Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The UL is easy to use compared to that of other tools, and it is highly reliable. The findings provide a lower number of false positives.""Fortify helps us to stay updated with the newest languages and versions coming out.""I don’t know of any other On-Demand enterprise solution like this one where we can load the details and within a few days, receive the results of intrusion attacks, and work with HP Security Experts when needed for clarification""The feature that I find the most useful is being able to just see the vulnerabilities online while checking the code and then checking suggestions for fixing them.""Fortify on Demand's best feature is that there's no need to install and configure it locally since it's on the cloud.""The static code analyzers are the most valuable features of this solution.""Being able to reduce risk overall is a very valuable feature for us.""The scanning capabilities, particularly for our repositories, have been invaluable."

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed.""Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution.""We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

More Fortra Tripwire IP360 Pros →

"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios.""Every imaginable source in the entire world of information technology can be accessed and used.""Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports.""We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product.""We have seen a return on investment.""Technical support is helpful.""Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in.""The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest."

Cons
"The UI could be better. Fortify should also suggest new packages in the product that can be upgraded. Currently, it shows that, but it's not visible enough. In future versions, I would like more insights about the types of vulnerabilities and the pages associated with the exact CVE.""The Visual Studio plugin seems to hang when a scan is run on big projects. I would expect some improvements there.""Micro Focus Fortify on Demand could improve the user interface by making it more user-friendly.""Temenos's (T-24) info basic is a separate programming interface, and such proprietary platforms and programming interfaces were not easily supported by the out-of-the-box versions of Fortify.""It would be highly beneficial if Fortify on Demand incorporated runtime analysis, similar to how Contrast Security utilizes agents for proactive application security.""There were some regulated compliances, which were not there.""Micro Focus Fortify on Demand could improve the reports. They could benefit from being more user-friendly and intuitive.""This solution would be improved if the code-quality perspective were added to it, on top of the security aspect."

More Fortify on Demand Cons →

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running.""The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side.""I am not very impressed by the technical support."

More Fortra Tripwire IP360 Cons →

"Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings.""UI testing should be more in-depth.""Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times.""Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved.""The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually.""Reporting facilities can be better.""The summary reports could be improved.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Buying a license would be feasible for regular use. For intermittent use, the cloud-based option can be used (Fortify on Demand)."
  • "We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
  • "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."
  • "The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
  • "It's a yearly contract, but I don't remember the dollar amount."
  • "The pricing can be improved because it is complex when compared to the competition."
  • "It is quite expensive. Pricing and the licensing model could be improved."
  • "It is cost-effective."

  • "I think it would be a great step to decrease the price of the licenses."
  • "It is an expensive product, so think carefully about whether it fits your purposes and is the right tool for you."
  • "We are completed satisfied with Parasoft SOAtest. The ROI is more than 95%."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Fortify on Demand solution.

    Dionisio V., Senior System Analyst at Azurian, says, "One of the top features is the source code review for vulnerabilities. When we look at source code, it's hard to see where areas may be weak in terms of security, and Fortify on Demand's source code review helps with that." He goes on to add, “Another reason I like Fortify on Demand is because our code often includes open source libraries, and it's important to know when the library is outdated or if it has any known vulnerabilities in it. This information is important to us when we're developing our solutions and Fortify on Demand informs us when it detects any vulnerable open source libraries.”

    A Security Systems Analyst at a retailer mentions, “Being able to reduce risk overall is a very valuable feature for us.”

    Jayashree A., Executive Manager at PepsiCo, comments, “Once we have our project created with our application pipeline connected to the test scanning, it only takes two minutes. The report explaining what needs to be modified related to security and vulnerabilities in our code is very helpful. We are able to do static and dynamic code scanning. When we are exploring some of the endpoints this solution identifies many loopholes that hackers could utilize for an attack. This has been very helpful and surprising how many vulnerabilities there can be.”

    A Principal Solutions Architect at a security firm explains, “Its ability to perform different types of scans, keep everything in one place, and track the triage process in Fortify SSC stands out.”

    PeerSpot user Mamta J., Co-Founder at TechScalable, states, "Almost all the features are good. This solution has simplified designing and architecting for our solutions. We were early adopters of microservices. Their documentation is good. You don't need to put in much effort in setting it up and learning stuff from scratch and start using it. The learning curve is not too much."

    Tripwire IP360 is a powerful vulnerability management solution that identifies and prioritizes network vulnerabilities for remediation. It is highly effective in scanning devices and applications, improving security posture, ensuring compliance, and managing risks. 

    Users value its detailed reporting, user-friendly interface, and seamless integration with other security tools for efficient security management.

    Parasoft SOAtest delivers fully integrated API and web service testing capabilities that automate end-to-end functional API testing. Streamline automated testing with advanced codeless test creation for applications with multiple interfaces (REST & SOAP APIs, microservices, databases, and more).

    SOAtest reduces the risk of security breaches and performance outages by transforming functional testing artifacts into security and load equivalents. Such reuse, along with continuous monitoring of APIs for change, allows faster and more efficient testing.
