Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."We leverage it as a quality check against code."
"IBM AppScan has made our work easy, as we can do four to five scans of websites at a time, which saves time when it comes to vulnerability."
"We use it as a security testing application."
"It is easy it is to use. It is quick to find things, because of the code scanning tools. It's quite simple to use and it is very good the way it reports the findings."
"You can easily find particular features and functions through the UI."
"The UI was very intuitive."
"It identifies all the URLs and domains on its own and then performs tests and provides the results."
"We are now deploying less defects to production."
"It provides clients with an understanding of application and system performance."
"I recommend LoadRunner Professional as it supports many protocols and applications and is very easy to set up and use."
"The solution supports a lot of protocols."
"Paramterization and correlation are important features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create performance test cases quickly and then execute them. It provides a lot of powerful features to do that very efficiently and effectively."
"The solution can handle a huge amount of workloads, it's quite scalable."
"It is an advanced tool with multiple options available for the performance system."
"What we like the most is that it integrates with UC."
"The dashboard, for AppScan or the Fortified fast tool, which we use needs to be improved."
"There is not a central management for static and dynamic."
"It's a little bit basic when you talk about the Web Services. If AppScan improved its maturity on Web Services testing, that would be good."
"They could add a software component analysis tool."
"We would like to integrate with some of the other reporting tools that we're planning to use in the future."
"AppScan is too complicated and should be made more user-friendly."
"The penetration testing feature should be included."
"I would love to see more containers. Many of the tools are great, they require an amount of configuration, setup and infrastructure. If most the applications were in a container, I think everything would be a little bit faster, because all our clients are now using containers."
"Licensing costs could be reduced."
"Compared to some other vendors, there is a lack of community support."
"I recently just got to see LoadRunner Developer, but it is still not fully developed to use."
"The solution is very costly. The cost is very high, especially considering a lot of other resources are available now and they are less expensive. For a small organization, it is very difficult to sustain the costs involved in having the solution or the related fees"
"LoadRunner Professional's parameter data could be improved."
"We still have some issues with integration with things like SiteScope which, obviously, being another HPE product should be very straightforward, but there are always issues around that."
"I would like to see better-licensing costs."
"The flexibility could be improved."
