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.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto. The solution should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is valuable in improving our overall security posture by catching significant errors."
"OpenText Core Application Security helps maintain compliance standards with a faster remediation cycle, as we know the vulnerabilities, and everybody knows that the developers can perform fixes more quickly."
"Micro Focus WebInspect and Fortify code analysis tools are fully integrated with SSC portals and can instantly register to error tracking systems, like TFS and JIRA."
"Fortify on Demand's best feature is that there's no need to install and configure it locally since it's on the cloud."
"What is most useful is how you can have related features upgraded on the tools."
"Fortify on Demand is affordable, and its licensing comes with a year of support."
"It improves future security scans."
"It helps deploy and track changes easily as per time-to-time market upgrades."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
 

Cons

"An improvement would be the ability to get vulnerabilities flowing automatically into another system."
"The solution has some issues with latency. Sometimes it takes a while to respond. This issue should be addressed."
"Reporting could be improved. It would nice to export to an Excel sheet or another spreadsheet."
"There are frequent complaints about false positives from Fortify. One day it may pass a scan with no issues, and the next day, without any code changes, it will report vulnerabilities such as password exposure."
"There are lots of limitations with code technology. It cannot scan .net properly either."
"In terms of communication, they can integrate a few more third-party tools. It would be great if we can have more options for microservice communication. They can also improve the securability a bit more because security is one of the biggest aspects these days when you are using the cloud. Some more security features would be really helpful."
"There were some regulated compliances, which were not there."
"We have some stability issues, but they are minimal."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The pricing of this solution is quite high, about double what other similar solutions cost."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fair compared to that of other solutions."
"It's a yearly contract, but I don't remember the dollar amount."
"I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The solution is a little expensive."
"We used the one-time application, Security Scan Dynamic. I believe the original fee was $8,000."
"The licensing was good because the licenses have the heavy centralized server."
"It is quite expensive. Pricing and the licensing model could be improved."
"It is not more expensive than other solutions, but the pricing is competitive."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
