Klocwork vs Trustwave App Scanner [EOL] comparison

"Unlike other static code analysis tools, Klocwork integrates seamlessly into desktop IDEs, build systems, continuous integration tools, and any team's natural workflow."

"Using Klocwork, we have cleared all these issues without much difficulty."

"The most valuable feature of Klocwork is its reduced setup time."

"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 is the Incremental analysis."

"I really like Klocwork's server client build because it allows collaboration between the team members."

"It saves a lot of time when it comes to finding defects, it's basically inputted in every access we do."

"Technical support is quite good."

"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."

"This scanner was more efficient compared to its competitors."

"Go ahead and use Hailstorm as it's the best dynamic code analysis tool one can invest in and it gives a better ROI than most."

"Trustwave App Scanner makes it really easy and convenient for us to notify the website owners before the scans, as well as providing the scan results."

"The simple fact that it puts us in a better place for identifying our vulnerabilities is a form of ROI."

"Web application security testing is a valuable feature."

"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."

"The way to define the rules is too complex."

"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."

"Modern languages, such as Angular and .NET, should be included as a part of Klocwork."

"The main problem is that since it only parses the code, the warnings or the problems that are given as a result of the report can sometimes require a lot of effort to analyze."

"There are some false warnings found which eventually are not considered for a fix after the team reviewed the source code."

"Klocwork sometimes provides too many additional warnings which require expertise to manage."

"Support for AUTOSAR C++14 by adding a new taxonomy that you can use to ensure compliance with the AUTOSAR C++14 Standard, release 18-03."

"It doesn't support modern web technologies such as GWT, Angular, JS etc."

"It was complex as I have to make sure all the requirements are in place before on-boarding Hailstorm."

"One feature that I would really want is the number of total applications in the web GUI; after selecting a filter on the applications, it would be really helpful if it shows the number of applications."

"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."

"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."

"Used to crash/freeze due to poor performance, not sure about newer versions."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Klocwork should not to be quite so heavy handed on the licensing for very specific programs."

"Licensing fees are paid annually, but they also have a perpetual license."

"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."
