"I like that I can scan the code without sending it to the Kiuwan cloud. I can do it locally on my device. When the local analyzer finishes, the results display on the dashboard in the cloud. It's essential for security purposes to be able to scan my code locally."
"We use Kiuwan to locate the source of application vulnerabilities."
"I've found the reporting features the most helpful."
"I've tried many open source applications and the remediation or correction actions that were provided by Kiuwan were very good in comparison."
"I have found the security and QA in the source code to be most valuable."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable in Kiuwan is the speed of scanning. Compared to other SaaS tools I have used, Kiuwan is much quicker in performing scans. I have not yet used it on a large code base, but from what I have experienced, it is efficient and accurate. Additionally, I have used it both manually and in an automated pipeline, and both methods have been effective. The speed of scanning is what makes it valuable to me."
"The most valuable feature is the time to resolution, where it tells you how long it is going to take to get to a zero-base or a five-star security rating."
"It was easy to learn."
"I am impressed with the tool's detailed analysis for penetration testing. AppScan can give only visibility, but it can't do the PT part. But the PortSwigger Burp Application can do both, and it gives much more visibility on the PT rating."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is one of the best user-friendly solutions for getting the proxy set up."
"The initial setup is simple."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running."
"There is no other tool like it. I like the intuitiveness and the plugins that are available."
"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"Integration of the programming tools could be improved."
"In Kiuwan there are sometimes duplicates found in the dependency scan under the "insights" tab. It's unclear to me why these duplicates are appearing, and it would be helpful if the application teams could investigate further."
"It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality."
"The product's UI has certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"Kiuwan's support has room for improvement. You can only open a ticket is through email, and the support team is outside of our country. They should have a support number or chat."
"The development-to-delivery phase."
"The configuration hasn't been that good."
"The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."
"We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product."
"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."
"The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved."
"You can have many false positives in Burp Suite. It depends on the scale of the penetration testing."
