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

"Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices."
"I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison."
"Customer service is excellent."
"With Kiuwan, we were able to help our clients get a better visibility of their development activities and to mitigate risks."
"Saving time and money by automatically identifying problems is unbelievable."
"We have been using this solution for one and a half years."
"Software analytics for a lot of different languages including ABAP."
"This solution helps us to catch issues early on, and find problems that we never knew we had."
"CyberFlood is bundled and basic, but it's still powerful and easy to use, and I would recommend it, especially for beginners."
"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."
"If any customer doubts their existing network security policy this is a perfect product to analyze their network security and even existing processes."
"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."
"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
"CyberFlood is flexible."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with the Visual Studio and Eclipse IDEs."
"The rate of false positives, where it reports issues that are not really issues, can be improved."
"Perhaps more languages supported."
"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."
"Improvement could be made with the integration of the programming tools."
"The configuration hasn't been that good."
"The development-to-delivery phase."
"For mobile development, we are not too experienced, and it is not the perfect tool because the integration with certain products is very manual."
"The initial setup is not straightforward and can be quite challenging."
"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."
"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."
"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."
"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."
"The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Check with your account manager."
"The price of Kiuwan is lower than that of other tools on the market."
"Nothing special. It's a very fair model."
"Kiuwan is an open-source solution and free to use."
"This solution is cheaper than other tools."
"I recommend contacting a sales person who will create the best plan payment plan for you, as we did."
"It follows a subscription model. I think the price is somewhere in the middle."
