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 should include more customization options. The analytics is not as deep as compared to SonarQube.""The tool needs to improve its reporting.""Coverity is not stable.""We'd like it to be faster."
