Effective scanning of diverse file extensions with fast reporting and issue resolution
We develop software packages for clients, and these clients are mostly in the BFSI sector. The packages need to be scanned, and we engage Fortify WebInspect for this.  Customers typically perform their own application pen tests, but in some cases, we have engagements where customers want us to scan…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"The solution is stable."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is scalable and very easy to use."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"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 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 solution is able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities. It's better at it than other products."
 

Cons

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."
"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."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"The price is okay."
"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."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
