Reduces setup time and simplifies debugging with effective code vulnerability detection

Pros

"The best advantage of Klocwork is the reduced setup time. "

Cons

"There are too many warnings, and it requires expertise to determine the correct category for them. "

Easy to integrate and run on your code

Pros

"It's integrated into our CI, continuous integration. "

Cons

"The main problem is that since it only parses the code, the warnings or the problems that are given as a result of the report can sometimes require a lot of effort to analyze. "

Static analysis tools assist in secure coding while integration enhancements are suggested

Pros

"The customer support team is very responsive, proactive, and engages in conversations to ensure our needs are met."

Cons

"Even though it does the job, there's room for feature enhancements, such as integrations with Git for better tracking and notifications."

Their technical team helps us get the most out of the solution, but we've faced some stability problems in our environment

Pros

"The reporting helps us understand the trend of our results and whether we improve over time. We can see the history within Klocwork's server architecture and know that we're making things better. It creates a great story for our management. We can demonstrate value and how our software is developing over time. "

Cons

"Under NIST cybersecurity standards, we must address vulnerabilities within a specified time after discovering them. When we try to propagate those updates and fixes through the system, it would be nice if the clients could reconnect to the existing server or have the server dynamically updated in some way. I know that isn't easy, but maybe processes could be enhanced to make that more streamlined from a DevOps perspective. "

Lets you find defects during the development phase, so you don't have to wait till the development is over to find and address flaws

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Klocwork is finding defects while you're doing the coding. For example, if you have an IDE plug-in of Klocwork on Visual Studio or Eclipse, you can find the faults; similar to using spell check on Word, you can find out defects during the development phase, which means that you don't have to wait till the development is over to find the flaws and address the deficiencies. I also find language support in Klocwork good because it used to support only C, C++, C#, and Java, but now, it also supports Java scripts and Python."

Cons

"What needs improvement in Klocwork, compared to other products in the market, is the dashboard or reporting mechanisms that need to be a bit more flexible. The Klocwork dashboard could be improved. Though it's good, it's not as good as some of the other products in the market, which is a problem. The reporting could be more detailed and easier to sort out because sorting in Klocwork could be a bit more time-consuming, mainly when sorting defects based on filters, compared to how it's done on other tools such as Coverity."

Easy installation for regular code scanning of C, C++ and MISRA rules, but updates are lengthy and involved

Pros

"Technical support is quite good."

Cons

"Every update that we receive requires of us a lengthy and involved process."
