"Doesn't really do as it says"

1/5

What do you like best about OpenText Core Application Security?

Scans are thorough, easily distributed. Branding. Perceived integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Core Application Security?

Returns many false positives - for example identifies any variable with the name 'key' as a stored encryption key violation. Doesn't understand the context of code, or entry points for an exploit. Cumbersome in execution (will monopolize a machine's resources while running). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great tool as part of the «toolbox». We use the software for testing for us to meet the security standards. It benefits us in the sense that we feel confident that we meet the requirements of the security standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great component of the SDLC"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Core Application Security?

We use the HP Fortify on Demand SaaS, this allows us to free up resources from having to spend time maintaining the infrastructure.

The product allows for RBAC, which helps in allowing appropriate access at all levels.

We have implemented a process of Scan-at-Build, this allows us to ensure that continuous testing is performed.

Additionally, we have enabled SSO, so that developers are able to login to check results as well as add commentary information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Core Application Security?

One thing that I would like to see improved is the capability for the platform to be able to send alerts on detection of findings. This would allow for stakeholders to be made aware, and take action Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A good option for Static Analysis, helps close the application layer gaps as well as provides reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great experience!"

5/5

What do you like best about OpenText Core Application Security?

The response time for analysis report is pretty fast and very well detailed. The reports are very granular and the communication with the vendor is pretty much instantaneous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Core Application Security?

Sometimes the level of effort to fight a "red flag" in the code can be overwhelming. This requires engaging senior level people to agree on something. It feels like going through an audit and having to fight the major discrepancies. That is very time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Core Application Security:

I would defeinetly recommend this product to anyone looking to validate the security and the quality of the code of any custom application. I probably would recommend the SaS versus the on premises solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our code must meet certain security standards that must be validated by a third party such as HPE Fortify. That gives our customers the assurance that our code is secure and optimized to meet their requirements and security standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
