Source code analyzer, FPR file generation, reduction of false positives and generates compliance reports, for in-depth analysis
Not challenges with the product itself. The product is very reliable. It does have a steep learning curve. But, again, one thing that Fortify or OpenText does very well is training. There are a lot of free resources and training in the community forums, free training as well as commercial training where users can train on how to use the back-end systems and the scanning engines and how to use command-line arguments because some of the procedures or some of the tools do require a bit of a learning curve. That's the only challenge I've really seen for customers because you have to learn how to use the tool effectively. But Fortify has, in fact, improved its user interface and the way users engage the dashboards and the interfaces. It is intuitive. It's easy to understand. But in some regards, the cybersecurity specialist or AppSec would need a bit of training to engage the user interface and to understand how it functions. But from the point of the reliability index and how powerful the tool is, there's no challenge there. But it's just from a learning perspective; users might need a bit more skill to use the tool. The user interface isn't that tedious. It's not that difficult to understand. When I initially learned how to use the interfaces, I was able to master it within a week and was able to use it quite effectively. So training is required. All skills are needed to learn how to use the tool. I would like to see more enhancements in the dashboards. Dashboards are available. They do need some configuration and settings. But I would like to see more business intelligence capabilities within the tool. It's not particularly a cybersecurity function, but, for instance, business impact analysis or other features where you can actually use business intelligence capabilities within your security tool. That would be remarkable because not only do you have a cybersecurity tool, but you also have a tool that can give you business impact analysis and some other measurements. A bit more intelligence in terms of that from a cybersecurity perspective would be remarkable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The installation was easy."
"Fortify on Demand can be scaled very easily."
"This product is top-notch solution and the technology is the best on the market."
"The most valuable features of Micro Focus Fortify on Demand have been SAT analysis and application security."
"The solution saves us a lot of money. We're trying to reduce exposure and costs related to remediation."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its security scan, the vulnerability finds, and the web interface to search and review the issues."
"The SAST feature is the most valuable."
"Fortify on Demand is easy to use and the reporting is good."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
 

Cons

"The technical support is actually a problem that needs to be addressed. Since the acquisition and merger with Hewlett Packard, it has been really hard to know who the technical or salesperson to talk to."
"The UI could be better. Fortify should also suggest new packages in the product that can be upgraded. Currently, it shows that, but it's not visible enough. In future versions, I would like more insights about the types of vulnerabilities and the pages associated with the exact CVE."
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand can improve by having more graphs. For example, to show the improvement of the level of security."
"Temenos's (T-24) info basic is a separate programming interface, and such proprietary platforms and programming interfaces were not easily supported by the out-of-the-box versions of Fortify."
"Takes up a lot of resources which can slow things down."
"Fortify on Demand needs to improve its pricing."
"We want a user-based control and role-based access for developers. We want to give limited access to developers so that it only pertains to the code that they write and scanning of the codes for any vulnerabilities as they're progressing with writing the code. As of now, the interface to give restricted access to the developers is not the best. It gives them more access than what is basically required, but we don't want over-provisioning and over-access."
"Reporting could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is quite expensive. Pricing and the licensing model could be improved."
"It's a yearly contract, but I don't remember the dollar amount."
"It is not more expensive than other solutions, but the pricing is competitive."
"The product's cost depends on the type of license."
"I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Fortify on Demand is more expensive than Burpsuite. I rate its pricing a nine out of ten."
"Buying a license would be feasible for regular use. For intermittent use, the cloud-based option can be used (Fortify on Demand)."
"We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
