What do you dislike about the product?
API does not yet contain all information
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are leveraging CAST Highlight during Software and Tech Due Diligence projects, in the course of M&A-related transcations. Here CAST Highlight allows us to gain access to evidence about a target's codebase without directly accessing the code ourselves. This is a crucial differentiator for us and allows us to move fast, have a low footprint and gain confidence from all parties involved.

2. Derived insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind. I did not experience any issues nor do I dislike anything about Highlight at this time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary problem solved was understanding the level of effort to migrate a portfolio of applications to Cloud. In a period of a couple of weeks, we were able to analyze a portfolio of around 100 applications and identify: overall software health compared to industry benchmarks, vulnerabilities and risks as well as blockers and boosters. Based upon this understanding, we were able to prioritize the efforts by building associated business cases for each application. This ultimately led to evidence-based, informed decision making.

What do you dislike about the product?
Would like a broader Technology coverage, especially for legacy technologies such as C, Pro*C, Shell Scripts, ColdFusion, etc. for Cloud Readiness analysis. Would also like to get LOE Estimates on re-platforming legacy technologies to newer technologies based on lines of code , complexity, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Improving Cloud Migration velocity via quick, automated code analysis revealing vulnerabilties, resiliency issues, and cloud blockers to be resolved prior to migration to public cloud.
Augments manual code analysis efforts and provides a lot of useful metrics around technologies in use, complexity, lines of code, etc.

aiming to migrate to Cloud or understanding your applications environment ? Look for CAST Highlight
What do you like best about the product?
I have been through a few iterations of a cloud migration effort, and how I wish we had at our disposal a tool that could give us insights such as those offered by CAST Highlight. While the interface seemed a bit overwhelming at first, taking a closer look has proven to show all the added value that CAST Highlight provides. I did like the detailed insights, which allow for more informed decisions. On another note using the local CAST Highlight agent that scans the pplications code is being ran locally with no risk of leaking any of the code to outsiders (including CAST).
These are a couple of advantages of using CAST which came handy in my personal though the list is not exhaustive.

What do you dislike about the product?
The agent scanning your application code is currently not available for Mac OS though there are ways of addressing this issue. CAST Software documents this in its online documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the past i have seen development teams struggling, trying to get a grip on maintaining their applications portfolio with little or no documentation. The insight that CAST Highlight would have given these teams would have been invaluable.
Comprehensive and Easy-to-Use Software intelligence Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to understand summaries of the status and integrity of our software assets alongside comparatives to a massive database of other software products.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool ignores some 3rd party products, probably because they are not in the database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool identified several areas we could improve on within our software. As a result, we have implemented new standards in documentation and code reuse.

We have issued TThe scans on different OSes (Windows, Linux) without any problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool's learning curve is not so steep - the user needs to spend some time on different examples to grasp all the aspects of potential issues, additional material needs to be read to understand all the metrics provided by the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have analyzed two internal business applications to consider cloud-native architectures of these applications (refactoring).
