Rapid7 InsightAppSec Pros and Cons

The initial setup for us was easy enough. We didn't face too many issues. Deployment took maybe 30 minutes. It's quite quick and doesn't cause too much trouble at the outset.

It uses a signature-based method to check for problems with your code and will provide an alert if anything is found.

We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent.

The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great.

The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work. We found that we'd try to use widgets, but often getting them to work for us wasn't very clear. They need to be more user friendly or offer better instructions.

In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing.

I would like more details of what the product can do.

The interface should be a little bit easier to manage. Sometimes, the logic that they use is kind of strange. They need to work a little bit more on their interface to make it more understandable. The interface is the only problem. I'm using Rapid7, which is very intuitive. There are other applications available in the market with a better interface. They can include more techniques or options to test different types of security because the templates are limited. It would be great to see them follow the MITRE ATT&CK framework or what is there in tools like Veracode and Synopsys.
