Provides reliable applications security but needs better integration options
There are areas for improvements regarding false positives. Integration capabilities are lacking, as options for integrations with other tools such as SNOW, Jira, or other integration tools are not sufficient in Rapid7 InsightAppSec. The user interface sometimes has glitches, which may prevent appropriate results during navigation, and even when we get appropriate results, it can be impossible to export them to CSV records or download files. Regarding scalability, Rapid7 InsightAppSec is not a scalable solution for our industry due to limited integration capabilities. Rapid7 relies on another tool called InsightConnect, which requires additional investment, detracting from scalability. Another area that needs improvement is the integration of AI capabilities into the platform. Both Rapid7 InsightAppSec and InsightVM need to advance in that area. In terms of behavioral and pattern recognition, identifying complex attacks such as SQL, blind SQL, JSON, and LDAP injections often results in 94% false positives. This necessitates improvement in their behavioral-based analytics feature.

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

Pros

"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 CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"The solution is stable."
"I rate stability ten out of ten."
"It is a very robust solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"The initial setup for us was easy enough. We didn't face too many issues. Deployment took maybe 30 minutes. It's quite quick and doesn't cause too much trouble at the outset."
"The solution is stable."
"You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well."
"Relatively speaking, InsightAppSec is good compared to Insight VM."
"It's very easy to use and user-friendly, and it does the job."
 

Cons

"The reporting needs to be improved."
"More tutorials and examples."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
"The number of web applications we can scan is limited."
"The product’s pricing could be flexible."
"I required a solution to manage on-premises, but I was not as satisfied as expected."
"Currently, InsightAppSec lacks similar functionality. Customers must wait for remediation during the developers' preparation of a new version."
"The interface should be a little bit easier to manage. Sometimes, the logic that they use is kind of strange."
"The reporting feature of Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement as it currently provides basic reports."
"The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work. We found that we'd try to use widgets, but often getting them to work for us wasn't very clear. They need to be more user friendly or offer better instructions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
