"The solution has a continuous integration process.""​We use Kiuwan to locate the source of application vulnerabilities.""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.""I've found the reporting features the most helpful.""The solution offers very good technical support.""The feature that I have found the most valuable in Kiuwan is the speed of scanning. Compared to other SaaS tools I have used, Kiuwan is much quicker in performing scans. I have not yet used it on a large code base, but from what I have experienced, it is efficient and accurate. Additionally, I have used it both manually and in an automated pipeline, and both methods have been effective. The speed of scanning is what makes it valuable to me.""I like that it provides a detailed report that lets you know the risk index and the vulnerability.""I personally like the way it breaks down security vulnerabilities with LoC at first glance."

This could be improved quite a bit.""I would like to see better integration with Azure DevOps in the next release of this solution.""It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality.""The configuration hasn't been that good.""Perhaps more languages supported."
