You will get clean code every time, and that's a great achievement
For the QA team, it's a really good tool. For those who are not on the QA team, it is also a good tool to use for SDL in the SDLC. It plays a very critical role of doing the automatic quality check recommendation. Meaning, when using this tool, people can easily rectify the issues in the environment itself, instead of going to a higher environment and identifying them. This tool is quite easy to use and learn. We decided that there was no need to hire anyone new who would specialize in this. We had a team of about five to ten people who learned how to use this tool. There are some other automation tools like Jenkins, for example, that require a lot of effort to configure and write out the code, but you do not need to do such for this tool. I thought outside of the box and saw that there are many options available to us when using this tool. The plugins are there, you can download and use the tool at ease and you do not need to do any kind of development. Overall, it’s quite easy to use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"The customer service is fantastic."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"The firewall is the only solution that supports Nexus Repository."
"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."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
"There are several features lacking in the current offering, particularly concerning container support and AI packages."
"There are several features lacking in the current offering, particularly concerning container support and AI packages, like humming phase support."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"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."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable if you're a large enterprise developing code. It's not super-expensive."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"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 pricing of the solution could be better."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
