Lead Cybersecurity at TBO
Supports secure development pipelines and improves issue detection but limits internal visibility and needs broader dashboard integration
If you have an internal team and you want your internal team to validate false positives, basically to determine whether it's a valid issue or an invalid issue, then I wouldn't recommend it much. That was the only reason we migrated from Fortify on Demand to another solution. Fortify has another tool which is Fortify WebInspect. On Demand is the outsourcing solution, and WebInspect you can use with your in-house team, which is basically the product developed by the Fortify team. For automated scanning, Fortify helps a lot. Regarding the visibility for the internal team, everyone is moving toward the DevSecOps side, and Fortify team has made good progress that you can integrate into your CICD pipeline. One thing I would highlight is if Fortify can focus more on the centralized dashboard of the tools because nowadays, tools such as SentinelOne also exist for identifying security issues, but they have a centralized dashboard that merges their cloud solution and application security side solution together. If you have one tool that works for different solutions, it helps a lot. They are doing good, but they should invest more on the AI side as well because AI security is evolving these days. On the cloud side, they have already made good progress, but I believe they should explore the new area related to AI security as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"Being able to reduce risk overall is a very valuable feature for us."
"This product is top-notch solution and the technology is the best on the market."
"The vulnerability detection and scanning are awesome features."
"While using Micro Focus Fortify on Demand we have been very happy with the results and findings."
"There is not only one specific feature that we find valuable. The idea is to integrate the solution in DevSecOps which we were able to do."
"Security defects are captured early in the lifecycle and fixed quicker."
"I use the solution in my company for security code scans."
"The implementation of Micro Focus Fortify on Demand was simple, since it is on the cloud everything is automatic."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"They could provide features for artificial intelligence similar to other vendors."
"They have very good support, but there is always room for improvement."
"There's a bit of a learning curve. Our development team is struggling with following the rules and following the new processes."
"There were some regulated compliances, which were not there, but these were the factors because of which we had to use some instances of other tools as well."
"The vulnerability analysis does not always provide guidelines for what the developer should do in order to correct the problem, which means that the code has to be manually inspected and understood."
"The products must provide better integration with build tools."
"Primarily for a complex, advanced website, they don't really understand some of the functionalities. So for instance, they could tell us that there is a vulnerability because somebody could possibly do something, but they don't really understand the code to realize that we actually negate that vulnerability through some other mechanism in the program. In addition, the technical support is just not there. We have open tickets. They don't respond. Even if they respond, we're not seeing eye to eye. As the company got sold and bought, the support got worse."
"New technologies and DevOps could be improved. Fortify on Demand can be slow (slower than other vendors) to support new technologies or new software versions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is expensive and the price could be reduced."
"It is not more expensive than other solutions, but the pricing is competitive."
"It is cost-effective."
"The subscription model, on a per-scan basis, is a bit expensive. That's another reason we are not using it for all the apps."
"Despite being on the higher end in terms of cost, the biggest value lies in its abilities, including robust features, seamless integration, and high-quality findings."
"We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
"It's a yearly contract, but I don't remember the dollar amount."
"I believe the rental license is not too expensive, but it provides a lot of information about the vulnerabilities."
