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 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 power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The solution is stable."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"It is scalable and very easy to use."
"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."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"Easy to scan and then share scan reports, it has definitely streamlined many processes."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
 

Cons

"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"More tutorials and examples."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"The scanner could be better."
"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."
"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."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"This solution is very expensive."
"The main area for improvement in Fortify WebInspect is the price, as it is too high compared to the market rate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"The price is okay."
"This solution is very expensive."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
