We performed a comparison between OWASP Zap and Seeker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)."It has improved my organization with faster security tests."
"Automatic scanning is a valuable feature and very easy to use."
"They offer free access to some other tools."
"The vulnerabilities that it finds, because the primary goal is to secure applications and websites."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
"The OWASP's tool is free of cost, which gives it a great advantage, especially for smaller companies to make use of the tool."
"The product discovers more vulnerabilities compared to other tools."
"The solution is good at reporting the vulnerabilities of the application."
"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."
"The documentation needs to be improved because I had to learn everything from watching YouTube videos."
"Sometimes, we get some false positives."
"There isn't too much information about it online."
"Lacks resources where users can internally access a learning module from the tool."
"There are too many false positives."
"Too many false positives; test reports could be improved."
"The product should allow users to customize the report based on their needs."
"The solution is somewhat unreliable because after we get the finding, we have to manually verify each of its findings to see whether it's a false positive or a true finding, and it takes time."
"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."
