Featured Reviews

Vishal-Goyal - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Architect at Persistent Systems
Has a security dashboard that's helpful because it gives compliance checks based on some of the leading frameworks in the industry
The overall coverage of rules could be improved in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform because it does not cater to or cover all. For example, 2022 CWE coverage is still not available in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. The solution also covers some NIST rules, but it does not cater to all rules. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next update of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is for it to provide source code developer and contributor details, especially information on which areas of code were touched. This would be a good insight as the CAST Application Intelligence Platform looks into the source code.

Improved engineering delivery has provided clear metrics and streamlined pull request reviews
LinearB can be improved by making some of the metrics in the platform easier to understand and prioritize. While having a large amount of data is useful, it can be overwhelming when trying to identify the most important improvements for a particular software. Additionally, LinearB needs more flexibility in its reporting capabilities. I give it an eight because the complexity in certain metrics and the amount of data can be overwhelming, especially when trying to identify the most important improvements. The rigidness in certain types of reporting is why I would not give it a ten.

Pros

"We've seen ROI from CAST Application Intelligence Platform because we've been able to leverage it for doing multiple customer engagements and we've been able to win more business for our organization by leveraging the product."
"The most valuable feature of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is its security dashboard which is a dedicated dashboard that's pretty helpful because it gives compliance checks based on some of the leading frameworks in the industry, such as ISO 5055, OWASP, CWE Top 25, and NIST security guidelines. I find the security dashboard of the solution and the information it provides pretty useful. The security dashboard of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is a feature that stands out."
"It supports most programming languages."
"CAST's risk and security flow detection capabilities are highly effective, particularly in identifying security vulnerabilities. It is one of the most important and valuable features of the platform."
"Our clients use CAST Highlight for cloud migration. This allows them to remove or remediate the blockers which are highlighted. This part of the solution shows improvement in quality and captures feedback for our clients."
"Hourly, daily, and monthly static code analysis before making a project live, therefore controlling the technical debt and code quality."
"Used for controlling the technical debt and code quality."
"The dashboards and pull request analytics help my team day-to-day by identifying delays, reducing repetitive coordination work, and making the platform useful for both engineering managers and developers."
 

Cons

"Implementation could be made more simpler as it is complex."
"Areas for improvement in CAST AIP include enhancing support for implementation in complex environments and improving technical support to address organizational challenges alongside engineering issues."
"The integration of this solution could be improved."
"It has very few plugins to access different code repositories, so source code has to be fed."
"The overall coverage of rules could be improved in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform because it does not cater to or cover all. For example, 2022 CWE coverage is still not available in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. The solution also covers some NIST rules, but it does not cater to all rules.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do know how the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is licensed, but I'm not able to give the cost because the price is not listed. My company works with individual vendors, so pricing is on a case-to-case basis, but the vendors give specialized pricing because of the enterprise deployment, though my team is aware of product pricing based on lines of code, based on the number of applications, etc., I'm unable to give the exact licensing costs of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. My company doesn't have to pay extra for some features or services because all are included as part of the enterprise license. On a scale of one to five, with five being very cheap and one being very expensive, I would rate the CAST Application Intelligence Platform as three out of five."
