Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."One can increase the number of vendors, so the solution is scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the Incremental analysis."
"On-the-fly analysis and incremental analysis are the best parts of Klocwork. Currently, we are using both of these features very effectively."
"The tool helps the team to think beforehand about corner cases or potential bugs that might arise in real-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."
"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."
"There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely."
"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."
"I hope that in each new release they add new features relating to the addition of checkers, improving their analysis engines etc."
"Every update that we receive requires of us a lengthy and involved process."
"The way to define the rules is too complex. The definition/rules for static analysis could be automated according to various SILs, so as to avoid confusion."
"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."
"Klocwork has to improve its features to stay ahead of other free solutions."
"This solution could be improved if they offered support of more languages including Ada and Golang. They currently only support seven languages."
"What needs improvement in Klocwork, compared to other products in the market, is the dashboard or reporting mechanisms that need to be a bit more flexible. The Klocwork dashboard could be improved. Though it's good, it's not as good as some of the other products in the market, which is a problem. The reporting could be more detailed and easier to sort out because sorting in Klocwork could be a bit more time-consuming, mainly when sorting defects based on filters, compared to how it's done on other tools such as Coverity."
"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."
"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
