Pros
"Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them.""The scanner and the result generator are valuable features for us.""High level of accuracy and quick scanning.""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.""It has a comprehensive resulting mechanism. It is a one-stop solution for all your security testing mechanisms.""This tool is really fast and the information that they provide on vulnerabilities is pretty good.""One of the features I like about this program is the low number of false positives and the support it offers.""Invicti is a good product, and its API testing is also good."

"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally.""We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product.""The testing time is shortened because we generate test data automatically with SOAtest.""We have seen a return on investment.""The solution is scalable.""They have a feature where they can record traffic and create tests on the report traffic.""Automatic testing is the most valuable feature.""Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."

Cons
"The scanner itself should be improved because it is a little bit slow.""The custom attack preparation screen might be improved.""It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities.""Asset scanning could be better. Once, it couldn't scan assets, and the issue was strange. The price doesn't fit the budget of small and medium-sized businesses.""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.""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.""I think that it freezes without any specific reason at times. This needs to be looked into."

More Invicti Cons →

"Reporting facilities can be better.""Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved.""The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually.""Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times.""From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly.""Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings.""The performance could be a bit better.""During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."

    Overview

    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.

    Parasoft SOAtest delivers fully integrated API and web service testing capabilities that automate end-to-end functional API testing. Streamline automated testing with advanced codeless test creation for applications with multiple interfaces (REST & SOAP APIs, microservices, databases, and more).

    SOAtest reduces the risk of security breaches and performance outages by transforming functional testing artifacts into security and load equivalents. Such reuse, along with continuous monitoring of APIs for change, allows faster and more efficient testing.
