"Coverity"
What do you like best about Coverity?

It scrutinizes code with somewhat blind logic and address weak point of the code. It is good at identifying vulnerable points and helps toward future proof coding. Automatic backround run also make its integration into code flow seamless. Code analysis and suggestion is quite amazing and accurate so help the fix or improvement a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coverity?

By nature, it runs blind test to many degree so usage based limits are not well honored. It's like double edge of sword so it is its own strong point but at the same time somewhat stubburn point also. Review or coordinated work support is one of lacking capability. It just has tracking capability currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detailed and Complete "
What do you like best about Coverity?

Specific feedback broken down to the line of code where the opportunity for improvement has been found. Can easily track which issues have been addressed and what the resolution was, or that code is as expected or otherwise won't be updated and it will quit flagging that issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coverity?

Adds overhead to the build, slowing them down a bit. I also understand that it is fairly expensive although I don't manage the budget so I just try to make good use of the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for finding code defects"
What do you like best about Coverity?

Coverity was able to find code defects that other products were unable to find.

It was incorporated in our build easily and support was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coverity?

We hit a few defects when looking at our million+ lines of code project. Some were

not code defects but flagged as defects. Others we would like to pass certian

constructs without warning, but were unable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Coverity - Static Code Analysis Tool of Choice"
What do you like best about Coverity?

The 2017 version of Coverity scans the latest of version of C++ and Javascript (ES6) better than the other SAST tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Coverity?

Coverity's licensing is based on the number of developers who work on a component that is scanned, rather than the number of developers who actually use the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
