Cloud Readiness , Software Resilience and Business Impact Assessment of your on-Premise applications
What do you like best about the product?
The portfolio analysis showing the cloud-ready score versus cloud effort is quite insightful. Also, the business impact versus effort is helpful for CIOs/Tech executives thinking of adopting long versus short-term approach to cloud migration to gain maximum effect.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be survey questionnaires for assessing COTS applications whose source code is not available for scanning. Typical such workloads could be SAP HANA, Oracle ERP systems, MS Sharepoint, etc. In the current state, COTS applications assessment is not possible which is a miss in my view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping me to assess on-premise bespoke applications and identify the correct migration path to AWS cloud. The tool is able to figure out cloud blockers and various technical debt that is required to be resolved for it to move to cloud.

Tool to help solve voids on the Tetris game of Code Refactor
What do you like best about the product?
CAST Highlight is very straight forward to start use, easy to learn and implement. Is a potent tool to support Code Refactor and can be used once to start an App Modernization project or recurrently to help adjust the code maturity through the time.
What do you dislike about the product?
CAST Highlight is not that simple to configure on CI/CD Pipelines - a Docker image is needed when talking about applications that is already on cloud. And the documentation is a little bit difficult to follow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used CAST to support App Modernization initiatives helping prioritize the work that should be done and define the amount of effort to perform such activity. At the end, we reach a yearly improvement around 20% on the developers productivity.
Useful but not so immediate
What do you like best about the product?
Tool rich in dashboards and charts based on the different KPIs produced. Various possibilities for customizing the product require a study of the supporting documentation that very extensive but exhaustive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Conducting source code upload activities are not so straightforward, analyzing file extensions to recognize uploaded technologies requires significant setup effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Portfolio Analysis on more than 250 custom applications.

CAST Highlight: Excellent Value add to Enterprises for performing Application Portfolio Analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like the way the coding vulnerabilities are identified by the tool. The tool also helps assess data privacy compliance. These are critical steps when enterprise applications are planned for a rearchitect. Overall a lightweight tool to better understand the blockers and cloud readiness for the portfolio of applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The time taken for code scans of larger applications is slightly more.

Excellent code scanning tool in SaaS environment
What do you like best about the product?
SaaS implementation means ready for Cloud, code scanning for OSS vulnerabilities and IP checks, works seamlessly with most languages and provides deep insights like blockers, effort estimates, to developers on Cloud readiness for their apps. etc
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing makes this tool not readily available for all development teams since it is a costly tool, hence organizations have to self-manage the licenses to scan apps. Also, some key dashboarding features are available in CastAIP which means one needs to but both tools CastAIP and CASTHL to get a complete picture of their apps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us with scanning our code base for OSS vulnerabilities and IP checks, Bu the key feature that we use a lot is checking which apps are cloud-ready and which ones are not.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are looking for a code scanning tool to tell if your apps are ready for cloud or not then Cast Highlight will fit the bill since it gives a very good viewpoint on where your app stands from cloud readiness perspective.
