    I think CAST is a great tool to give insight into your applications. The tool can be met with resistance from team members as the tool is going to expose defects that should be addressed. Out of the box, it may need some tailoring to focus on certain areas so that you are not overwhelmed with defects the first time you scan your code. But ultimately, you will want to eliminate all defects in the code and have all violations turned on.

    Most suitable as a stepping stone from traditional on premise or private cloud offerings into native public cloud, or to supplement native public cloud workloads. Less suitable for hosting modern architected workloads as there is reduced ability to scale.

    Cons
    CAST
    • Code scans could be faster. A large application may need to be broken down into smaller sub-applications in order to facilitate faster code scans.
    • We spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to best structure our code base in the application for ultimate performance.

    Overall, relatively easy to use - although will certainly feel different to some other popular Hypervisors.

    Alternatives Considered
    CAST
    These other tools only do a part of what CAST does. CAST gives a comprehensive view into the code looking at all aspects, code quality, security, maintainability, vulnerability, privacy, reuse, etc. These other tools only focus on one or two dimensions.

    Return on Investment
    CAST
    • I believe once we had the tool working for our code base, we immediately saw positive ROI.
    • We spent some time getting to where our code code be scanned efficiently but some of that was trying to do things ourselves instead of fully utilizing Cast Professional Services. I highly recommend to do an engagement with CAST to have them help setup the tool in your environment or to run it in the cloud for you.
