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."
"It improves future security scans."
"It is a great solution and it is cost-effective for a secure development process, and if an enterprise wants to adopt the DevOps process, Micro Focus Fortify on Demand is a great starting point."
"When choosing a software security product, we expect the product not only has the ability to find exploits, but also has educational and instructional capabilities related to exploits."
"The implementation of Micro Focus Fortify on Demand was simple, since it is on the cloud everything is automatic."
"The static code analyzer provides views from a security perspective and it is easy to use compared to others."
"The most valuable features are the server, scanning, and it has helped identify issues with the security analysis."
"Its ability to perform different types of scans, keep everything in one place, and track the triage process in Fortify SSC stands out."
"Almost all the features are good. This solution has simplified designing and architecting for our solutions. We were early adopters of microservices. Their documentation is good. You don't need to put in much effort in setting it up and learning stuff from scratch and start using it. The learning curve is not too much."
 

Cons

"The anomaly detection could be improved."
"The solution is generally good, but it's not seamless."
"The UI could be better. Fortify should also suggest new packages in the product that can be upgraded. Currently, it shows that, but it's not visible enough. In future versions, I would like more insights about the types of vulnerabilities and the pages associated with the exact CVE."
"Sometimes when we run a full scan, we have a bunch of issues in the code. We should not have any issues."
"The technical support is actually a problem that needs to be addressed."
"We have some stability issues, but they are minimal."
"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."
"It natively supports only a few languages. The response time from the support team can also be improved."
"There were some regulated compliances, which were not there."
"The biggest deficiency is the integration with bug tracker systems. It might be better if the configuration screen presented for accessing the bug tracking systems could provide some flexibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's a yearly contract, but I don't remember the dollar amount."
"It is cost-effective."
"Fortify on Demand is moderately priced, but its pricing could be more flexible."
"It is not more expensive than other solutions, but the pricing is competitive."
"The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
"The pricing model it's based on how many applications you wish to scan."
"The pricing can be improved because it is complex when compared to the competition."
"I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
