Graduate Software Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/28/2020 "Coverity - nice functionality, cluttered UI" 3/5 What do you like best about Black Duck Coverity Static? Finds many bugs and memo leaks, nice groups features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Black Duck Coverity Static? Cluttered UI, tough to navigate through it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Black Duck Coverity Static: I would recommend it, as apart from the slightly unintuitive UI, it is a nice tool. However, it is a bit old, so ensure you have looked on the market to check if there is anything better out there. My main advice will be to target the tools towards your needs regarding the languages you use, but it is always better to pick a flexible tool that covers many languages, so that in the future you can expand your language base, whilst staying on top of any security isssues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Black Duck Coverity Static solving and how is that benefiting you? Finding bugs and memo leaks in a variety of languages. Its API for Java is also an easy one to use and is well-documented. I really like that once these are assigned to you, you get reminders via email (it can be nicely integrated with Outlook), so that you don't forget. The detailed information on the issues and how they are represented graphically are also amongst its benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/4/2020 "A must to have tool for an open-source project" 5/5 What do you like best about Black Duck Coverity Static? I like that Coverity Scan is Free for open-source projects. In fact, I have not used the tool in production reasons, but rather for study/education/research purposes. In fact, we carried our a benchmarking of Static Analysis Security Testing tools for research purposes from the perspective of a tool to be able to produce alerts meaningful for software developers. And I can say that Coverity demonstrated itself as a very good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Black Duck Coverity Static? There is nothing particular about Coverity that I dislike. Maybe only that there is no free version for educational reasons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Black Duck Coverity Static solving and how is that benefiting you? Hello, I am Amit Shelke have used this tool for more than 4 years at Symantec Corp. I have also used other competitor product such as Crucible, Phabricator and CodeScene but the Coverity provides the best results when it comes to code review. On one of the site it is mentioned that "Coverity Static Code Analysis does not offer a free trial". Why should they do it. Its such a product you can buy fearlessly and assured that it works fantastically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
