Perforce Klocwork
Perforce Klocwork is a commercial static application security testing solution by Perforce Software. StaCoAn is a free mobile app security solution. Features, integrations, deployment and the company behind each one, side by side.
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Safety-critical embedded teams requiring MISRA and AUTOSAR compliance
The limitation is that Klocwork's language support is narrower than some competitors: C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Kotlin. If your stack includes Go, Ruby, Swift, or other languages, you will need a supplementary solution. The hybrid deployment model works for teams with on-premises requirements, but the setup and maintenance burden is higher than a SaaS alternative. This is a solution for teams with dedicated toolchain engineers, not a plug-and-play solution.
