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."
"The scanning capabilities, particularly for our repositories, have been invaluable."
"Almost all the features are good. This solution has simplified designing and architecting for our solutions."
"Fortify on Demand is easy to use and the reporting is good."
"Fortify supports most languages. Other tools are limited to Java and other typical languages. IBM's solutions aren't flexible enough to support any language. Fortify also integrates with lots of tools because it has API support."
"Overall, it is a very good tool and it works well for what it is designed for."
"If you are looking for commercial tools, Micro Focus Fortify on Demand is one of the best tools."
"The solution saves us a lot of money, and we're trying to reduce exposure and costs related to remediation."
"The most valuable features are the server, scanning, and it has helped identify issues with the security analysis."

Cons

"There were some incompatibility issues after a Windows update where the NTO consumed all the available RAM."
"This solution would be improved if the code-quality perspective were added to it, on top of the security aspect."
"I find that while it does find a lot of legitimate threats, it tends to have a lot of false positives, and there are more false positives than I would like to see."
"The thing that could be improved is reducing the cost of usage and including some of the most pricey features, such as dynamic analysis and that sort of functionality, which makes the difference between different types of tools."
"It could have a little bit more streamlined installation procedure. Based on the things that I've done, it could also be a bit more automated. It is kind of taking a bunch of different scanners, and SSC is just kind of managing the results. The scanning doesn't really seem to be fully integrated into the SSC platform. More automation and any kind of integration in the SSC platform would definitely be good. There could be a way to initiate scans from SSC and more functionality on the server-side to initiate desk scans if it is not already available."
"It natively supports only a few languages. The response time from the support team can also be improved."
"The Visual Studio plugin seems to hang when a scan is run on big projects. I would expect some improvements there."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Fortify on Demand needs to improve its pricing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is fair compared to that of other solutions."
"It is cost-effective."
"The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
"Fortify on Demand is more expensive than Burpsuite. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"The solution is a little expensive."
"Despite being on the higher end in terms of cost, the biggest value lies in its abilities, including robust features, seamless integration, and high-quality findings."
"It is not more expensive than other solutions, but the pricing is competitive."
"We are still using the trial version at this point but I can already see from the trial version alone that it is a good product. For others, I would say that Fortify on Demand might look expensive at the beginning, but it is very powerful and so you shouldn't be put off by the price."
