| Lead Application and Data Security Engineer at a insurance company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.0 | I rate Contrast Security Protect 8/10. It offers great attack visibility and support, but I experienced performance issues due to high resource usage and found the reporting GUI basic, requiring a custom dashboard. |
| Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use Contrast Security Protect for DevSecOps and find its high true positive rate very valuable, with few false positives. Although it needs better integration, it proves to be worth its cost, without considering other solutions. |
| Senior Customer Success Manager at a tech company with 201-500 employees | 4.5 | I found this solution excellent for real-time application security, detecting and blocking exploits effectively. It offers great scalability and stability, though initial setup can be complex. I highly recommend it. |
