FE
Protects problematic libraries; sorely lacking in customer services
Kiuwan lacks decent support, it's very bad. A couple of years ago an American company bought Kiuwan and support became non-existent. It's a big part of why we're looking to move to another product. We have questions regarding false positives and nobody responds to our tickets. They don't have any answers. If you're looking for a cheaper solution and don't require support, it might be okay, but a large end company that has a lot of questions about how the developers are programming will have trouble.

Detects, analyzes, and fixes any coding issues
When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times. If they optimized some of the modules within the ReSharper extension, it would be smoother and faster. Sometimes when the machine is a bit overloaded, it causes it to crash and you need to disable the extension and then re-enabled it. It's not really a stability issue, it probably depends on the machine, but they should consider the fact that not all people have strong machines with high hardware specifications. As long as you have a good processor it will work smoothly, but regarding minimum requirements, it needs to be revisited.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the interface to be perfect."
"Can help in reducing the number of false positives."
"It comes with many features and supports almost all of the coding languages available."
"The most valuable feature of ReShaper is that it provides continuously scanning of the data in real-time. ReShaper has a really good mechanism and process, they have a decent system."
 

Cons

"The solution is great, but improvement is needed in the number of lines of code allowed, that is the capacity. Pricing can be improved as well."
"The solution has issues detecting intrusive methods."
"When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times."
"ReShaper could improve by increasing the performance of the scans. Their application is taking too much CPU. The processing is taking too many CPU resources which causes the system to slow down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved as well."
"As far as I know, the licensing isn't very cheap."

that may arise from using open source components.

Open source components are a significant and important part of commercial software today. Yet the use of these components introduces the risk of security vulnerabilities, as well as a need to ensure proper licensing and adherence to policies.

Automation is an essential strategy for detection of open source components and security vulnerabilities, compliance analysis, and policy enforcement.
