"The UI was very intuitive."
"We use it as a security testing application."
"Compared to other tools only AppScan supports special language."
"It provides a better integration for our ecosystem."
"You can easily find particular features and functions through the UI."
"The product has valuable features for static and dynamic testing."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Postman."
"I am impressed with the tool's correlation function."
"Very useful for finding out how the system responds to load, stress, and normal situations, as well as benchmarking with other industry competitors. It also improved our response time, memory delegation, and CPU delegation. In addition, we used LoadRunner to optimize our database and website."
"The initial setup and installation of the software were very easy and straightforward."
"The solution helps my clients save time. It is easier to capture reports and improves product quality. The product helps to identify customer defects during performance tests and reduces workloads. The product has improved my client's user interaction. It has reduced peak load times."
"The load testing, reporting, and scripting features are all valuable features."
"I like the user interface. I like the way we can divide our scenarios and can tune them. The integration with the quality center is great. These features are really good."
"The reporting mechanism is a valuable feature that generates good reports."
"I think that analytics is very good and that the analytics features are very powerful."
"They could add a software component analysis tool."
"It has crashed at times."
"AppScan is too complicated and should be made more user-friendly."
"I think being able to search across more containers, especially some of the docker elements. We need a little tighter integration there. That's the only thing I can see at this point."
"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."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like to see more aggressive reports. I would also like to see less false positives."
"IBM Security AppScan Source is rather hard to use."
"I would like the solution to include monitoring capacity."
"The solution must be more user-friendly."
"More guidance on the use of the Tru Client protocol which is used for Web interfaces."
"I would like them to lower the licensing cost and provide better support."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Professional can improve the implementation of digital areas, such as digital testing, UI and native application, and native mobile applications."
"The flexibility could be improved."
"LoadRunner Professional's parameter data could be improved."
