We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution generates reports automatically and quickly.""The most valuable feature of Invicti is getting baseline scanning and incremental scan.""The scanner and the result generator are valuable features for us.""I am impressed by the whole technology that they are using in this solution. It is really fast. When using netscan, the confirmation that it gives on the vulnerabilities is pretty cool. It is really easy to configure a scan in Netsparker Web Application Security Scanner. It is also really easy to deploy.""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.""I like that it's stable and technical support is great.""It correctly parses DOM and JS and has really good support for URL Rewrite rules, which is important for today's websites."

"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface.""It's very easy to use and user-friendly. It does the job.""In Rapid7 InsightAppSec, a distinctive feature is the provision of a CDM for integrating web servers and web applications. To establish the connection between these applications, you only need to paste the provided CDN into your metadata. Once connected, every piece of information, including vulnerabilities, can be accessed. It also offers demo sessions.""It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics.""You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well.""It is a very robust solution.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"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 solution's false positive analysis and vulnerability analysis libraries could be improved.""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.""The support's response time could be faster since we are in different time zones.""The custom attack preparation screen might be improved.""Netsparker doesn't provide the source code of the static application security testing.""The higher level vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, and other higher level injection attacks are difficult to highlight using Netsparker.""The scannings are not sufficiently updated."

"When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration. If I run a scan for the same product with a different scan configuration, it should keep the previous scan configuration and not replace it with the new scan configuration. It should just add the new scan configuration. That would be helpful. They do keep the results as it is, but the scan configuration keeps changing. For example, I have set a scan configuration to a full scan, and next week, I want to run a new scan for the same product with some changes or new functionalities. I want to run a partial scan. Currently, if I change the scan configuration to partial, it changes the old one also to partial. That should be improved.""The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec.""The number of web applications we can scan is limited.""I would like more details of what the product can do.""Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages.""The interface should be a little bit easier to manage. Sometimes, the logic that they use is kind of strange. They need to work a little bit more on their interface to make it more understandable. The interface is the only problem. I'm using Rapid7, which is very intuitive. There are other applications available in the market with a better interface. They can include more techniques or options to test different types of security because the templates are limited. It would be great to see them follow the MITRE ATT&CK framework or what is there in tools like Veracode and Synopsys.""We'd like to see integrations with WAF solutions.""In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
