Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are now deploying less defects to production."
"It's generally a very user-friendly tool. Anyone can easily learn how to scan"
"The product is useful, particularly in its sensitivity and scanning capabilities."
"Usually when we deploy the application, there is a process for ethical hacking. The main benefit is that, the ethical hacking is almost clean, every time. So it's less cost, less effort, less time to production."
"The UI was very intuitive."
"We use it as a security testing application."
"IBM AppScan has made our work easy, as we can do four to five scans of websites at a time, which saves time when it comes to vulnerability."
"The static scans are good, and the SaaS as well."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"The solution's scalability can be a matter of concern because one license runs on one machine only."
"IBM Security AppScan needs to add performance optimization for quickly scanning the target web applications."
"It's a little bit basic when you talk about the Web Services. If AppScan improved its maturity on Web Services testing, that would be good."
"They have to improve support."
"The databases for HCL are small and have room for improvement."
"We would like to integrate with some of the other reporting tools that we're planning to use in the future."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Scans become slow on large websites."
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
