Standardized releases have reduced errors and now streamline our cloud resource management
To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved. For example, I have a plan phase before my build phase, and sometimes the toggle button is hidden. I have to toggle it before the step can be executed, or it will be skipped. Many people who did not use Digital.ai Release before do not even know there is a toggle button, and the first time when they run into that phase, they will definitely skip that step. Regarding needed improvements, I did not do extensive reading on documentation or training material directly from Digital.ai Release. My knowledge comes from the team who has been using it. However, I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.

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 orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that."
"Digital.ai Release offers the best features such as good integration between multiple tools and flexible options for usage; while I have not configured the template myself, I use existing templates and find that anything can be accomplished using the workflows and integrations."
"The solution can apply one template across multiple applications."
"Since using Digital.ai Release, one of the benefits is standardizing the way I release to my Azure environment, which in the long term will help me reduce costs and improve efficiency."
"Overall, it's been a good experience."
"Digital.ai Release has made my work easier and simpler by automating many actions, so I do not have to verify too many points; the tool does it automatically."
"Since we started using the manual testing module from Digital.ai, I have seen a positive impact on my organization as our test management has improved significantly."
"Overall, I would give Digital.ai Release a rating of nine out of ten; there's always room for improvement, but it's really good."
"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."
"The transaction recorder within WebInspect is easy to use, which is valuable for our team."
"Guided Scan option allows us to easily scan and share reports."
"I'm sorry, but there is no review content provided to extract a quote from."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"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."
"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."
 

Cons

"One improvement for Digital.ai Release could be to simplify the user interface for beginners."
"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
"The backfill could be improved, we could automate that. Right now it's subjective — it's up to the lead developer's memory to remember to backfill."
"Digital.ai Release can be improved by reducing the number of tasks that need to be completed before starting a release, as there are too many tasks to get done."
"Digital.ai Release could be improved, particularly because the automated test capabilities are not that strong compared to some major tools like UIPath, Tosca, or SmartBear TestComplete."
"To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Currently, we put artifact details manually. What we could improve, in our case, is the deployment instruction base. Developers input all the information, including which artifact and where it needs to be deployed. What Digital.ai could do is automatically go to the deployment instruction page, take those artifact details, and implement them."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
"The solution's license includes all features."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"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."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"This solution is very expensive."
"The price is okay."
