Though a stable tool, the UI needs improvement

Kiuwan can improve its UI a little more. The user experience can be made better. Kiuwan offers a user interface that is similar to the one offered by Windows 7 or Windows 98, which I saw when I ran the tool and tried to scan the repository to find the security issues. The product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required.

Test assurance improves compliance and products with good performance

The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation. The most significant issue I encounter with the solution is the user interface. It would be beneficial if I could remain on one screen most of the time. Even if the system navigates me to another screen, it should effectively return me to the main screen.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison."

"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 like that it provides a detailed report that lets you know the risk index and the vulnerability."

"We are using this solution to increase the quality of our software and to test the vulnerabilities in our tools before the customers find them."

"The solution offers very good technical support."

"It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company."

"We use Kiuwan to locate the source of application vulnerabilities."

"I've found the reporting features the most helpful."

More Kiuwan pros

"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."

"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."

"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."

"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."

"CyberFlood is flexible."

"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."

Cons

"Perhaps more languages supported."

"I would like to see better integration with Azure DevOps in the next release of this solution."

"The configuration hasn't been that good."

"I would like to see additional languages supported."

"Kiuwan's support has room for improvement. You can only open a ticket is through email, and the support team is outside of our country. They should have a support number or chat."

"The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report."

"Integration of the programming tools could be improved."

"The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting."

More Kiuwan cons

"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."

"The initial setup is not straightforward and can be quite challenging."

"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."

"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."

"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."

"The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Kiuwan is an open-source solution and free to use."

"I recommend contacting a sales person who will create the best plan payment plan for you, as we did."

"The price of Kiuwan is lower than that of other tools on the market."

"It follows a subscription model. I think the price is somewhere in the middle."

"Check with your account manager."

"Nothing special. It's a very fair model."

"This solution is cheaper than other tools."

"CyberFlood is reasonably priced."
