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.

Modernization of microservices and edge workloads has accelerated while integration still needs improvement
One of the major challenges I faced with SUSE Rancher was during a POC for one customer who was using VMware. There was a significant challenge between VMware CSI and SUSE integrations. We had to move that deployment from VMware, which the customer wanted, to a bare metal solution. Flexibility also means better integrations with major industry solution providers like VMware, which many enterprise organizations use. The integrations with SUSE Rancher are fine, as long as you have open APIs, anyone can connect. For me, there were no challenges because we had standard products already certified. However, the integration between VMware and SUSE could definitely be improved. I chose 7 out of 10 because I faced VMware-related challenges as I explained. A lot of customers are still on VMware, while many also use Red Hat solutions, especially with the IBM push now. The marketing and outreach need to increase to penetrate more accounts, which are the two improvements I suggest.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."
"I would rate the stability as ten out of ten."
"The scanner is light on the network and does not impact the network when scans are running."
"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."
"It has very good integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"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."
"Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems."
"SUSE Rancher has positively impacted my organization with increased efficiency in a 10x manner."
"The most valuable features of SUSE Rancher include the user interface and the display features."
"SUSE Rancher is best used for large-scale applications such as ours; it manages very high-end infrastructure, has very good customer support, and is very easy to understand in terms of usage."
"Rancher Desktop provides support for Kubernetes setup on local machines."
"Rancher Desktop provides support for Kubernetes setup on local machines."
"The end-to-end deployment was at least 30 percent cheaper than OpenShift, which was the biggest criterion since customers are cost-conscious."
"SUSE Rancher has made things easier for my team and organization by reducing errors, as I use it every day of the week, and it shows us issues through dashboards."
"SUSE Rancher is best used for large-scale applications such as ours; it manages very high-end infrastructure, and it has very good customer support, and it is very easy to understand in terms of usage."
 

Cons

"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 scanner itself should be improved because it is a little bit slow."
"Invicti's reporting capabilities need enhancement. We need enterprise-level information instead of repo-level details. Unlike Appiro, Invicti does not provide portfolio-level insights into vulnerability remediation over time."
"I think that it freezes without any specific reason at times. This needs to be looked into."
"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal."
"The higher level vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, and other higher level injection attacks are difficult to highlight using Netsparker."
"When scanning a large web-based application, it tends to process slow and takes a long time especially on crawling and attacking part."
"Currently, there is nothing I would like to improve."
"Some initial setup and configuration were required by the admin side for enabling security policies, which were not supported initially."
"Additional features for a paid solution should be included, such as more detailed insights, better graphics, and an improved user interface."
"I wish the container could be more lightweight so that anyone can test and verify SUSE Rancher Prime."
"Some initial setup and configuration were required by the admin side for enabling security policies, which were not supported initially."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool, such as addressing the errors, addressing the stability, and addressing the reliability."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool, such as addressing the errors, addressing the stability, and addressing the reliability."
"I have noticed that SUSE Rancher's GUI is slow because we have more than 1,000 pods, and when searching for a pod name, the page takes some time to load."
"One of the major challenges I faced with SUSE Rancher was during a POC for one customer who was using VMware; there was a significant challenge between VMware CSI and SUSE integrations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."
"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."
"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."
"I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."
"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."
"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."
"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."
