"Fortify scans the code and smells out the vulnerabilities which can't be detected via human eyes"

4.5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Core Application Security?

It scans the code and provides a deep level of vulnerability analysis. It helps to detect security flaws. Though it's a static scan but does it's job well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Core Application Security?

It's a static scanner which limits it from analysing dynamic scenario. Sometime it gives false positive report as well which should be ignored by the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a negative point I would say that the documentation of the guides that are included as the notes guides are quite complex and difficult to understand. Anyway, the support team solves doubts quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Saas with the flexibility to growth "

4.5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Core Application Security?

The ability to scale and growth from a on site centralized location, to a more of SaaS cloud based. The ability to have a centralize location for all security monitoring and testing within one system and application. While also having the ability to develop any new processes.

The application is very flexible in regards to setting up shop. Meaning it gives an entity the flexibility to develop according to their respective budget, company direction in regards to Portal Web Based, in house hosting, or a matrix or both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Core Application Security?

If the application is set as a self-service tool, SaaS., it takes away some of the leverage of in-house fixes. Yes the cost is much more attractive to a smaller organization. However, for a larger entity. The upfront cost of setting the infrastructure for the application to be in house, would out weight some of the troubles of migrating later in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Core Application Security:

Truly test and each case scenario for implementation. Meaning just because on option is cheaper up-front, it does not necessarily will be the best solution for the next 3, 5, 10 years. Think of all the possible outcomes and what the company needs not just today but years down the road, to avoid possible migrations and added cost due to poor internal planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Core Application Security solving and how is that benefiting you?

continuous process improvement within the security layer of the enterprise. The ability to test and obtain real time information on issues, while gaining recommendations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
