Featured Reviews

Abimael Ferreira - PeerSpot reviewer
Security at Blaze Information Security
Centralized code analysis has improved my workflow and prioritizes critical vulnerabilities
Apiiro offers several features that I consider the best, such as the ability to have multiple developers and AppSec professionals working on the same project, and through the platform, we can see the number of vulnerabilities, generate reports, and integrate Snyk within our workflow. Before the code goes to production, Apiiro can read all that code and determine if everything is okay or if improvements are needed. The reports generated by Apiiro and its integration with Snyk contribute to my development process by giving us visibility into what is actually vulnerable, as automation like Apiiro makes it much easier to track vulnerabilities without spending too much time manually checking for issues, thus generating meaningful reports afterward. Apiiro manages permissions very effectively, which is interesting from an organizational standpoint because it allows us to separate which people can access a given project and designate project administrators who can approve or reject changes once a fix is made. I found the accuracy and reliability of Apiiro's results to be very good, as it can predict issues based on its existing data.

"We were very comfortable with the initial setup."
"If they have a cluster structure, then definitely they should use Coverity."
"The solution effectively identifies bugs in code."

Cons

"I would like support for our self-hosted Git server, other than GitHub, just regular Git."
"The UI sometimes helps but can also be a bit confusing."
"My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow."
"User management is a little bit clunky."
"The setup takes very long."
"It would be great if we could customize the rules to focus on critical issues."
"The product should include more customization options. The analytics is not as deep as compared to SonarQube."
"Its price can be improved. Price is always an issue with Synopsys."
"Sometimes it's a bit hard to figure out how to use the product’s UI."
"Coverity is far from perfection, and I'm not 100 percent sure it's helping me find what I need to find in my role. We need exactly what we are looking for, i.e. security errors and vulnerabilities. It doesn't seem to be reporting while we are changing our code."
"The product lacks sufficient customization options."
"This is a pretty expensive solution. The overall value of the solution could be improved if the price was reduced."
