Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the integration with Jenkins.""The most valuable feature of Coverity is that it shows examples of what is actually wrong with the code.""The most valuable feature of Coverity is its software security feature called the Checker. If you share some vulnerability or weakness then the software can find any potential security bug or defect. The code integration tool enables some secure coding standards and implements some Checkers for Live Duo. So we can enable secure coding and Azure in this tool. So in our software, we can make sure our software combines some industry supervised data.""I like Coverity's capability to scan codes once we push it. We don't need more time to review our colleagues' codes. Its UI is pretty straightforward.""Coverity is easy to set up and has a less lengthy process to find vulnerabilities.""It's very stable.""The product is easy to use.""Coverity is scalable."

Cons
"Coverity could improve the ease of use. Sometimes things become difficult and you need to follow the guides from the website but the guides could be better.""Sometimes, vulnerabilities remain unidentified even after setting up the rules.""It would be great if we could customize the rules to focus on critical issues.""Right now, the Coverity executable is around 1.2GB to download. If they can reduce it to approximately 600 or 700MB, that would be great. If they decrease the executable, it will be much easier to work in an environment like Docker.""The level of vulnerability that this solution covers could be improved compared to other open source tools.""Sometimes it's a bit hard to figure out how to use the product’s UI.""The product lacks sufficient customization options.""The tool needs to improve its reporting."
