Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."The product helps users to scan and fix vulnerabilities in the pipeline."
"The interface is easy to use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. I think it's stable enough. I don't see any crashes within the application, so its stability is high."
"ZAP is easy to use. The automated scan is a powerful feature. You can simulate attacks with various parameters. ZAP integrates well with SonarQube."
"They offer free access to some other tools."
"You can run it against multiple targets."
"The reporting is quite intuitive, which gives you a clear indication of what kind of vulnerability you have that you can drill down on to gather more information."
"The product discovers more vulnerabilities compared to other tools."
"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."
"The work that it does in the limited scope is good, but the scope is very limited in terms of the scanning features. The number of things it tests or finds is limited. They need to make it a more of a mainstream tool that people can use, and they can even think about having it on a proprietary basis. They need to increase the coverage of the scan and the results that it finds. That has always been Zap's limitation. Zap is a very good tool for a beginner, but once you start moving up the ladder where you want further details and you want your scan to show more in-depth results, Zap falls short because its coverage falls short. It does not have the capacity to do more."
"The solution is unable to customize reports."
"It would be nice to have a solid SQL injection engine built into Zap."
"Too many false positives; test reports could be improved."
"Lacks resources where users can internally access a learning module from the tool."
"The ability to search the internet for other use cases and to use the solution to make applications more secure should be addressed."
"They stopped their support for a short period. They've recently started to come back again. In the early days, support was much better."
"OWASP Zap needs to extend to mobile application testing."
"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
