Good core scanning, a helpful GDPR assessment template and very good technical support
The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic. The last time we did it, the customer was trying to make the SAP system match the GDPR process. We were able to use it for that benchmark. It was very important. The GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy. It was very useful because it also gave notifications.

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.

Pros

"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module, and the GDPR assessment template that is being used in the process application benchmark and analyzing landscape came in very handy and was very useful because it also gave notifications."
"The core scanning, the scanning process, has got a very nice pass management module. It's fantastic."
"Almost all the features are good. This solution has simplified designing and architecting for our solutions."
"I think the most valuable feature is its ability to address the source code scanning and dynamic scanning in a known, correlated way."
"The solution is user-friendly. One feature I find very effective is the tool's automatic scanning capability. It scans replicas of the code developers write and automatically detects any vulnerabilities. The integration with CI/CD tools is also useful for plugins."
"The quality of application security testing reduces risk and gives very few false positives."
"Fortify helps us to stay updated with the newest languages and versions coming out."
"The UL is easy to use compared to that of other tools, and it is highly reliable. The findings provide a lower number of false positives."
"Fortify on Demand is easy to use and the reporting is good."
"Fortify on Demand's best feature is that there's no need to install and configure it locally since it's on the cloud."
 

Cons

"The solution is generally good, but it's not seamless."
"The anomaly detection could be improved."
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand can improve by having more graphs. For example, to show the improvement of the level of security."
"The products must provide better integration with build tools."
"In terms of what could be improved, we need more strategic analysis reports, not just for one specific application, but for the whole enterprise. In the next release, we need more reports and more analytic views for all the applications. There is no enterprise view in Fortify. I would like enterprise views and reports."
"An improvement would be the ability to get vulnerabilities flowing automatically into another system."
"The reporting capabilities need improvement, as there are some features that we would like to have but are not available at the moment."
"It does scanning for all virtual machines and other things, but it doesn't do the scanning for containers. It currently lacks the ability to do the scanning on containers. We're asking their product management team to expand this capability to containers."
"The thing that could be improved is reducing the cost of usage and including some of the most pricey features, such as dynamic analysis and that sort of functionality, which makes the difference between different types of tools."
"We have some stability issues, but they are minimal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is a little expensive."
"We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
"The price is fair compared to that of other solutions."
"The pricing model it's based on how many applications you wish to scan."
"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."
"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."
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand licenses are managed by our IT team and the license model is user-based."
"I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
