There were some incompatibility issues, but it's a fairly stable product.

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

"It has enabled me to develop a more comprehensive SDLC."
"I think the most valuable feature is its ability to address the source code scanning and dynamic scanning in a known, correlated way."
"Fortify on Demand is affordable, and its licensing comes with a year of support."
"The most valuable features are the server, scanning, and it has helped identify issues with the security analysis."
"Each bank may have its own core banking applications with proprietary support for different programming languages. This makes Fortify particularly relevant and advantageous in those cases."
"The process was easy to follow and we were supported 24/7 by TAM personnel to help with any fire drills, which was helpful many times when I needed a quick answer late at night or early in the morning."
"The most valuable feature is that it connects with your development platforms, such as Microsoft Information Server and Jira."
"It improves future security scans."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Fortify on Demand is the information it can provide, as it can pinpoint right down to where the problem is, allowing you to know where to fix it, and overall the features are easy to use so anyone can use it, making it quite a well-rounded functional solution."
 

Cons

"There were some incompatibility issues after a Windows update where the NTO consumed all the available RAM."
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand can improve by having more graphs. For example, to show the improvement of the level of security."
"They could provide features for artificial intelligence similar to other vendors."
"There's a bit of a learning curve. Our development team is struggling with following the rules and following the new processes."
"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."
"The biggest deficiency is the integration with bug tracker systems."
"In terms of what could be improved, we need more strategic analysis reports, not just for one specific application, but for the whole enterprise."
"We have some stability issues, but they are minimal."
"I would advise others not to use Fortify, but rather get something like Veracode or Checkmarx."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 solution is a little expensive."
"The price is fair compared to that of other solutions."
"I believe the rental license is not too expensive, but it provides a lot of information about the vulnerabilities."
"The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
"We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
"It is quite expensive. Pricing and the licensing model could be improved."
"Buying a license would be feasible for regular use. For intermittent use, the cloud-based option can be used (Fortify on Demand)."
