Pros
"It highlights, with several grades of severity, the types of vulnerabilities, so we can focus on the most severe security vulnerabilities in the code.""AppScan is stable.""The most valuable feature of the solution is Postman.""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.""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.""The solution offers services in a few specific development languages.""The security and the dashboard are the most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the scanning or security part."

"It's a very powerful tool.""The most beneficial features of the solution are flexibility and versatility in their performance.""With LoadRunner Enterprise, doing various types of performance testing, load testing, and automation testing has been very helpful for some of the teams.""The product is good, and the concept is good as well.""One of the most valuable features of this solution is recording and replaying, and the fact that there are multiple options available to do this.""The fact that you can have tens of thousands of virtual users and just expand an army of load generators to hammer on whatever application you're testing.""This product is better oriented to large, enterprise-oriented organizations.""We can book load generators."

Cons
"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.""The penetration testing feature should be included.""A desktop version should be added.""One thing which I think can be improved is the CI/CD Integration""The solution often has a high number of false positives. It's an aspect they really need to improve upon.""They should have a better UI for dashboards.""IBM Security AppScan needs to add performance optimization for quickly scanning the target web applications."

More HCL AppScan Cons →

"They need to focus on minimizing the cost.""The solution is expensive.""It is tough to maintain from the infrastructure side.""For such an experienced team as mine, who have been with the product for over ten years, sometimes working with technical support is not that easy.""It's not that popular on the cloud.""We'd like the product to include protocol identifiers whenever a tester wants to test a new application.""On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on.""The price of this solution could be less expensive. However, this category of solutions is expensive."
