Fortify has been the first choice for doing secure (static) code analysis for many years because

1. Languages support - it supports both legacy and modern development languages.

2. Deployment Model - on-prem, cloud, Security as a service (FOD)

3. Technical support - Fortify not only helps the new onboarded customers with detailed documentation but also provides good trainings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a native issue of false positives with all the SCA tools. Which somehow decreases the value and increases the turn around time for finding the exact true positives Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Friendly and Efficient Integrations - IntelliJ, VS, Android Studio, etc. Organized Dashboard and their absolutely wonderful reporting platform. It really helped us achieve our compliance goals! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fortify should develop a DAST setup as well, this would really marginalize our input and time efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like fortify to scan source code in deply. It will compile the code and find the vulnerabilities. No others tools compile the code scan. Most important thing is result. It will find all critical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it will show more duplicate issue. Developer should work on this and resolved it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an on-prem solution and is compatible with most of the commonly used languages. It can get the scan results verified by an audit assistant that will further reduce the false positives. Very easy to install and can be deployed over windows or Linux machines. SSC module can be utilized for better reporting and tracking. Furthermore, it can be integrated with CI/CD pipelines for automated assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting can be me more intelligent, and false positives are little on the higher side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
