### Good tool for static application security testing

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Londou Jacques B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes

Coverity is a powerful and widely respected SAST tool that can help teams to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their code more efficiently and effectively.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

One of the most notable strengths of Coverity is its accuracy in identifying security vulnerabilities in code. It uses advanced static analysis techniques to scan code for a wide range of vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, memory leaks, and null pointer dereferences.

#### Cons

A potential downside of Coverity is that it can generate a large number of false positives, particularly when scanning complex or legacy codebases. This can make it difficult for development teams to prioritize and address the most critical security vulnerabilities, and may lead to frustration or confusion among team members.

### Synopsys Coverity Feedback

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Sidd M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2022
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

We were able to rememdiate quite a handful of security issues in the application.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

We used Coverity as a SAST for our .NET, JAVA and JS. Coverity does have a higher detection rate hence we relied heavily on this tool for identifying the vulnerabilities. We had also integrated this Coverity to our CI/CD Pipeline, this helped us easily manage the deployment as well. It provides a mechanism to audit the findings and mark false positives in an effecient way.

#### Cons

Time it takes to scan huge code lines is significantly slower when compared to other tools. Coverity does have a very high number of false positives which at a points gets on the nerves of developers as well as security engineers. There were few vulnerabilities which were not identified by the tool.
