Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of the CAST Highlight are the interface and there are three notations that are very simple to understand and communicate with.""It offers good performance.""The way it tells you which codebase is more ready for the cloud and which codebase is less ready is very valuable. It works seamlessly with most languages.""CAST Highlight is easy to use and has a good dashboard.""The most valuable features of CAST Highlight are automation and speed."

"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer.""CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function.""CyberFlood is flexible.""The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."

Cons
"The ease of configuration and customization could be improved in CAST Highlight.""The reports that describe the issues of concern are rather abstract and the issues should be more clearly described to the user.""Its price should be better. It is a pretty costly tool. They have two products: CAST Highlight and CAST AIP. I would expect CAST Highlight to have the Help dashboard and the Engineering dashboard. These dashboards are currently a part of CAST AIP, and if these are made available in CAST Highlight, customers won't have to use two different products all the time.""CAST Highlight could improve to allow us to comment and do a deep analysis by ourselves.""There's a bit of a learning curve at the outset."

More CAST Highlight Cons →

"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better.""The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes.""I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
