We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I would say that it is stable, as I am not aware of any major issues.""Rapid7 AppSpider is good at managing different applications. It uses applets and generates reports to cover the PCA/GDPR compliance requirements.""I like the ability the product has to detect vulnerabilities quickly, when it has been released in our environment, then displaying them to us.""The entire solution is interactive and has a point-and-click user experience, which makes it easy to find items or drill down on information. You don't need specialized skills to use the product.""The most valuable feature of Rapid7 AppSpider is the vulnerability reporting data. Additionally, the data is reported in a convenient way rather than seeing them as a PDF. We are able to generate all the reports exactly what we want in a flexible way.""The setup is usually straightforward.""The most valuable feature is the reporting, which is compliant with international standards.""AppSpider's most valuable feature is reporting - everything is stored in the local database so it can be sent to other machines."

Cons
"The performance of the solution could improve. When I compare the speed it is slower than others on the market. There are some tricks we use to help speed up the solution.""One of the challenges I have with AppSpider is that it gives you a lot of false positives, especially when compared to other solutions.""The dashboard and interface are crucial and they need some improvement.""Support response times are slow and can be improved.""The enterprise interface is too simple. It should be more customizable.""It needs better integration with mobile applications.""The product needs to be able to scale for large companies, like ours. We have millions of IP addresses that need to be scanned, and the scalability is not great.""Integration could be better."

"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better.""I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes.""Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
