Kiuwan Reviews

We analyze all the portfolio of applications from the customer. The customer is within the government of Spain. We analyze all their applications. On the portfolio of publications, we run analyses from all the applications.

From the tool itself, the developer can run an analysis with the same quality. With this tool, every developer has the opportunity to do an unlimited analysis.

The solution can scale well.

The solution offers very good technical support.

It's quite a stable product.

I'm still working on learning all the specifics of the tool; it's quite new to me.

The solution seems to give us a lot of false positives. This could be improved quite a bit.

The rules could be more clear. They need to have more clarity in that respect. It would help make the solution easier to use.

I've been using the solution for about a year now.

The stability at this time is very good. It doesn't have bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's very, very reliable.

You can definitely scale the solution. However, if you want to analyze more, of course, you have to pay more. This might be limiting if you are an organization that has a specific budget.

In our organization, we have 1,000 users approximately on the solution.

The technical support is very good. They are responsive and are very knowledgeable. We are satisfied with their level of service at this time.

In terms of setting up the solution, you only have to download a client to make the analysis. In the local environment, you also only need Java 1.8 and an internet connection to make an analysis. You have to worry about working in the configuration and administration of the users of the quality models. It's pretty easy.

I don't handle the payments or licensing aspects of the solution, therefore, I can't speak to the exact cost of the product. I only administer the tool.

That said, it's my understanding that, if you need to analyze more, you do need to pay more for the solution.

It was too difficult for us to evaluate different solutions. That said, I recall the other options being, for example, Veracode and SonarQube. There may have been more options that we considered evaluating as well, however, I don't recall the names of them.

We're just a customer.

We are using the latest version of the solution.

Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It's worked quite well for us so far.

Our company produces a financial application, and we use Kiuwan for vulnerability testing. Kiuwan scans our code to detect some security issues. 

Kiuwan has enabled us to give our customers peace of mind through early identification of code vulnerabilities and remediation before delivery to the customer.

I like that I can scan the code locally on my device. When the local analyzer finishes, the results display on the dashboard in the Cloud. Actually Kiuwan allows to scan code both locally and in the cloud, but It's essential for security purposes to be able to scan my code locally.

Kiuwan should charge based on usage

I've been using Kiuwan for two years.

Kiuwan is stable, but we have some issues when they perform system maintenance. We cannot access the platform for a couple of hours max. It's happened twice in one year, but it's not that bad because this tool isn't critical for our operation. 

It's easy to scale up Kiuwan.

Kiuwan's support has room for improvement. You can only open a ticket is through email, and the support team is outside of our country. They should have a support number or chat.

Neutral

Kiuwan was pretty easy to set up. We simply installed the local analyzer and configured the dashboard with some rules to apply to our code. It wasn't that hard. 

Kiuwan is not as expensive as the other solutions. We pay according to the number of lines of code that have been hired to scan, whether it scans or not. That's the downside.

I rate Kiuwan nine out of 10. I think it's an excellent platform, and I'd recommend Kiuwan.

I'm currently working at a FinTech company, and we normally use Kiuwan for code analysis. This helps us ensure that our product complies with proper codes.

I like that it provides a detailed report that lets you know the risk index and the vulnerability.

The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report.

I have been using Kiuwan since 2019.

I'm not sure if it's stable, but it's working fine.

I don't know if it's scalable, but we have about 30 to 60 users. It all depends on the scope of the project. If they have made the last point of implementation, then we can perform the code analysis.

It follows a subscription model. I think the price is somewhere in the middle. 

I would recommend this solution to new users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Kiuwan an eight.
