Rapid7 AppSpider Valuable Features

The most valuable feature of Rapid7 AppSpider is the vulnerability reporting data. Additionally, the data is reported in a convenient way rather than seeing them as a PDF. We are able to generate all the reports exactly what we want in a flexible way.

One of the most valuable features is a replay attack. The feature identifies vulnerabilities in the web application and makes changes in the code to address identified vulnerabilities.

What I like most about AppSpider is that it's easy to use and its automated scan gives me all the details I need to know when it comes to vulnerabilities and their solutions. I wouldn't say it is extraordinary, but it serves our purposes well.

AppSpider's most valuable feature is reporting - everything is stored in the local database so it can be sent to other machines. Its internal analytics and customizations are also good.

The most valuable feature is the reporting, which is compliant with international standards. This solution will notify us about different RPGs, including the critical ones, and can report on risk or measure risk. Once we have this information then we can relay it to our internal developers.

This solution performs well and is very efficient.

For AppSpider there is more than one valuable feature. The distribution is good. With one console dashboard, we can integrate with one, two, or three different engines. When it is set up, each engine can do scanning on all of the web apps automatically.  

The integration is also good when it is available. For example, we are using selenium to record usernames and passwords. Then we use selenium recording to automate the login and scanning of the apps. These are only two of the things that make AppSpider easy to work with.

The reporting on the solution is very good. You can choose between pulling a full report or a brief report if you like. It will show, in each section, if it passed or failed. If you utilize the full report, you'll get an explanation as to why it passed or failed as well, for example, each PCI DSS item will be marked as N/A, Passed or Failed (with details in full report).

The solution scans everything, including sub-domains that were not specified.

The entire solution is interactive and has a point-and-click user experience, which makes it easy to find items or drill down on information. You don't need specialized skills to use the product.

The solution is very portable and light.

The reporting is very nice. There are many different reports and they include remediation details such as links as to where you can find patches.

It is really accurate and the rate of false positives is very low.

It can be integrated with the software development life cycle, which our customers have found very useful. It also integrates with Jira and other ticketing solutions.

I like the ability the product has to detect vulnerabilities quickly, when it has been released in our environment, then displaying them to us.
