"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution...The initial setup or installation of HCL AppScan is easy.""The solution is easy to install. I would rate the product's setup between six to seven out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications that need to be scanned. We have a development and operations team to take care of the product's maintenance.""The most valuable feature of HCL AppScan is its integration with the SDLC, particularly during the coding phase.""This is a stable solution.""Compared to other tools only AppScan supports special language.""For me, as a manager, it was the ease of use. Inserting security into the development process is not normally an easy project to do. The ability for the developer to actually use it and get results and focuses, that's what counted.""The HCL AppScan turnaround time for Burp Suite or any new feature request is pretty good, and that is why we are sticking with the HCL.""It's generally a very user-friendly tool. Anyone can easily learn how to scan"

Cons
"The reporting needs to be improved.""I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

More CucumberStudio Cons →

"I would love to see more containers. Many of the tools are great, they require an amount of configuration, setup and infrastructure. If most the applications were in a container, I think everything would be a little bit faster, because all our clients are now using containers.""Many silly false positives are produced.""IBM Security AppScan needs to add performance optimization for quickly scanning the target web applications.""​IBM Security AppScan Source is rather hard to use​.""Improving usability could enhance the overall experience with AppScan. It would be beneficial to make the solution more user-friendly, ensuring that everyone can easily navigate and utilize its features.""They could add a software component analysis tool.""AppScan is too complicated and should be made more user-friendly.""Sometimes it doesn't work so well."
