"The main benefits from advanced CI/CD capabilities in GitLab Premium include automation to pull and merge the codes together, and it's all done automatically."

"One can increase the number of vendors, so the solution is scalable."

"I really like Klocwork's server client build because it allows collaboration between the team members."

"The most valuable feature of Klocwork is its reduced setup time."

"Klocwork is user-friendly, with a client-server architecture that provides all needed compliance."

"First will be the on-the-fly analysis as it is reducing the time for developing code and report generation."

"We like using the static analysis and code refactoring, which are very valuable because of our requirements to meet safety critical levels and reliability."

"The most valuable feature is the Incremental analysis."

"Klocwork's most valuable feature is the static code analysis feature, as it detects potential problems earlier to allow the developer to receive feedback quickly and then address issues before they become a problem."

"In terms of improvement for GitLab Premium, not necessarily GitLab Premium specifically but GitLab as a whole could enhance features on the project management side."

"It is complex. It takes a good amount of time."

"The automation part could be improved. Nowadays AI is being actively used, and if we could integrate something like ChatGPT with GitLab Premium, it would be easier for us to check logs and debug faster."

"The biggest drawbacks of GitLab Premium are GUI and configuration. GUI is the primary concern, but other aspects are good."

"Customers using different static analysis tools report more issues than with Klocwork, indicating that Klocwork's engine is not as superior."

"Modern languages, such as Angular and .NET, should be included as a part of Klocwork."

"There are too many warnings, and it requires expertise to determine the correct category for them."

"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."

"Klocwork does have a problem with true positives. It only found 30% of true positives in the Juliet test case."

"Klocwork sometimes provides too many additional warnings which require expertise to manage."

"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."

"There are some false warnings found which eventually are not considered for a fix after the team reviewed the source code."

"Klocwork should not to be quite so heavy handed on the licensing for very specific programs."

"There are other solutions on the market such as Microsoft Visual Studio. They have been adding more static code analysis features that come for free. It is getting better all the time. That is one of the possibilities is that we've been considering that we may stop using the Klocwork because it doesn't give us any added value."

"Klocwork is still tight on their licensing. If Klocwork would loosen up on the licensing, and where the license could be used, and how many different programs could be run on it, then we have several development programs that I would love to be able to use it for going forward."

"The limitation that we have is that Klocwork is licensed to certain programs, and if you want to license them to other programs, you have to pay more money."

"Licensing fees are paid annually, but they also have a perpetual license."

"The pricing for Klocwork is very competitive if you compare it from apple to apple. It has competitive pricing regarding the licensing model and the per-license cost. Klocwork isn't a high-end investment for anyone deploying it; even SMBs can afford it. The Klocwork cost per user would depend on the license type, so I'm unable to mention a ballpark figure because it would depend on the type of installation and how the deployment will be, and the nodes to give an accurate calculation or figure. The total price depends on the package, so my company could never publish pricing for Klocwork on the website. My team first collects information from potential clients on the deployment scenario, project environment, etc., before suggesting a package for Klocwork. My rating for Klocwork in terms of pricing is a five because of its flexible license models. There's a license model for every type of organization, whether small, midsize, or enterprise, so it's a five out of five for me."

"When it comes to licensing, the solution has two packages, one for a fixed and the other for a floating server, with the former being more cost effective than the latter."

"This solution offers competitive pricing."
