We performed a comparison between GitHub and Klocwork based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."GitHub provides good time reduction and this is what I value the most."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"I'm able to access any repository that I like, whether it's public or private."
"Even if I'm not in the office, I can access and work on my code from anywhere with my account credentials."
"I did not have any issues with the stability of Github. It worked seamlessly."
"The most valuable features are GitHub are the standard features, they are very useful."
"We use GitHub as a repository."
"All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public."
"There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely."
"The most valuable feature is the Incremental analysis."
"There's a feature in Klocwork called 'on-the-fly analysis', which helps developers to find and fix the defects at the time of development itself."
"The ability to create custom checkers is a plus."
"Klocwork's most valuable feature is the static code analysis feature. It detects the potential problem earlier to allow the developer to receive feedback quickly and then address it before it becomes a problem."
"It's integrated into our CI, continuous integration."
"On-the-fly analysis and incremental analysis are the best parts of Klocwork. Currently, we are using both of these features very effectively."
"Technical support is quite good."
"I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product."
"It is difficult to merge a code or restore it to an older version."
"The product must document the CI/CD process more."
"GitHub could add some more security features."
"The only thing I see missing in GitHub is that it isn't very user friendly for key personnel who don't have in-depth, technical knowledge. In Jira, there are many functions to upload our test cases, and in GitHub we can only do it manually. There are functions which can be used to upload different files, but that still requires some technical knowledge. A layman cannot do it."
"If it had all of the end-to-end integration, then we probably wouldn't have any doubts about what we have installed. However, at this point, we're still trying to figure out how to use it end-to-end."
"From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile."
"The solution should have less integration with the AI part, but it needs to add features with other automation tools so that it can be easily integrated."
"I believe it should support more languages, such as Python and JavaScript."
"The way to define the rules is too complex. The definition/rules for static analysis could be automated according to various SILs, so as to avoid confusion."
"I would like to see better codes between projects and a more user-friendly desktop in the next release."
"Klocwork does have a problem with true positives. It only found 30% of true positives in the Juliet test case."
"What needs improvement in Klocwork, compared to other products in the market, is the dashboard or reporting mechanisms that need to be a bit more flexible. The Klocwork dashboard could be improved. Though it's good, it's not as good as some of the other products in the market, which is a problem. The reporting could be more detailed and easier to sort out because sorting in Klocwork could be a bit more time-consuming, mainly when sorting defects based on filters, compared to how it's done on other tools such as Coverity."
"Every update that we receive requires of us a lengthy and involved process."
"Klocwork has to improve its features to stay ahead of other free solutions."
"Now the only issue we have is that whenever we need to get the code we have to build it first. Then we can get the report."
