaps more languages supported.""It could improve its scalability abilities.""It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality.""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 product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required.""I would like to see additional languages supported."
