Pros
"Our clients use CAST Highlight for cloud migration. This allows them to remove or remediate the blockers which are highlighted. This part of the solution shows improvement in quality and captures feedback for our clients.""Used for controlling the technical debt and code quality.""It supports most programming languages.""The most valuable feature of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is its security dashboard which is a dedicated dashboard that's pretty helpful because it gives compliance checks based on some of the leading frameworks in the industry, such as ISO 5055, OWASP, CWE Top 25, and NIST security guidelines. I find the security dashboard of the solution and the information it provides pretty useful. The security dashboard of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is a feature that stands out.""CAST's risk and security flow detection capabilities are highly effective, particularly in identifying security vulnerabilities. It is one of the most important and valuable features of the platform."

"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition.""PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional has an intercept tab that helps us to scan our APIs, set the response, and request errors.""The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the Burp Intruder tool.""I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis.""Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them.""I personally love its capability to automatically and accurately detect vulnerabilities. So, I would say it is the Burp scanner that is THE most powerful, valuable, and an awesome feature.""Once I capture the proxy, I'm able to transfer across. All the requested information is there. I can send across the request to what we call a repeater, where I get to ready the payload that I send to the application. Put in malicious content and then see if it's responding to it.""It is a time-saver application."

Cons
"Implementation could be made more simpler as it is complex.""Areas for improvement in CAST AIP include enhancing support for implementation in complex environments and improving technical support to address organizational challenges alongside engineering issues.""The integration of this solution could be improved.""It has very few plugins to access different code repositories, so source code has to be fed.""The overall coverage of rules could be improved in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform because it does not cater to or cover all. For example, 2022 CWE coverage is still not available in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. The solution also covers some NIST rules, but it does not cater to all rules. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next update of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is for it to provide source code developer and contributor details, especially information on which areas of code were touched. This would be a good insight as the CAST Application Intelligence Platform looks into the source code."

More CAST Application Intelligence Platform Cons →

"Sometimes the solution can run a little slow.""The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot.""The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad.""You can have many false positives in Burp Suite. It depends on the scale of the penetration testing.""We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product.""The Initial setup is a bit complex.""PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try.""As with most automated security tools, too many false positives."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do know how the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is licensed, but I'm not able to give the cost because the price is not listed. My company works with individual vendors, so pricing is on a case-to-case basis, but the vendors give specialized pricing because of the enterprise deployment, though my team is aware of product pricing based on lines of code, based on the number of applications, etc., I'm unable to give the exact licensing costs of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. My company doesn't have to pay extra for some features or services because all are included as part of the enterprise license. On a scale of one to five, with five being very cheap and one being very expensive, I would rate the CAST Application Intelligence Platform as three out of five."

  • "This is a value for money product."
  • "The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
  • "Our licensing cost is approximately $400 USD per year."
  • "The yearly cost is about $300."
  • "There is no setup cost and the cost of licensing is affordable."
  • "Licensing costs are about $450/year for one use. For larger organizations, they're able to test against multiple applications while simultaneously others might have multiple versions of applications which needs to be tested which is why we have the enterprise edition."
  • "There are different licenses available that include a free version."
  • "At $400 or $500 per license paid annually, it is a very cheap tool."
