It is suitable for use by development and security teams aiming to enhance the overall security posture of applications.

OpenText Static Application Security Testing (Fortify) Pricing

“Fortify Trusted for SAST Yet Faces Challenges with Scan Times and Dashboards”

3.0
Feb 6, 2026
I have been a Fortify customer for 7 years now and have administered and deployed FoD as well as their on premise engine (Software Security Center and Static Code Analysis). The scan results are trustworthy, but I have found that Fortify produces high false positives. The system overall is trustworthy, but for modern applications that must deliver scanning at devsecops speeds it is behind. I would only suggest fortify for large enterprises that can wait on scan results and have the budget for many vendors tools.

OpenText Static Application Security Testing (Fortify) Likes & Dislikes

Like

Accuracy and performance for large scale applications is very good.

Like

It is a well known product. Auditors have never shown concern with using Fortify for SAST.

Like

Excellent source code security scanning tools

Dislike

Expensive and set up can be complex.However, support teams are very helpful and solve problems very fast.

Dislike

1. Poor scan times. Scans on large apps over 2 million lines of code run for 24 hours 2. Poor dashboards. I have been unable to use the dashboards to report KPI data to executives. I was required to create PowerBI or Excel reports on exported data to satisfy this need 3. High noise: Fine tuning Fortify is complex. It is possible, but you must either develop scan rules or use their on premist Fortify Security Assistant that doesn't function properly

Dislike

better server support

    Fortify Explores AI and Machine Learning for Enhanced Security Solutions

    5.0
    Jul 30, 2024
    We have been using fortify for more than 5 years now. It's a comprehensive solution with the largest rules based on my research. While accuracy is debatable and I believe it's the same for all the static solutions I guess. It can be resource intensive for some programming languages so you need to consider good resourcing for your scanning machines when it comes to use fortify to its great potential. Fortify has announced that they are embarking on a journey in AI and machine learning to enhance and reduce noise and build auto remediation features in Fortify, which I believe will be very useful to our company and the team.
