"The solution is able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities. It's better at it than other products."

"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"The solution is quite helpful for session management and configuration."
"The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price."
"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."
"The most valuable features are Burp Intruder and Burp Scanner."
"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."
"There is no other tool like it. I like the intuitiveness and the plugins that are available."

"We have had a problem with authentification."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"The scanner and crawler need to be improved."
"I need the solution to be more user-friendly. The solution needs to be user-friendly."
"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."
"We wish that the Spider feature would appear in the same shape that it does in previous versions."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high."
"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"There were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it."
