Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"A great feature is being able to have different repositories and different kinds of projects in a single solution at a single time. It's just a click away.""The most valuable feature is the fact that it's cloud-based, and we don't have to manage an on-premises server to use it.""We've found the technical support to be very helpful.""It is really simple to set up.""This product is very good for storing and versioning code.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it can support you for most of the road map and it can automate some tasks which works really well with collaboration with the teams. They are really interested in how they organize the history of the code itself which is good.""I did not have any issues with the stability of Github. It worked seamlessly.""GitHub is convenient and easy to use."

"Its ability to crawl a web application is quite different than another similar scanner.""The scanner and the result generator are valuable features for us.""One of the features I like about this program is the low number of false positives and the support it offers.""High level of accuracy and quick scanning.""The scanner is light on the network and does not impact the network when scans are running.""The dashboard is really cool, and the features are really good. It tells you about the software version you're using in your web application. It gives you the entire technology stack, and that really helps. Both web and desktop apps are good in terms of application scanning. It has a lot of security checks that are easily customizable as per your requirements. It also has good customer support.""Attacking feature: Actually, attacking is not a solo feature. It contains many attack engines, Hawk, and many properties. But Netsparker's attacking mechanism is very flexible. This increases the vulnerability detection rate. Also, Netsparker made the Hawk for real-time interactive command-line-based exploit testing. It's very valuable for a vulnerability scanner.""Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems."

Cons
"Lacks sufficient support in terms of professional services that could be provided.""The product must document the CI/CD process more.""There could be more integration into Azure.""Scalability is an area with a shortcoming, because of which it has room for improvement.""This solution could be improved if migration was fully automated to make it easy, for example, to migrate repositories into GitHub.""The solution needs some more controls for deleting code.""GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira.""I would want to see some form of code security scanning implemented."

More GitHub Cons →

"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal.""Reporting should be improved. The reporting options should be made better for end-users. Currently, it is possible, but it's not the best. Being able to choose what I want to see in my reports rather than being given prefixed information would make my life easier. I had to depend on the API for getting the content that I wanted. If they could fix the reporting feature to make it more comprehensive and user-friendly, it would help a lot of end-users. Everything else was good about this product.""Netsparker doesn't provide the source code of the static application security testing.""The custom attack preparation screen might be improved.""It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities.""The solution's false positive analysis and vulnerability analysis libraries could be improved.""The proxy review, the use report views, the current use tool and the subset requests need some improvement. It was hard to understand how to use them.""The scannings are not sufficiently updated."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The private repositories are free, which is very good."
  • "It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
  • "The price of this solution is reasonable."
  • "If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub."
  • "We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
  • "I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
  • "The licensing model for GitHub is user-based. Whenever the new developer joins we have to get a new license and register their ID. The overall price of the solution is reasonable."
  • "The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
  • More GitHub Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is competitive in the security market."
  • "OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."
  • "We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."
  • "I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."
  • "The price should be 20% lower"
  • "Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."
  • "We are using an NFR license and I do not know the exact price of the NFR license. I think 20 FQDN for three years would cost around 35,000 US Dollars."
  • "Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."

    Overview
    GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

    Invicti helps DevSecOps teams automate security tasks and save hundreds of hours each month by identifying web vulnerabilities that matter. Combining dynamic with interactive testing (DAST + IAST) and software composition analysis (SCA), Invicti scans every corner of an app to find what other tools miss with 99.98% accuracy, delivering on the promise of Zero Noise AppSec. Invicti helps discover all web assets — even ones that are lost, forgotten, or created by rogue departments. With an array of out-of-the-box integrations, DevSecOps teams can get ahead of their workloads to hit critical deadlines, improve processes, and communicate more effectively while reducing risk and hitting the ROI goals.
