Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Snyk, CAST and others in Software Development Analytics."The most valuable feature of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is its security dashboard which is a dedicated dashboard that's pretty helpful because it gives compliance checks based on some of the leading frameworks in the industry, such as ISO 5055, OWASP, CWE Top 25, and NIST security guidelines. I find the security dashboard of the solution and the information it provides pretty useful. The security dashboard of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is a feature that stands out."
"Used for controlling the technical debt and code quality."
"It supports most programming languages."
"Our clients use CAST Highlight for cloud migration. This allows them to remove or remediate the blockers which are highlighted. This part of the solution shows improvement in quality and captures feedback for our clients."
"CAST's risk and security flow detection capabilities are highly effective, particularly in identifying security vulnerabilities. It is one of the most important and valuable features of the platform."
"The initial setup is simple."
"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."
"The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price."
"The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications."
"Enables automation of different tasks such as authorization testing."
"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."
"The extension that it provides with the community version for the skills mapping is excellent."
"The solution is stable."
"Implementation could be made more simpler as it is complex."
"Areas for improvement in CAST AIP include enhancing support for implementation in complex environments and improving technical support to address organizational challenges alongside engineering issues."
"The overall coverage of rules could be improved in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform because it does not cater to or cover all. For example, 2022 CWE coverage is still not available in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. The solution also covers some NIST rules, but it does not cater to all rules. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next update of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is for it to provide source code developer and contributor details, especially information on which areas of code were touched. This would be a good insight as the CAST Application Intelligence Platform looks into the source code."
"It has very few plugins to access different code repositories, so source code has to be fed."
"The integration of this solution could be improved."
"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."
"One area that can be improved, when compared to alternative tools, is that they could provide different reporting options and in different formats like PDF or something like that."
"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"The one feature that I would like to see in Burp is active scanning of REST based web services. A lot of organizations are providing APIs to access their services to support different business models like SaaS. Scanning these APIs is still a challenge for many security product companies."
"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."
"The Burp Collaborator needs improvement. There also needs to be improved integration."
"The solution lacks sufficient stability."
