We performed a comparison between Fortify WebInspect and SonarCloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"It is scalable and very easy to use."
"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."
"The solution provides continuous code analysis which has improved the quality of our code. It can raise alarms on vulnerabilities with immediate reports on the dashboard. Few things are false positives and we can customize the rules."
"Recently, they introduced support for mono reports and microservices, which is a noteworthy development as it provides a more detailed view of each service."
"Its dashboard provides a unified view of various code quality metrics, including code duplication, unit test coverage, and security hotspots."
"The most valuable feature of SonarCloud is its overall performance."
"I'm not implementing the solutions. However, I've talked to the people who deploy the tools, and they are happy with how easy setting up SonarCloud is."
"SonarCloud is overall a good tool for identifying code smells, bugs, and code duplication, but we've found that using Android Lint is more effective for our needs."
"The most valuable features of SonarCloud are the ability to discover vulnerabilities, security weak points, security hotspots, and all the feedback that comes into the feature branch. You can deploy the code with the security, you can eliminate the problem at the developer level rather than identifying the problem in the productions."
"The reports from SonarCloud are very good."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"The solution needs to improve its customization and flexibility."
"SonarCloud can improve the false positives. Sometimes the gates sometimes act a little weird. We then need to manually go and mark the false positive."
"The reports could improve by providing more information. We are not able to use the reports in our operation until they are improved. Additionally, if the vendor provided more customization capabilities it would be a benefit."
"The documentation needs improvement on optimizing build time for seamless CI/CD integration with our Android apps."
"I've been told by the developers that the solution is too limited. It's not testing enough within the containers."
"We had some issues with the scanner."
"SonarCloud's UI needs enhancement."
"It would be helpful if notifications could go out to an extra person."
