Good core scanning, a helpful GDPR assessment template and very good technical support
The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic. The last time we did it, the customer was trying to make the SAP system match the GDPR process. We were able to use it for that benchmark. It was very important. The GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy. It was very useful because it also gave notifications.

Supports secure development pipelines and improves issue detection but limits internal visibility and needs broader dashboard integration
If you have an internal team and you want your internal team to validate false positives, basically to determine whether it's a valid issue or an invalid issue, then I wouldn't recommend it much. That was the only reason we migrated from Fortify on Demand to another solution. Fortify has another tool which is Fortify WebInspect. On Demand is the outsourcing solution, and WebInspect you can use with your in-house team, which is basically the product developed by the Fortify team. For automated scanning, Fortify helps a lot. Regarding the visibility for the internal team, everyone is moving toward the DevSecOps side, and Fortify team has made good progress that you can integrate into your CICD pipeline. One thing I would highlight is if Fortify can focus more on the centralized dashboard of the tools because nowadays, tools such as SentinelOne also exist for identifying security issues, but they have a centralized dashboard that merges their cloud solution and application security side solution together. If you have one tool that works for different solutions, it helps a lot. They are doing good, but they should invest more on the AI side as well because AI security is evolving these days. On the cloud side, they have already made good progress, but I believe they should explore the new area related to AI security as well.

Pros

"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module, and the GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy and was very useful because it also gave notifications."
"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic."
"I think the most valuable feature is its ability to address the source code scanning and dynamic scanning in a known, correlated way."
"Excellent – from the PoC through setup and implementation; we received timely and knowledgeable support whenever we need it."
"I do not remember any issues with stability."
"The static code analyzers are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is valuable in improving our overall security posture by catching significant errors."
"Security defects are captured early in the lifecycle and fixed quicker."
"Fortify helps us to stay updated with the newest languages and versions coming out."
"The most valuable feature is the capacity to be able to check vulnerabilities during the development process. The development team can check whether the code they are using is vulnerable to some type of attack or there is some type of vulnerability so that they can mitigate it. It helps us in achieving a more secure approach towards internal applications. It is an intuitive solution. It gives all the information that a developer needs to remediate a vulnerability in the coding process. It also gives you some examples of how to remediate a vulnerability in different programming languages. This solution is pretty much what we were searching for."
 

Cons

"The solution is generally good, but it's not seamless."
"The anomaly detection could be improved."
"It would be highly beneficial if Fortify on Demand incorporated runtime analysis, similar to how Contrast Security utilizes agents for proactive application security."
"We would like a reduction in the time frame of scans. It takes us three to five days to run a scan now. We would like that reduced to under three days."
"There were some regulated compliances, which were not there, but these were the factors because of which we had to use some instances of other tools as well."
"This solution would be improved if the code-quality perspective were added to it, on top of the security aspect."
"I find that while it does find a lot of legitimate threats, it tends to have a lot of false positives, and there are more false positives than I would like to see."
"An improvement would be the ability to get vulnerabilities flowing automatically into another system."
"There is room for improvement in the integration process."
"Fortify on Demand could be improved with support in Russia."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
"Their subscriptions could use a little bit of a reworking, but I am very happy with what they're able to provide."
"Despite being on the higher end in terms of cost, the biggest value lies in its abilities, including robust features, seamless integration, and high-quality findings."
"It is cost-effective."
"I believe the rental license is not too expensive, but it provides a lot of information about the vulnerabilities."
"The subscription model, on a per-scan basis, is a bit expensive. That's another reason we are not using it for all the apps."
"Fortify on Demand is affordable, and its licensing comes with a year of support."
"The price is fair compared to that of other solutions."
