Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"A significant advantage of Seeker is that it is an interactive scanner, and we have found it to be much more effective in reducing the amount of false positives than dynamic scanners such as AppScan, Micro Focus Fortify, etc. Furthermore, with Seeker, we are finding more and more valid (i.e. "true") positives over time compared with the dynamic scanners."

More Seeker Pros →

"CyberFlood is flexible.""CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function.""The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator.""Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."

More Spirent CyberFlood Pros →

Cons
"One area that Seeker can improve is to make it more customizable. All security scanning tools have a defined set of rules that are based on certain criteria which they will use to detect issues. However, the criteria that you set initially is not something that all applications are going to need."

More Seeker Cons →

"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes.""I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better.""Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
