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.

Centralized analytics have strengthened patch visibility and support efficient regulatory reporting

From my experience, I assess the product's analytics capabilities as successful. It helped us significantly with patching and managing the risk of the patching process across all our environments, including network devices with Windows and Unix systems. The product covered several environments and gave us exactly what we needed in our environment. Tenable Security Center's centralized platform helped with risk assessment and management across our IT environments. It covered the patching process, and we previously faced many issues regarding how to patch different environments, how to monitor the patching process, and whether it was successful or not. We obtained good reports showing when patches were closed and the details of each patch, including who executed it and everything related to the patching process until it was closed. This gave us good details about the process which helped us significantly in our reporting and even in audits, whether internal or external. We learned how to close audit issues safely and successfully. We used the dashboards for real-time threat insights and extracted several dashboards from Tenable Security Center. We use these dashboards in our cybersecurity dashboard and committees that we have. These dashboards are part of our committees, especially the cybersecurity committee and other committees that we attend.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the stability as ten out of ten."

"I would definitely recommend to those who really want to know in-depth details of their applications/products regarding the security of their web system."

"It is a very good tool."

"One of the features I like about this program is the low number of false positives and the support it offers."

"The platform is stable."

"This tool is really fast and the information that they provide on vulnerabilities is pretty good."

"Netsparker has done an awesome job with its crawler, as it has found all of the links (also thanks to its good DOM parser)."

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

More Invicti pros

"The most important features are the dashboard and reporting. The dashboard provides statistics with graphs and bar charts for our management."

"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."

"We use Tenable to scan all of our environments and plugins for vulnerabilities. Tenable helps us discover network vulnerabilities to threats and piracy."

"The most valuable features of Tenable SC are scanning, reporting, dashboards, and automation."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the vulnerability assessment."

"The most effective feature of Tenable Security Center for detecting vulnerabilities is its capability for critical mapping."

"I find Tenable SC to be a very scalable product."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the dashboards and speed of the test, and Tenable.sc is user-friendly."

More Tenable Security Center pros

Cons

"Right now, they are missing the static application security part, especially web application security."

"Perhaps the custom attack preparation screen might be improved."

"Improvement could be made in the area of production."

"I think that it freezes without any specific reason at times."

"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."

"Reporting should be improved. The reporting options should be made better for end-users. Currently, it is possible, but it's not the best. Being able to choose what I want to see in my reports rather than being given prefixed information would make my life easier. I had to depend on the API for getting the content that I wanted. If they could fix the reporting feature to make it more comprehensive and user-friendly, it would help a lot of end-users. Everything else was good about this product."

"They could enhance the support for data swap testing for the platform."

"Invicti's reporting capabilities need enhancement."

More Invicti cons

"Security can always be improved."

"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."

"One of the challenges that we may have experienced with that platform would be the flexibility of how to modify or create."

"It's important for Tenable to catch up on testing capabilities that are present in solutions like Qualys."

"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."

"If I want to have a very low-managed scan policy, it's a lot of work to create something which is very basic."

"To be honest, I find SecurityCenter to be lacking in too many ways where my usage of it has been concerned."

"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."

More Tenable Security Center cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price should be 20% lower"

"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."

"It is competitive in the security market."

"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."

"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."

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

More Invicti pricing and cost advice

"I use a local license to perform penetration testing and I'm pretty happy with everything when it comes to pricing and licensing."

"It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."

"We're happy with the licensing cost and find it affordable."

"This solution's price is quite high."

"We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."

"The tool provides competitive pricing."

"Though reasonable, the main competitor of Tenable SC, Rapid7, offers a more aggressive and better priced product."

"Compared to other companies or other products it could maybe be a little bit less, but the price is okay. I would say it's not very expensive."
