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."Fortify helps us to stay updated with the newest languages and versions coming out."
"The solution saves us a lot of money. We're trying to reduce exposure and costs related to remediation."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to submit your code and have it run in the background. Then, if something comes up that is more specific, you have the security analyst who can jump in and help, if needed."
"The licensing was good."
"We have the option to test applications with or without credentials."
"The most important feature of the product is to follow today's technology fast, updated rules and algorithms (of the product)."
"This product is top-notch solution and the technology is the best on the market."
"One of the top features is the source code review for vulnerabilities. When we look at source code, it's hard to see where areas may be weak in terms of security, and Fortify on Demand's source code review helps with that."
"You can scan any number of applications and it updates its database."
"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 most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the advanced features, user-friendly interface, and integration with other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."
"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"This solution has helped a lot in finding bugs and vulnerabilities, and the scanner is good enough for simple web apps."
"The Repeater and the BApp extensions are particularly useful. Certain extensions, such as the Active Scan extensions and the Autoracer extension, are very good."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard. It is very informative and you can receive all the information you need in one place. It's clear, well-defined, and organized. Anybody without any cybersecurity can use it."
"It could have a little bit more streamlined installation procedure. Based on the things that I've done, it could also be a bit more automated. It is kind of taking a bunch of different scanners, and SSC is just kind of managing the results. The scanning doesn't really seem to be fully integrated into the SSC platform. More automation and any kind of integration in the SSC platform would definitely be good. There could be a way to initiate scans from SSC and more functionality on the server-side to initiate desk scans if it is not already available."
"It lacks of some important features that the competitors have, such as Software Composition Analysis, full dead code detection, and Agile Alliance's Best Practices and Technical Debt."
"The Visual Studio plugin seems to hang when a scan is run on big projects. I would expect some improvements there."
"An improvement would be the ability to get vulnerabilities flowing automatically into another system."
"We typically do our bulk uploads of our scans with some automation at the end of the development cycle but the scanning can take a lot of time. If you were doing all of it at regular intervals it would still consume a lot of time. This could procedure could improve."
"There's a bit of a learning curve. Our development team is struggling with following the rules and following the new processes."
"In terms of what could be improved, we need more strategic analysis reports, not just for one specific application, but for the whole enterprise. In the next release, we need more reports and more analytic views for all the applications. There is no enterprise view in Fortify. I would like enterprise views and reports."
"It does scanning for all virtual machines and other things, but it doesn't do the scanning for containers. It currently lacks the ability to do the scanning on containers. We're asking their product management team to expand this capability to containers."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"The solution lacks sufficient stability."
"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."
"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."
"You can have many false positives in Burp Suite. It depends on the scale of the penetration testing."
"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."
"As with most automated security tools, too many false positives."
"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."
