One of the challenges I have with AppSpider is that it gives you a lot of false positives, especially when compared to other solutions. This is the main aspect that I hope to see Rapid7 improve on. Beyond reducing false positives, I would also like to see them implement better reporting features, particularly in the executive summary type of reports which need to be user-friendly and easily understood by non-technical people. The recommendations and solutions on these reports could always be improved to make them more relevant, too. Lastly, the stability isn't that great, and sometimes it becomes non-responsive. I feel like the stability of the application is very average and currently needs more work.

The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes a couple of minutes. It's quite easy, you just need to put in the key, and then you can progress with installing the scan engine. Moreover, you're not only limited to the cloud, but you have the option to install a local scan engine. So we have both on-prem and cloud-based versions with our customers. When it comes to maintenance, at least two people are needed. One person to conduct scans and an additional person to monitor the end-to-end process. After conducting scans, the results are sent to the developer for analysis and discussion. It is possible for different interpretations of the scan results to occur, which can lead to varying outcomes. This aspect of technical analytics is a separate segment from the maintenance process. The maintenance team typically consists of administrators.
