"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."
"Technical support has been good."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to download an application without actually putting in the APK. It gives us an option to put the APK in if we want to but we can download it from the App Store and Play Store."
"The scanner could be better."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."
"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."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"In this solution, there are two kinds of testing, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There needs some improvement in testing with dynamic analysis because I have found it is not accurate"
