Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool helps the team to think beforehand about corner cases or potential bugs that might arise in real-time.""There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely.""On-the-fly analysis and incremental analysis are the best parts of Klocwork. Currently, we are using both of these features very effectively.""There's a feature in Klocwork called 'on-the-fly analysis', which helps developers to find and fix the defects at the time of development itself.""The most valuable feature of Klocwork is finding defects while you're doing the coding. For example, if you have an IDE plug-in of Klocwork on Visual Studio or Eclipse, you can find the faults; similar to using spell check on Word, you can find out defects during the development phase, which means that you don't have to wait till the development is over to find the flaws and address the deficiencies. I also find language support in Klocwork good because it used to support only C, C++, C#, and Java, but now, it also supports Java scripts and Python.""The reporting helps us understand the trend of our results and whether we improve over time. We can see the history within Klocwork's server architecture and know that we're making things better. It creates a great story for our management. We can demonstrate value and how our software is developing over time.""I like not having to dig through false positives. Chasing down a false positive can take anywhere from five minutes for a small easy one, then something that is complicated and goes through a whole bunch of different class cases, and it can take up to 45 minutes to an hour to find out if it is a false positive or not.""One can increase the number of vendors, so the solution is scalable."

"We are mostly using it for scanning the entire website. So, we basically create a script with the entire website and then run it for different injections.""The extension that it provides with the community version for the skills mapping is excellent.""This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives.""The initial setup is simple.""BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding.""The Repeater and the BApp extensions are particularly useful. Certain extensions, such as the Active Scan extensions and the Autoracer extension, are very good.""Once I capture the proxy, I'm able to transfer across. All the requested information is there. I can send across the request to what we call a repeater, where I get to ready the payload that I send to the application. Put in malicious content and then see if it's responding to it."""The product is very good just the way it is; It has everything already well established and functions great. I can't see any way for this current version to be improved.""

Cons
"Now the only issue we have is that whenever we need to get the code we have to build it first. Then we can get the report.""We bought Klocwork, but it was limited to one little program, but the program is now sort of failing. So, we have a license for usage on a program that is sort of failing, and we really can't use the license on anything else.""Under NIST cybersecurity standards, we must address vulnerabilities within a specified time after discovering them. When we try to propagate those updates and fixes through the system, it would be nice if the clients could reconnect to the existing server or have the server dynamically updated in some way. I know that isn't easy, but maybe processes could be enhanced to make that more streamlined from a DevOps perspective.""We'd like to see integration with Agile DevOps and Agile methodologies.""Klocwork has to improve its features to stay ahead of other free solutions.""I hope that in each new release they add new features relating to the addition of checkers, improving their analysis engines etc.""This solution could be improved if they offered support of more languages including Ada and Golang. They currently only support seven languages.""I would like to see better codes between projects and a more user-friendly desktop in the next release."

More Klocwork Cons →

"The price could be better. The rest is fine.""There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment.""Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions.""I would like to see the return of the spider mechanism instead of the crawling feature. Burp Suite's earlier version 1.7 had an excellent spider option, and it would be beneficial if Burp incorporated those features into the current version. The crawling techniques used in the current version are not as efficient as those used in earlier versions.""A lot of our interns find it difficult to get used to PortSwigger Burp's environment.""I need the solution to be more user-friendly. The solution needs to be user-friendly.""I would like to see a more optimized solution, as it currently uses a lot of CPU power and memory.""It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Klocwork is still tight on their licensing. If Klocwork would loosen up on the licensing, and where the license could be used, and how many different programs could be run on it, then we have several development programs that I would love to be able to use it for going forward."
  • "Klocwork should not to be quite so heavy handed on the licensing for very specific programs."
  • "The limitation that we have is that Klocwork is licensed to certain programs, and if you want to license them to other programs, you have to pay more money."
  • "When it comes to licensing, the solution has two packages, one for a fixed and the other for a floating server, with the former being more cost effective than the latter."
  • "Licensing fees are paid annually, but they also have a perpetual license."
  • "There are other solutions on the market such as Microsoft Visual Studio. They have been adding more static code analysis features that come for free. It is getting better all the time. That is one of the possibilities is that we've been considering that we may stop using the Klocwork because it doesn't give us any added value."
  • "This solution offers competitive pricing."
  • "The pricing for Klocwork is very competitive if you compare it from apple to apple. It has competitive pricing regarding the licensing model and the per-license cost. Klocwork isn't a high-end investment for anyone deploying it; even SMBs can afford it. The Klocwork cost per user would depend on the license type, so I'm unable to mention a ballpark figure because it would depend on the type of installation and how the deployment will be, and the nodes to give an accurate calculation or figure. The total price depends on the package, so my company could never publish pricing for Klocwork on the website. My team first collects information from potential clients on the deployment scenario, project environment, etc., before suggesting a package for Klocwork. My rating for Klocwork in terms of pricing is a five because of its flexible license models. There's a license model for every type of organization, whether small, midsize, or enterprise, so it's a five out of five for me."
  • More Klocwork Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This is a value for money product."
  • "The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
  • "Our licensing cost is approximately $400 USD per year."
  • "The yearly cost is about $300."
  • "There is no setup cost and the cost of licensing is affordable."
  • "Licensing costs are about $450/year for one use. For larger organizations, they're able to test against multiple applications while simultaneously others might have multiple versions of applications which needs to be tested which is why we have the enterprise edition."
  • "There are different licenses available that include a free version."
  • "At $400 or $500 per license paid annually, it is a very cheap tool."
