The initial setup is highly simple. The installation is on Microsoft Windows only and the solution needs to be downloaded from the vendor's website. There are other services that you cannot use together with this solution causing some conflict, you then have to remove some services.

The setup was good. It's just a simple installation and it's really easy. Once it is installed, it offers a nice and simple approach to setting up your first scan. And if you want to go deeper, it provides you with a form which asks you about how it should be configured.

If you select all the details, it takes you deeper into the configuration options, and if you choose to go the simple route, then it's just a matter of a quick form to fill in. It's a good, straightforward approach, in my opinion, and I would give it a rating of four out of five for ease of setup.

The initial setup is straightforward, and it takes a couple of minutes. It's quite easy, you just need to put in the key, and then you can progress with installing the scan engine.

Moreover, you're not only limited to the cloud, but you have the option to install a local scan engine. So we have both on-prem and cloud-based versions with our customers.

When it comes to maintenance, at least two people are needed. One person to conduct scans and an additional person to monitor the end-to-end process. After conducting scans, the results are sent to the developer for analysis and discussion. It is possible for different interpretations of the scan results to occur, which can lead to varying outcomes. This aspect of technical analytics is a separate segment from the maintenance process. The maintenance team typically consists of administrators.

The initial setup of this solution is not complex, and it is easy to implement.

We needed to install the virtual machine and the virtual service, which is recommended by Rapid7. The deployment took approximately one week. After this, integration all of our applications took approximately one month.

Two people are required for maintenance. There is me, and then my backup when I am not available.

To do the installation and initial setup is easy, I think. To use the app is where you need to have an expert in using the product. Even though I have had some experience with AppSpider and I do presentations, I think I still need more time to explore the product to understand it better. 

The initial setup isn't too complex. It's fairly typical. However, when you need some authentification on the page, it could get difficult. Therefore, it's best if you have someone on the team that's familiar with the installation process.

The initial deployment is very straightforward and simple, but there are some things you have to understand when you use the cloud version. You need to scan or protect any other text such as the post information so that you can continue to deliver using that title.

It takes about a day to deploy.

The setup is usually straightforward.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. If the user has a Windows machine then they just download the file and press Next several times. That's it. The deployment will take perhaps 20 minutes, although if there are network issues then it might take up to an hour.

We deploy AppSpider on a laptop and it is easier that way because you can take it in and out of the domain. You can connect with the web apps where they are.
