Kiuwan and Coverity Static both compete in the static code analysis category. Kiuwan has the upper hand in pricing flexibility, while Coverity Static excels in comprehensive features and fewer false positives.
Features: Kiuwan integrates seamlessly with Jenkins and JIRA, offering detailed action plans for defect correction and swift scanning capabilities. Coverity Static provides deep interprocedural analysis, a low false positive rate, and extensive programming language support.
Room for Improvement: Kiuwan could improve its language support and address false positives and technical support responsiveness. Coverity Static users desire better UI customization, further reduction in false positives, and improved IDE integration.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Kiuwan offers versatile deployment across public, private, and hybrid clouds, though its technical support needs improvement. Coverity emphasizes on-premises deployment with hybrid options, and users commend its prompt and helpful technical support.
Pricing and ROI: Kiuwan is seen as cost-effective, especially beneficial for smaller projects with fewer lines of code. Coverity, although expensive, is justified by its depth of analysis and robust security features, though opinions on ROI vary.
