Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.

Enhancements in manual testing align with reporting and integration features
WebInspect works efficiently with Java-based or .NET based applications. However, it struggles with Salesforce applications, where it requires approximately 20-24 hours to crawl and audit but produces minimal findings, necessitating manual verification. The solution offers customization features for crawling and vulnerability detection. It includes various security frameworks and allows selection of specific vulnerability types to audit, such as OWASP Top 10 or JavaScript-based vulnerabilities. When working with APIs, we can select OWASP API Top 10. The tool also supports custom audit features by combining different security frameworks. For on-premises deployment, the setup is complex, particularly regarding SQL server configuration. Unlike Burp Suite or OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing, which have simpler setup processes, WebInspect requires SQL server setup to function.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly."
"The customer support is good. You get good representatives from CloudBees to help you and understand your requirements."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"It’s a very good tool for auditing your project pipelines as well."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."
"Easy to scan and then share scan reports, it has definitely streamlined many processes."
"The feature that has been most influential in identifying vulnerabilities is its ability to crawl the website, understand the structure, and analyze the network packets sent and received."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"It is a good product, comparable to AppScan, quite scalable, and offers good cost/value with the support and backing from Micro Focus."
"My experience with technical support has been good."
"The tool provides comprehensive vulnerability assessments which help ensure our deliverables are as free from vulnerabilities as possible. It has also streamlined our web application vulnerability assessments, assisting us in delivering secure applications to our clients."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
 

Cons

"If you're logged in and working for about thirty minutes and then go idle for five to ten minutes, Jenkins will prompt you to re-authenticate."
"There are connection issues with CloudBees, specifically between Sybase and CloudBees. W"
"Improvements in resolution time may vary since every environment has different needs."
"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."
"We did face some challenges, particularly with the infrastructure."
"I would like to see improved speed and availability."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"Sometimes, there are performance issues, however, they may be due to our organization's configuration."
"I want to enhance automation. Currently, Fortify WebInspect can scan and find vulnerabilities, but users with specific skills need to interpret the results and understand how to address them."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
"I would like WebInspect's scanning capability to be quicker."
"The solution is on the expensive side. It's something that clients comment on."
"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"The price is okay."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
