Principal Technical Consultant at EOH

Comprehensive vulnerability analysis and customization features with decent pricing

Software Security Center is highly customizable and helps me test all vulnerability data against the latest conventions like OWASP Top Ten, CVE Top twenty-five, and several other legal compliances. WebInspect supports a number of APIs and web endpoints. I find its feature of macro recording allows for testing vulnerabilities during multi-factor authentication sessions very valuable. I appreciate the ability to further analyze data with tools like Audit Workbench.

Nghiêm Phương

CEO at SMOne

A solution for static code review and Blackhawk testing.

We have automation capabilities with Parasoft Jtest integrated into our CI/CD pipeline. This allows us to provide suggestions for improving code quality within the CI/CD process, which developers find beneficial, similar to using Cisco products. Parasoft Jtest is more than just a tool for scanning code. It offers comprehensive automated testing capabilities. It automatically scans the code on the server and generates reports for developers and project managers. They can then review the findings remotely and collaborate on addressing any issues identified. Parasoft Jtest connects to OpenAI, suggesting how to fix the code. I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
