HCL AppScan Reviews

The primary use case for AppScan is for security purposes. I compare AppScan with other tools such as Veracode. We use AppScan for vulnerability detection and auto-remediation of vulnerabilities with features built into the tool, including their AI solutions. I work with AppScan and other security tools as part of my role, focusing on market-leading tools.

AppScan provides great features that facilitate quick solutions to vulnerabilities. It helps by suggesting alternative functions that can be implemented directly into the code, thus reducing the need for developers to conduct extensive searches.

I mainly use AppScan to secure various types of applications. I use its DAFDAT solution for black box scanning, as well as SaaS and source code validation. AppScan helps in scanning code for vulnerabilities, including open-source code.

The most valuable feature of HCL AppScan is its integration with the SDLC, particularly during the coding phase. This allows for scanning during code construction, which is beneficial. However, I also find the DAF and penetration testing features valuable, especially for discovering vulnerabilities like those in the OWASP Top Ten.

The solution is used for the vulnerabilities scan on the network side.

The reporting part is the most valuable feature.

This is a primarily application security testing solution.

SAST is the only feature that works using the on-prem version. It's becoming very difficult for us to integrate it with the other SecOps solutions. It is a very good solution but only when using the standard version.

HCL AppScan is a security scanning tool that we use in our company to scan our applications.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the scanning or security part.

We use the product for Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). By integrating AppScan into our CI/CD pipelines, aligned with Agile methodologies, we ensure that security testing becomes an integral part of the software development lifecycle.

The product has valuable features for static and dynamic testing. It is one of the leaders in the market amongst SAST solutions.

I use HCL AppScan in my company for application security scanning.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is good to run the scan faster. You can basically run the scan and take a break at work since the tool will compute the results, which makes the product quite intuitive. HCL AppScan doesn't require constant monitoring.

We use it for evaluating the application's code on web pages and previously published applications to identify vulnerabilities. It helps us to see how the code is written and how hard it is to find vulnerabilities. It's a useful tool for our purposes.

The product is useful, particularly in its sensitivity and scanning capabilities. Additionally, it allows for investigation while the developer is writing the code. It is a more efficient process compared to other tools like App Scan.
