Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."AppScan is stable."
"The solution is easy to install. I would rate the product's setup between six to seven out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications that need to be scanned. We have a development and operations team to take care of the product's maintenance."
"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."
"There's extensive functionality with custom rules and a custom knowledge base."
"Compared to other tools only AppScan supports special language."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The product has valuable features for static and dynamic testing."
"The security and the dashboard are the most valuable features."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
"The solution's scalability can be a matter of concern because one license runs on one machine only."
"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 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."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The product has some technical limitations."
"The solution often has a high number of false positives. It's an aspect they really need to improve upon."
"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."
"It has crashed at times."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
