We performed a comparison between Invicti and Qualys Web Application Scanning based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Crawling feature: Netsparker has very detail crawling steps and mechanisms. This feature expands the attack surface."
"It has a comprehensive resulting mechanism. It is a one-stop solution for all your security testing mechanisms."
"When we try to manually exploit the vulnerabilities, it often takes time to realize what's going on and what needs to be done."
"Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems."
"Attacking feature: Actually, attacking is not a solo feature. It contains many attack engines, Hawk, and many properties. But Netsparker's attacking mechanism is very flexible. This increases the vulnerability detection rate. Also, Netsparker made the Hawk for real-time interactive command-line-based exploit testing. It's very valuable for a vulnerability scanner."
"I am impressed with Invictus’ proof-based scanning. The solution has reduced the incidence of false positive vulnerabilities. It has helped us reduce our time and focus on vulnerabilities."
"Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them."
"I like that it's stable and technical support is great."
"The interface is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"Qualys WAS' most valuable features are the navigation flow of the UI and the option for a different layer of security (identification and operation through email and mobile)."
"Qualys Web Application Scanning has multiple features like threat protection and container security scanning in one box."
"It is a good product for website penetration testing to detect vulnerabilities."
"It is a cloud-based solution, so it is easy to scale."
"With our vulnerabilities under control, it's putting our services in compliance and minimizing our risk for exposure."
"You can integrate your Burp Suite results and create an integrated report. Also, the way it shows the results - threats and exploit details - makes remediation very easy."
"The simplicity of exporting reports and the simplicity and clarity of the reports included with the product are good."
"It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities."
"The scanner itself should be improved because it is a little bit slow."
"The scanning time, complexity, and authentication features of Invicti could be improved."
"The license could be better. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license. It's a major hindrance that we are facing while scanning applications, and we have to be sure that the URLs are the same and not different so that we do not end up consuming another license for it. Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. The licensing is tied to the URL, and it's restricted. If you have a URL that you scanned once, like a website, you cannot retry that same license. If you are scanning the same website but in a different domain or different URL, you might end up paying for a second license. It would also be better if they provided proper support for multi-factor authentications. In the next release, I would like them to include good multi-factor authentication support."
"The scannings are not sufficiently updated."
"Asset scanning could be better. Once, it couldn't scan assets, and the issue was strange. The price doesn't fit the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."
"The solution's false positive analysis and vulnerability analysis libraries could be improved."
"The custom attack preparation screen might be improved."
"Sometimes the response time is low because the handshake fails, and then you have to re-login and start again."
"Deployment can be complicated."
"The product's pricing could be better."
"The reporting contains too many false positives."
"They should try to include business logic vulnerabilities in the scanner testing."
"The support could be faster."
"The area of false positives could be improved. There are quite a number of false positives as compared to other solutions. They could probably fine tune the algorithm to be able to reduce the number of false positives being detected."
"We receive false positives sometimes when using a solution that could be improved. However, the technical team provides us with the exact explanation why it was giving us that kind of error."
