Dynamic testing regularly identifies web vulnerabilities and has strong false positive confirmations

It has good false positive confirmations, confirmed issues identification, and proof of exploit-related features as part of it. We use Invicti for these things in our portfolios. The solution includes Proof-Based Scanning technology. Invicti is part of our SSDLC portfolio, and DAST dynamic testing is very important for our web applications and portfolios. For both the API endpoints and web applications, we do regular testing on a monthly basis for all our releases. Invicti does a good job. The only concern is on the performance side, but other than that, we find it really helpful in identifying web vulnerabilities. A full scan takes more time based on your website and other factors, but for us, it takes more than two to three days. The scan performance can be improved upon. When we check with them, they discuss proof-based scanning and related aspects. However, there could be intermittent results that could help us.

Works better for testing traffic, mix profile, and enrollment scenarios than other solutions

Once, when I raised a ticket regarding a hardware or software issue, the solution's support team visited our company to discuss and find out ways to solve the problem. Sometimes, they asked us to send several photos from the back and front end to identify the issue. It was time-consuming as we were occupied with some other testing simultaneously. Instead, it would have been great if they could have visited our company and rectified the problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has very good integration with the CI/CD pipeline."

"Invicti has done a commendable job with respect to ROI, and with respect to being a cost-effective solution and one of the market leaders as an effective solution for SAST and DAST, Invicti has performed very well."

"Invicti is part of our SSDLC portfolio, and DAST dynamic testing is very important for our web applications and portfolios."

"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."

"Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems."

"I am impressed with Invictus’ proof-based scanning. The solution has reduced the incidence of false positive vulnerabilities. It has helped us reduce our time and focus on vulnerabilities."

"When we try to manually exploit the vulnerabilities, it often takes time to realize what's going on and what needs to be done."

"High level of accuracy and quick scanning."

More Invicti pros

"It is a scalable solution."

"The solution has many protocols and options, making it very flexible."

"There is a virtual version of the product which is scaled to 100s of virtual testing blades."

"We use Ixia BreakingPoint for Layer 7 traffic generation. That's what we like."

"The most valuable feature of Ixia BreakingPoint is the ransomware and malware database for simulated attacks."

"I like that we can test cloud applications."

"The DDoS testing module is useful and quick to use."

Cons

"The scannings are not sufficiently updated."

"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal."

"It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities."

"Netsparker doesn't provide the source code of the static application security testing."

"The license could be better. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license. It's a major hindrance that we are facing while scanning applications, and we have to be sure that the URLs are the same and not different so that we do not end up consuming another license for it. Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. The licensing is tied to the URL, and it's restricted. If you have a URL that you scanned once, like a website, you cannot retry that same license. If you are scanning the same website but in a different domain or different URL, you might end up paying for a second license. It would also be better if they provided proper support for multi-factor authentications. In the next release, I would like them to include good multi-factor authentication support."

"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective. There are URL restrictions that consume our license. Compared to other DAST solutions and task tools like WebInspect and Burp Enterprise, Invicti is very expensive. The solution’s scanning time is also very long compared to other DAST tools. It might be due to proof-based scanning."

"They need to improve their support in the documentation. Their support mechanism is missing. Their responsiveness, technical staff, and these types of things need to be improved, and comprehensive documentation is required. They should have good self-service portal enhancement"

"The custom attack preparation screen might be improved."

More Invicti cons

"The production traffic simulations are not realistic enough for some types of DDoS attacks."

"They should improve UI mode packages for the users."

"The integration could improve in Ixia BreakingPoint."

"The price could be better."

"I would appreciate some preconfigured network neighborhoods, which are predefined settings for testing networks."

"The quality of the traffic generation could be improved with Ixia BreakingPoint, i.e. to get closer to being accurate in what a real user will do."

"The solution originally was hard to configure; I'm not sure if they've updated this to make it simpler, but if not, it's something that could be streamlined."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."

"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."

"The solution is very expensive. It comes with a yearly subscription. We were paying 6000 dollars yearly for unlimited scans. We have three licenses; basic, business, and ultimate. We need ultimate because it has unlimited scan numbers."

"It is competitive in the security market."

"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."

"The price should be 20% lower"

"I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."

"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."

More Invicti pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"We have a one year subscription license for $25,000 US Dollars."

"The solution is expensive."

"The price is high. We pay for the license monthly."

"or us, the pricing is somewhere around $12,000 a year. I'm unsure as to what new licenses now cost."

"There is no differentiation in licenses for Breaking Point. For one license, you will get all the features. There is no complexity in that."
