We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution helped us to improve the code quality of our organization.""Its ability to find security defects is valuable.""The product saves us cost and time.""Fortify Application Defender's most valuable features are machine learning algorithms, real-time remediation, and automatic vulnerability notifications.""The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically feed it rules what it's coupled with the WebInspect dynamic application scanning technology.""The information from Fortify Application Defender on how to fix and solve issues is very good compared to other solutions.""We are able to provide out customers with a secure application after development. They are no longer left wondering if they are vulnerable to different threats within the market following deployment.""The tool's most valuable feature is software composition analysis. This feature works well with my .NET applications, providing a better understanding of library vulnerabilities."

More Fortify Application Defender Pros →

"The dashboard is really cool, and the features are really good. It tells you about the software version you're using in your web application. It gives you the entire technology stack, and that really helps. Both web and desktop apps are good in terms of application scanning. It has a lot of security checks that are easily customizable as per your requirements. It also has good customer support.""It correctly parses DOM and JS and has really good support for URL Rewrite rules, which is important for today's websites.""Attacking feature: Actually, attacking is not a solo feature. It contains many attack engines, Hawk, and many properties. But Netsparker's attacking mechanism is very flexible. This increases the vulnerability detection rate. Also, Netsparker made the Hawk for real-time interactive command-line-based exploit testing. It's very valuable for a vulnerability scanner.""The scanner and the result generator are valuable features for us.""Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them.""The best features of Invicti are its ability to confirm access vulnerabilities, SSL injection vulnerabilities, and its connectors to other security tools.""The scanner is light on the network and does not impact the network when scans are running.""I like that it's stable and technical support is great."

Cons
"Fortify Application Defender gives a lot of false positives.""Fortify Application Defender could improve by supporting more code languages, such as GRAAS and Groovy.""The solution could improve the time it takes to scan. When comparing it to SonarQube it does it in minutes while in Fortify Application Defender it can take hours.""The solution is quite expensive.""I encountered many false positives for Python applications.""Support for older compilers/IDEs is lacking.""The false positive rate should be lower.""The licensing can be a little complex."

More Fortify Application Defender Cons →

"The proxy review, the use report views, the current use tool and the subset requests need some improvement. It was hard to understand how to use them.""The higher level vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, and other higher level injection attacks are difficult to highlight using Netsparker.""The solution's false positive analysis and vulnerability analysis libraries could be improved.""Asset scanning could be better. Once, it couldn't scan assets, and the issue was strange. The price doesn't fit the budget of small and medium-sized businesses.""Netsparker doesn't provide the source code of the static application security testing.""The solution needs to make a more specific report.""The scanner itself should be improved because it is a little bit slow.""The support's response time could be faster since we are in different time zones."
