A safe solution used to detective vulnerabilities for dynamic and complex testing

The Invicti is the scope application tool. The solution is installed on-premise but could be installed as a web version. Starting from the latest version, the web version could be used. They have a web application server. The deployment of the solution involves installing the EXE and configuring your machine.

Though a stable tool, the UI needs improvement

Kiuwan can improve its UI a little more. The user experience can be made better. Kiuwan offers a user interface that is similar to the one offered by Windows 7 or Windows 98, which I saw when I ran the tool and tried to scan the repository to find the security issues. The product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Netsparker has valuable features, including the ability to scan our website, an interactive approach, and security data integration."

"The solution generates reports automatically and quickly."

"Crawling feature: Netsparker has very detail crawling steps and mechanisms. This feature expands the attack surface."

"High level of accuracy and quick scanning."

"The best features of Invicti are its ability to confirm access vulnerabilities, SSL injection vulnerabilities, and its connectors to other security tools."

"Its ability to crawl a web application is quite different than another similar scanner."

"It correctly parses DOM and JS and has really good support for URL Rewrite rules, which is important for today's websites."

"I like that it's stable and technical support is great."

More Invicti pros

"I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison."

"It provides value by offering options to enhance both code quality and the security of the company."

"I like that I can scan the code without sending it to the Kiuwan cloud. I can do it locally on my device. When the local analyzer finishes, the results display on the dashboard in the cloud. It's essential for security purposes to be able to scan my code locally."

"The solution has a continuous integration process."

"Software analytics for a lot of different languages including ABAP."

"The solution offers very good technical support."

"I've found the reporting features the most helpful."

"The feature that I have found the most valuable in Kiuwan is the speed of scanning. Compared to other SaaS tools I have used, Kiuwan is much quicker in performing scans. I have not yet used it on a large code base, but from what I have experienced, it is efficient and accurate. Additionally, I have used it both manually and in an automated pipeline, and both methods have been effective. The speed of scanning is what makes it valuable to me."

More Kiuwan pros

Cons

"The solution needs to make a more specific report."

"The solution's false positive analysis and vulnerability analysis libraries could be improved."

"The scanner itself should be improved because it is a little bit slow."

"The higher level vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, and other higher level injection attacks are difficult to highlight using Netsparker."

"The support's response time could be faster since we are in different time zones."

"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."

"Maybe the ability to make a good reporting format is needed."

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

More Invicti cons

"The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report."

"The product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."

"Perhaps more languages supported."

"Integration of the programming tools could be improved."

"The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting."

"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on."

"Kiuwan's support has room for improvement. You can only open a ticket is through email, and the support team is outside of our country. They should have a support number or chat."

"The solution seems to give us a lot of false positives. This could be improved quite a bit."

More Kiuwan cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The price should be 20% lower"

"It is competitive in the security market."

More Invicti pricing and cost advice

"Check with your account manager."

"Nothing special. It's a very fair model."

"Kiuwan is an open-source solution and free to use."

"It follows a subscription model. I think the price is somewhere in the middle."

"The price of Kiuwan is lower than that of other tools on the market."

"This solution is cheaper than other tools."

"I recommend contacting a sales person who will create the best plan payment plan for you, as we did."
