OWASP Zap Initial Setup

The setup is simple and straightforward, depending on your level of knowledge. Portswigger Burp may be a bit easier. However, both are straightforward. This is not complex to implement. It also doesn't take long to deploy.

If you can download it in five minutes, you can have it set up in seven minutes.

The initial setup is very simple, you just need to have a Java file. Deployment takes a maximum of 10 minutes and is carried out in-house. There's no real maintenance involved.

I set up OWASP Zap on my laptop. It is very easy and simple for me.

I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up. 

It took me less than an hour to setup.

The installation and integration are easy. It's not challenging. The implementation was done in different phases. Our customers took a few days to install the solution. They needed two engineers to install it. We do not have any problem in maintaining the tool. It is deployed on the cloud.

I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten since it is easy. The server is easily deployed because it's an open-source and free solution. I think it's very easy to install on every computer authorized to use it.

The initial setup is not necessarily straightforward. Most are complex. You need a senior person to specialize, understand the set up in which they are running, and understand the tools they are going to use. You need to ask: do they know what to look for and support? I wouldn't say it's complex to use. That said, normally the resources are costly.

The initial setup is a bit complex, not straightforward. It could be made easy if, lets say, a project can be defined for a certain task through the project's creation. This may simplify its use.

If you're talking about Kali, which is the Linux Pentesting operating system, it comes built in. The only thing you have to do is update it from time to time and you can automate that with like a cron or a script. With Windows you have to download it manually, install it manually and check for updates.

The installation is very simple. It's just an executable file because for now, we are not using it as a part of CACD or anything else. We have just installed the open source version on the laptop which has simplified things; our toolbox opens up and we just give the URL and it does an automatic scan. So information wise and operational wise, it is easy now. Our team carried out the deployment by first reading, watching videos and taking various courses. We had help from the company security team.

The initial setup was straightforward. We didn't have to do much. There was an easy to follow guide online and there was not much to do other than to follow a straightforward tutorial. Deployment took around an hour.

The initial setup wasn't very complex. You're supposed to install a JDK, Java file. I think implementation took about an hour. There are seven people in the company using the solution and maybe in the coming days there will be more.

We found the initial setup to be very straightforward. It's easy. It's not complex. A company shouldn't have any issues with the implementation process.

The deployment only took half an hour. It wasn't more than that. The process is pretty fast.

YOu do not need a big team to handle the deployment process. We only used two.

Using the API was initially difficult to set-up, not because the API was difficult, but working out the incantations that needed to be sent. You can see these in my code.

The initial setup was straightforward. For me, I just had to press "Next" several times. Between the installation, downloading videos, and investigating how to deploy it, I would say that the process took roughly a day.
