We performed a comparison between Invicti and Qualys Web Application Scanning based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Invicti is getting baseline scanning and incremental scan."
"Crawling feature: Netsparker has very detail crawling steps and mechanisms. This feature expands the attack surface."
"This tool is really fast and the information that they provide on vulnerabilities is pretty good."
"The solution generates reports automatically and quickly."
"Invicti is a good product, and its API testing is also good."
"Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems."
"The scanner is light on the network and does not impact the network when scans are running."
"Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them."
"Qualys' process of updating signatures is something we really appreciate, and it's way ahead of its industry peers."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It is a cloud-based solution, so it is easy to scale."
"We can do scanning and submit reports straight to the customers when there are new vulnerabilities, then tell them whether they are affected or not."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning has multiple features like threat protection and container security scanning in one box."
"Qualys WAS' most valuable features are the navigation flow of the UI and the option for a different layer of security (identification and operation through email and mobile)."
"It is a good product for website penetration testing to detect vulnerabilities."
"We have experienced quick customer support. They have a complete list of our previous issues along with our history, which makes it faster for them to solve issues."
"They don't really provide the proof of concept up to the level that we need in our organization. We are a consultancy firm, and we provide consultancy for the implementation and deployment solutions to our customers. When you run the scans and the scan is completed, it only shows the proof of exploit, which really doesn't work because the tool is running the scan and exploiting on the read-only form. You don't really know whether it is actually giving the proof of exploit. We cannot prove it manually to a customer that the exploit is genuine. It is really hard to perform it manually and prove it to the concerned development, remediation, and security teams. It is currently missing the static application security part of the application security, especially web application security. It would be really cool if they can integrate a SAS tool with their dynamic one."
"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal."
"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."
"Right now, they are missing the static application security part, especially web application security."
"I think that it freezes without any specific reason at times. This needs to be looked into."
"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 custom attack preparation screen might be improved."
"The support's response time could be faster since we are in different time zones."
"The support could be faster."
"The UI is not user-friendly and you don't have a yearly reporting facility where you can slice and dice in different jobs."
"The virus code updates are not frequent enough."
"There should be better visibility into the application."
"In certain cases, this product does have false positives, which the company should work on."
"The product should allow users to upload their payloads."
"In terms of the Policy Compliance model which they currently have, not all the platforms are being covered. If they could improve on the Policy Compliance model, since there are policies which are benchmarked against it, this will be helpful for us."
"There's a distinction between internal and external scanning processes that could be streamlined. Currently, for internal scanning, specific configurations and scanner appliances need to be deployed within the network, which differs from the simpler setup for external scans. This dual process complicates the setup for comprehensive scanning coverage."
