Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."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."
"Software analytics for a lot of different languages including ABAP."
"I've found the reporting features the most helpful."
"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."
"I find it immensely helpful because it's not just about generating code; it's about ensuring efficiency in the execution."
"Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices."
"It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company."
"I personally like the way it breaks down security vulnerabilities with LoC at first glance."
"A significant advantage of Seeker is that it is an interactive scanner, and we have found it to be much more effective in reducing the amount of false positives than dynamic scanners such as AppScan, Micro Focus Fortify, etc. Furthermore, with Seeker, we are finding more and more valid (i.e. "true") positives over time compared with the dynamic scanners."
"Perhaps more languages supported."
"I would like to see better integration with Azure DevOps in the next release of this solution."
"The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting."
"The configuration hasn't been that good."
"I would like to see additional languages supported."
"The development-to-delivery phase."
"It could improve its scalability abilities."
"The QA developer and security could be improved."
"One area that Seeker can improve is to make it more customizable. All security scanning tools have a defined set of rules that are based on certain criteria which they will use to detect issues. However, the criteria that you set initially is not something that all applications are going to need."
