"You can easily find particular features and functions through the UI."
"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."
"It highlights, with several grades of severity, the types of vulnerabilities, so we can focus on the most severe security vulnerabilities in the code."

"Compared to other tools only AppScan supports special language."
"Usually when we deploy the application, there is a process for ethical hacking. The main benefit is that, the ethical hacking is almost clean, every time. So it's less cost, less effort, less time to production."
"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."
"It has crashed at times."
"The tool should improve its output. Scanning is not a challenge anymore since there are many such tools available in the market. The product needs to focus on how its output is being used by end users. It should be also more user-friendly. One of the major challenges is in the tool's integration with applications that need to be scanned. Sometimes, the scanning is not proper."
"One thing which I think can be improved is the CI/CD Integration"
"Visibility is an issue for us. Our partners do not know we have integrations with some of IBM products."
"The solution often has a high number of false positives. It's an aspect they really need to improve upon."
"There is not a central management for static and dynamic."
"There are so many lines of code with so many different categories that I am likely to get lost. "
"The pricing has room for improvement."
"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
