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."

"The solution offers very good technical support."

"I have found the security and QA in the source code to be most valuable."

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

"Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices."

"Software analytics for a lot of different languages including ABAP."

"The feature that I have found the most valuable in Kiuwan is the speed of scanning. Compared to other SaaS tools I have used, Kiuwan is much quicker in performing scans. I have not yet used it on a large code base, but from what I have experienced, it is efficient and accurate. Additionally, I have used it both manually and in an automated pipeline, and both methods have been effective. The speed of scanning is what makes it valuable to me."

"The solution has a continuous integration process."

More Kiuwan pros

"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."

"CyberFlood is flexible."

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

"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."

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

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

Cons

"The configuration hasn't been that good."

"In Kiuwan there are sometimes duplicates found in the dependency scan under the "insights" tab. It's unclear to me why these duplicates are appearing, and it would be helpful if the application teams could investigate further."

"Integration of the programming tools could be improved."

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

"I would like to see additional languages supported."

"The solution seems to give us a lot of false positives. This could be improved quite a bit."

"The development-to-delivery phase."

"Perhaps more languages supported."

More Kiuwan cons

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

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

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check with your account manager."

"This solution is cheaper than other tools."

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

"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."

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

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

"CyberFlood is reasonably priced."
