Offers efficient scanning of entire websites but presence of false positive bugs, leading to time-consuming efforts in distinguishing real bugs from false alarms
We have found that so many times, false positive bugs are there, and then we spend a lot of time basically separating them from real bugs. So that's the reason we are looking for some other tool. So we were in discussion with Acunetix. Therefore, the false positive rate is, like, something that we would like to improve. What we are looking for is if this false positive rate goes down because we were OWASP Zap tool users, which was free anyway. But there were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it. So then we thought, okay, why not we go with the tool? Even if it is not very expensive. But still, every year, we have to renew the license. And we got this tool. Again, we found that in this tool also, even if it is less, there are still a lot of false positive bugs out there. So we again have to spend so much time. So we hired a security tester, who was basically using Acunetix in his previous company for almost three years, and then you said that in that scanning is very slow. The scanning is also slow. Like, sometimes the site scan takes eight hours, six to eight hours. Yeah. And whereas in Acunetix, it took three to four hours. And plus, there are no false positives. I'm not saying none but there's very little. But here, the rate sometimes is very high. These are the two features I think we would like to improve further.

User-friendly solution with good scalability

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are mostly using it for scanning the entire website. So, we basically create a script with the entire website and then run it for different injections."
"The reporting part is the most valuable. It also has very good features. We use almost all of the features for different kinds of customers and needs."
"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."
"It is useful for scanning and tracing activities."
"It offers very good accuracy. You can trust the results."
"You can scan any number of applications and it updates its database."
"The most valuable feature of Burp Suite Professional is its ability to schedule tasks for scanning websites, which helps in performing regular checks of IP addresses."
"The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
 

Cons

"We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product."
"As with most automated security tools, too many false positives."
"There were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it."
"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."
"There could be an improvement in the API security testing. There is another tool called Postman and if we had a built-in portal similar to Postman which captures the API, we would be able to generate the API traffic. Right now we need a Postman tool and the Burp Suite for performing API tests. It would be a huge benefit to be able to do it in a single UI."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high."
"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."
"The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
