There were some incompatibility issues, but it's a fairly stable product.
The ability to exploit injection capabilities It has enabled me to develop a more comprehensive SDLC. The vulnerability mapping needs some work. I've been using it for one year alongside Rapid7. There were some incompatibility issues after a Windows update where the NTO consumed all the…

Supports secure development pipelines and improves issue detection but limits internal visibility and needs broader dashboard integration
If you have an internal team and you want your internal team to validate false positives, basically to determine whether it's a valid issue or an invalid issue, then I wouldn't recommend it much. That was the only reason we migrated from Fortify on Demand to another solution. Fortify has another tool which is Fortify WebInspect. On Demand is the outsourcing solution, and WebInspect you can use with your in-house team, which is basically the product developed by the Fortify team. For automated scanning, Fortify helps a lot. Regarding the visibility for the internal team, everyone is moving toward the DevSecOps side, and Fortify team has made good progress that you can integrate into your CICD pipeline. One thing I would highlight is if Fortify can focus more on the centralized dashboard of the tools because nowadays, tools such as SentinelOne also exist for identifying security issues, but they have a centralized dashboard that merges their cloud solution and application security side solution together. If you have one tool that works for different solutions, it helps a lot. They are doing good, but they should invest more on the AI side as well because AI security is evolving these days. On the cloud side, they have already made good progress, but I believe they should explore the new area related to AI security as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has enabled me to develop a more comprehensive SDLC."
"Fortify on Demand has helped us more easily ensure the security of our client's application, which works with sensitive information such as payments and taxation."
"The UL is easy to use compared to that of other tools, and it is highly reliable. The findings provide a lower number of false positives."
"The user interface is good."
"The solution is very fast."
"Fortify is effective in identifying such oversights, making it a really helpful tool despite its problems."
"HP Fortify is perfect for any company that creates their own applications or uses vendor-developed ones; it’s great for QA and development phases."
"What is most useful is how you can have related features upgraded on the tools."
"The licensing was good."
 

Cons

"There were some incompatibility issues after a Windows update where the NTO consumed all the available RAM."
"Not fully integrated with CIT processes."
"The only thing that comes to mind regarding room for improvement are the security vulnerability updates."
"During development, when our developer makes changes to their code, they typically use GitHub or GitLab to track those changes. However, proper integration between Fortify on Demand and GitHub and GitLab is not there yet. Improved integration would be very valuable to us."
"The biggest deficiency is the integration with bug tracker systems."
"An improvement would be the ability to get vulnerabilities flowing automatically into another system."
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand can improve by having more graphs. For example, to show the improvement of the level of security."
"They have very good support, but there is always room for improvement."
"I would like to see improvement in CI integration and integration with GitLab or Jenkins. It needs to be more simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
"The pricing can be improved because it is complex when compared to the competition."
"If I exceed one million lines of code, there might be an extra cost or a change in the pricing bracket."
"Buying a license would be feasible for regular use. For intermittent use, the cloud-based option can be used (Fortify on Demand)."
"The product's cost depends on the type of license."
"Their subscriptions could use a little bit of a reworking, but I am very happy with what they're able to provide."
"It is quite expensive. Pricing and the licensing model could be improved."
"Fortify on Demand is affordable, and its licensing comes with a year of support."
