## Kiuwan Code Security &amp; Insights Reviews
  ### 1. Impeccable Security and Code Analysis, with Potential for Improvement in Customization

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Abelardo I. | Arquitecto Corporativo de Soluciones, Banking, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2026

**What do you like best about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

What we value most about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights is its ease of integration within the DevSecOps cycle, allowing for continuous and early SAST analysis of business applications. It particularly stands out for the clarity of the results, the prioritization of vulnerabilities, and the way the tool helps teams understand and remediate findings without friction. Additionally, the coverage of multiple languages, security and quality-oriented reports, and centralized visibility of code status allow us to make better decisions in terms of security and maintainability. Finally, the support from the Kiuwan team and their focus on a robust solution for our business environment is highly appreciated.

**What do you dislike about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

Kiuwan Code Security & Insights is a solid tool, however, it could improve in the in-depth customization of certain reports, especially for executive audiences or specific governance and compliance needs. Additionally, when integrating with SSO, it generates connection issues that require users to clear the browser cache or switch browsers to log in again. Native integrations with work management tools and platforms could also be expanded further, and it would be an improvement to implement DAST and not just SAST. Another point that could be improved is the ability to analyze not only source code but also compiled files, such as DLLs.

**What problems is Kiuwan Code Security & Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Kiuwan Code Security & Insights to assess the quality and security of the code from the start, identifying vulnerabilities and bad practices. It helps establish security standards and make informed decisions with its clear report, prioritization, and coverage of multiple languages.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Greg D. | Infrastructure Engineer IV, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2023

**What do you like best about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

The simplicity of adding it to our Azure DevOps Build Pipelines (classic and yaml), via their AzDO Pipeline extension. Nothing to manually install or configure on our build agents. Just add the task, and it handles everything. Works great for private or hosted agents.

The scope of what's scanned is also outstanding.

Finally, the level of customization is excellent. Works great with the default settings, but you can tweak it as much as you need to fit your environment.

**What do you dislike about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

I wish its Build Pipeline extension for Azure DevOps would show something like a result summary or link to the results. They DO have a Build Pipeline Task extension, which makes adding it to your pipelines easy, but to see the results, you have to navigate to their web dashboard manually.

**What problems is Kiuwan Code Security & Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

BTW, Kiuwan….had a nice win last week. Monday morning, Our CIO drops a high priority, need this now for a RFP, email looking for a pretty “code smell” document on some of our projects. Quickly kicking off new Kiuwan baseline runs and exporting Code Analysis Summary PDF’s… pow, Kiuwan was the hero!

  ### 14. Faster to integration with Jenkins

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rosnel A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2020

**What do you like best about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

Integrations with Jenkins and view reports. I like how you can handle and move around the environment handling the definition and indication of where the correction should be applied. Many people do not have this access and cannot handle this type of information. But for the company it was very important. I also really like the great color that the environment has. This helps a lot to be able to detect with priority which problem I should tackle first. I also quite liked the easy integration with Jenkis. For me this was quite important. The use of additional parameters and all parameters. I also liked how the projects can be separated to group the reports.

**What do you dislike about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

I did not like not having the option to view the report from the registry of the local Kiuwan analyzer. I think I should be able to see the reports from the local tool and be able to export them to xml files to be able to see these reports directly from jenkisn and not have to go to log in to the kiuwan portal and go to review the results there. This type of limitation is quite cumbersome. you have to make many improvements in this.

**Recommendations to others considering Kiuwan Code Security & Insights:**

Use it, the experience is second to none.

**What problems is Kiuwan Code Security & Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have been able to solve big security problems and bad practices in my code. I could also solve the errors and problems that our development team did not contemplate before. Many things are also solved when the reports are viewed.

> Thank you very much for your review! We have taken your feedback for improvement into consideration. 

  ### 15. Fast local static code analyzer without waiting times

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jose Luis M. | Responsable técnico, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2020

**What do you like best about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

What I like the most is being able to launch the analysis locally without having to wait for the analysis queues. It is also very easy to configure and create your own rules.

**What do you dislike about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

I have to investigate the integration with Git for sending emails to the person who has uploaded bad code. I think it is not yet possible or it is difficult to configure.

**Recommendations to others considering Kiuwan Code Security & Insights:**

I recommend Kiwan for its independence with a central code analytics server that can get cluttered if there are too many applications to analyze. In addition, its price is quite competitive.

Code snippet analysis can be performed without having to analyze the entire application. Very good if you only have to analyze one patch.

It greatly streamlines static code analysis and can increase team productivity.

**What problems is Kiuwan Code Security & Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The speed at which I obtain my analysis of static code on my premises without relying on an analysis server.

**Official Response from Giulia Di Pietro:**

> Thank you for your review and for using Kiuwan! We will take your feedback into account.

It's well integrated with other tools like development environments or continuos integration tools like jenkins. You could integrate easily Kiuwan in your SDLC.
The Kiuwan support team is very effective.

**What do you dislike about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

Like any SAST tool, Kiuwan creates some false positives.
Kiuwan don't have a notification system to inform the development teams and auditors.
Sometimes it's complicated to understand the description of the vulnerabilies detected by the tool.
It's necessary to improve the review of a defect.

  ### 18. Kiuwan makes our code more secure in an automated way

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christoph K. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2020

**What do you like best about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

We have integrated Kiuwan in our DevOps chain without issues, using TFS and other tools in this chain. We have already found a good bunch of security leaks, specially in older versions of our soon developments. We manage very different code languages and versions, the "dialects" covered by Kiuwan is very complete in this case. A very nice feature is the integration with code editors and IDE's.

**What do you dislike about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

Maybe the licensing politics per MLoC, an unlimited enterprise license would be better. MloC make you continuously review the licensing conditions and this in not very confortable in our case, where we are continuously developing new and taking out old lines of code. Another nice to have would be to integrate your code checking plugins with free but fully functional editors like Atom or others.

**Recommendations to others considering Kiuwan Code Security & Insights:**

Check if you can use Kiuwan in your continuous development process; Be aware of the languages you want to check and specially be sure to not necessarily include third party code libraries as for example javascript libraries or other open source libraries as these will increment your code amount very rapidly. Be sure that you include only the code versions that you are using, this for the same reason as the previous point. If you are using TFS or any kind of Git as code repository be sure to include only the life versions of your code development. A very nice to have is to include the code analysis right into your IDE, this avoid errors right from the beginning, further complete analysis will be faster and more controllable.

**What problems is Kiuwan Code Security & Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are continuously improving our code quality and closing security holes in all of our code, both new development and legacy code which in some cases is more than 20 years old.

**Official Response from Giulia Di Pietro:**

> Thank you for your review! We will take your feedback for improvement into consideration. We are committed to improving the usability of Kiuwan for all users.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2020

**What do you like best about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

Knowledge about what you REALLY have in your solutions. For us is like buying a car knowing every part detailed haw it's working in the engine, detailing the future problem we can have with everyone.
If your car outside is very nice but not inside your purchase was not good. And we buy code and sell applications to our businesses. It's one of our main tools to produce code with quality.

**What do you dislike about Kiuwan Code Security & Insights?**

Perhaps I'd like to have the possibility to change the ponderation of every concept and accesing directly to the tables to get the information we can need, instead of having to get this info vía API. Sometimes when you have the administration it's very fast to have access to the data base to solve something or have some answers. Building and API takes time.

**Recommendations to others considering Kiuwan Code Security & Insights:**

I recommend KCS&Insights as a way to have a better quality and security of your code. We are very happy and we're know implementing this tool in another areas in our company.

**What problems is Kiuwan Code Security & Insights solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are know starting analyzing apps with Insights but we're know realizing the components we are using and the obsolescence associated. We have thinking about a project to remove these kind of components. We cannot have critic applications pending on different components that we don't have the security they are going to have support, updates, etc.

**Official Response from Giulia Di Pietro:**

> Thank you for your detailed review! We will take your suggestions for improvement into consideration.
