A tool that provides ease of integration with the set of existing codes in an infrastructure

The deployment part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective. In my company, the actual implementation phase takes time, though the tool is able to give us reports. It is not easy for our company's teams to understand what changes are to be made to the product. If there are some guidelines on how to make the changes in GitHub Advanced Security and how to address the vulnerabilities, then it would be a better tool. In general, the implementation part of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.

Detects security vulnerabilities in source code, enforces coding guidelines, and manages open-source components

Integration with development frameworks like IntelliJ, NetBeans, and Visual Studio Code can be improved as a part of Kiuwan's capabilities. There are plugins available for these systems, facilitating smoother integration and usage within these popular development environments. In our scenario, with approximately fifty applications and ten users, conducting around five hundred analyses per day, we've noticed that updating Kiuwan rules is time-consuming. Analyzing new rules also takes a significant amount of time. It might be partly due to how we develop the rules; it seems that our approach to creating rules might contribute to this issue. This impacts the time it takes to conduct analyses using Kiuwan.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"GitHub provides advanced security, which is why the customers choose this tool; it allows them to rely solely on GitHub as one platform for everything they need."

"The most valuable is the developer experience and the extensibility of the overall ecosystem."

"Dependency scanning is a valuable feature."

"The product's most valuable features are security scan, dependency scan, and cost-effectiveness."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution as it can handle new applications along with the analysis part."

"It ensures user passwords or sensitive information are not accidentally exposed in code or reports."

"I like that I can scan the code without sending it to the Kiuwan cloud. I can do it locally on my device. When the local analyzer finishes, the results display on the dashboard in the cloud. It's essential for security purposes to be able to scan my code locally."

"The most valuable feature is the time to resolution, where it tells you how long it is going to take to get to a zero-base or a five-star security rating."

"The solution has a continuous integration process."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is quick when processing and giving an output or generating a report."

"We use Kiuwan to locate the source of application vulnerabilities."

"Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices."

"I've found the reporting features the most helpful."

"I have found the security and QA in the source code to be most valuable."

More Kiuwan pros

Cons

"The deployment part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."

"There could be a centralized dashboard to view reports of all the projects on one platform."

"The customizations are a little bit difficult."

"A more refined approach, categorizing and emphasizing specific vulnerabilities, would be beneficial."

"There could be DST features included in the product."

"The report limitations are the main issue."

"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on."

"The development-to-delivery phase."

"The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report."

"Perhaps more languages supported."

"I would like to see better integration with the Visual Studio and Eclipse IDEs."

"Kiuwan's support has room for improvement. You can only open a ticket is through email, and the support team is outside of our country. They should have a support number or chat."

"The solution seems to give us a lot of false positives. This could be improved quite a bit."

"The configuration hasn't been that good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The current licensing model, which relies on active commitments, poses challenges, particularly in predicting and managing growth."

"It follows a subscription model. I think the price is somewhere in the middle."

"Nothing special. It's a very fair model."

"This solution is cheaper than other tools."

"Kiuwan is an open-source solution and free to use."

"Check with your account manager."
