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

"We identified a lot of security vulnerability much earlier in the development and could fix this well before the product was rolled out to a huge number of clients."
"The most valuable features are the detailed reporting and the ability to set up deep scanning of the software, both of which are in the same place."
"The scanning capabilities, particularly for our repositories, have been invaluable."
"It has saved us a lot of time as we focus primarily on programming rather than tool operational work."
"It's a stable and scalable solution."
"Audit workbench: for on-the-fly defect auditing."
"Fortify is effective in identifying such oversights, making it a really helpful tool despite its problems."
"The solution scans our code and provides us with a dashboard of all the vulnerabilities and the criticality of the vulnerabilities. It is very useful that they provide right then and there all the information about the vulnerability, including possible fixes, as well as some additional documentation and links to the authoritative sources of why this is an issue and what's the correct way to deal with it."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"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."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are frequent complaints about false positives from Fortify. One day it may pass a scan with no issues, and the next day, without any code changes, it will report vulnerabilities such as password exposure."
"We have some stability issues, but they are minimal."
"The solution has some issues with latency. Sometimes it takes a while to respond. This issue should be addressed."
"There is room for improvement in the integration process."
"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."
"It does scanning for all virtual machines and other things, but it doesn't do the scanning for containers. It currently lacks the ability to do the scanning on containers. We're asking their product management team to expand this capability to containers."
"There were some regulated compliances, which were not there."
"Fortify on Demand could be improved with support in Russia."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product's cost depends on the type of license."
"The subscription model, on a per-scan basis, is a bit expensive. That's another reason we are not using it for all the apps."
"It is cost-effective."
"Fortify on Demand is affordable, and its licensing comes with a year of support."
"The pricing model it's based on how many applications you wish to scan."
"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."
"If I exceed one million lines of code, there might be an extra cost or a change in the pricing bracket."
"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 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 product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
