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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I've found the reporting features the most helpful."
"The solution has a continuous integration process."
"Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices."
"The most valuable feature is the time to resolution, where it tells you how long it is going to take to get to a zero-base or a five-star security rating."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with Azure DevOps in the next release of this solution."
"Integration of the programming tools could be improved."
"The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting."
"The solution seems to give us a lot of false positives. This could be improved quite a bit."
"It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality."
"The development-to-delivery phase."
"Perhaps more languages supported."
"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
