We performed a comparison between HCL AppScan and OpenText LoadRunner Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."For me, as a manager, it was the ease of use. Inserting security into the development process is not normally an easy project to do. The ability for the developer to actually use it and get results and focuses, that's what counted."
"The most valuable feature of HCL AppScan is scanning QR codes."
"It was easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Postman."
"The product has valuable features for static and dynamic testing."
"The solution offers services in a few specific development languages."
"The product is useful, particularly in its sensitivity and scanning capabilities."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that we do not have to accommodate the load-testing infrastructure in our own data center."
"Keeping up with DevOps, thus the best feature of StormRunner is that we don't have to build and maintain infrastructure anymore."
"The most valuable feature is that you can create an infrastructure on-demand and do performance testing with it."
"The most valuable feature is having load generators in countries where we don’t have access to them."
"The TCO has been optimized along with the total ROI."
"The TruClient feature is the most valuable for us. An application with testing can only be scripted using TruClient, so it's part web-based, but it also has its own protocol combined with HTTP and HTML. So many other tools do not recognize this specific proprietary protocol. Using TruClient, we can still create scripts that cover everything that we need to cover."
"The product supports a wide variety of technology compared to any other tool."
"AppScan is too complicated and should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution often has a high number of false positives. It's an aspect they really need to improve upon."
"In future releases, I would like to see more aggressive reports. I would also like to see less false positives."
"There are so many lines of code with so many different categories that I am likely to get lost. "
"IBM Security AppScan needs to add performance optimization for quickly scanning the target web applications."
"Sometimes it doesn't work so well."
"If HCL AppScan is able to alert the clients over email once the scan is complete, it would be great. Right now, HCL AppScan doesn't let me know if the scanning part is finished or not, because of which I have to come back and check mostly."
"The dashboard, for AppScan or the Fortified fast tool, which we use needs to be improved."
"One area of improvement in the software's support is the replaying of captured data within the development environment. It would be beneficial if the replay feature could accurately mimic what the actual application is doing for better analysis and testing."
"We are trying to put it into a complete CI/CD pipeline, but there are still some challenges when you try to run it through different protocols. The challenges are around how you can containerize applications. There are some limitations to some protocols, such as desktop. And when it comes to database testing, there are some things that we can't do through CI/CD."
"The support team provides delayed responses."
"We encounter hurdles while running the professional version for on-premise setup."
"I would like for there to be better integration with other tools so that when you do load testing you can also do a security check."
"The product price could be more affordable."
"Reporting and analysis need improvement. Compared to the old school LoadRunner Windows application, the reporting and analysis are mediocre in LoadRunner Cloud."
"CI/CD integration could be a little bit better. When there's a test and if you see that there are high response times in the test itself, it would be great to be able to send an alert. It would give a heads-up to the architect community or ops community."
