Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can easily download the tool's rule packs and update them.""This is a stable solution at the end of the day.""The reporting is very useful because you can always view an entire list of the issues that you have."

More Fortify Software Security Center Pros →

"Crawling feature: Netsparker has very detail crawling steps and mechanisms. This feature expands the attack surface.""When we try to manually exploit the vulnerabilities, it often takes time to realize what's going on and what needs to be done.""I am impressed with Invictus’ proof-based scanning. The solution has reduced the incidence of false positive vulnerabilities. It has helped us reduce our time and focus on vulnerabilities.""The best features of Invicti are its ability to confirm access vulnerabilities, SSL injection vulnerabilities, and its connectors to other security tools.""The dashboard is really cool, and the features are really good. It tells you about the software version you're using in your web application. It gives you the entire technology stack, and that really helps. Both web and desktop apps are good in terms of application scanning. It has a lot of security checks that are easily customizable as per your requirements. It also has good customer support.""This tool is really fast and the information that they provide on vulnerabilities is pretty good.""It has a comprehensive resulting mechanism. It is a one-stop solution for all your security testing mechanisms.""Attacking feature: Actually, attacking is not a solo feature. It contains many attack engines, Hawk, and many properties. But Netsparker's attacking mechanism is very flexible. This increases the vulnerability detection rate. Also, Netsparker made the Hawk for real-time interactive command-line-based exploit testing. It's very valuable for a vulnerability scanner."

Cons
"We are having issues with false positives that need to be resolved.""Fortify Software Security Center's setup is really painful.""This solution is difficult to implement, and it should be made more comfortable for the end-users."

More Fortify Software Security Center Cons →

"The support's response time could be faster since we are in different time zones.""The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective. There are URL restrictions that consume our license. Compared to other DAST solutions and task tools like WebInspect and Burp Enterprise, Invicti is very expensive. The solution’s scanning time is also very long compared to other DAST tools. It might be due to proof-based scanning.""Netsparker doesn't provide the source code of the static application security testing.""They don't really provide the proof of concept up to the level that we need in our organization. We are a consultancy firm, and we provide consultancy for the implementation and deployment solutions to our customers. When you run the scans and the scan is completed, it only shows the proof of exploit, which really doesn't work because the tool is running the scan and exploiting on the read-only form. You don't really know whether it is actually giving the proof of exploit. We cannot prove it manually to a customer that the exploit is genuine. It is really hard to perform it manually and prove it to the concerned development, remediation, and security teams. It is currently missing the static application security part of the application security, especially web application security. It would be really cool if they can integrate a SAS tool with their dynamic one.""The custom attack preparation screen might be improved.""Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal.""Right now, they are missing the static application security part, especially web application security.""The solution needs to make a more specific report."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The solution is priced fair."
  • More Fortify Software Security Center Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is competitive in the security market."
  • "OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."
  • "We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."
  • "I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."
  • "The price should be 20% lower"
  • "Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."
  • "We are using an NFR license and I do not know the exact price of the NFR license. I think 20 FQDN for three years would cost around 35,000 US Dollars."
  • "Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."
