Effective scanning of diverse file extensions with fast reporting and issue resolution
We develop software packages for clients, and these clients are mostly in the BFSI sector. The packages need to be scanned, and we engage Fortify WebInspect for this.  Customers typically perform their own application pen tests, but in some cases, we have engagements where customers want us to scan…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"The transaction recorder within WebInspect is easy to use, which is valuable for our team."
"The feature that has been most influential in identifying vulnerabilities is its ability to crawl the website, understand the structure, and analyze the network packets sent and received."
"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."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"Guided Scan option allows us to easily scan and share reports."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing pros
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price."
"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."
"It offers flexibility, macros, and features to reduce the effort required for authenticated sessions."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."
"The reporting part is the most valuable. It also has very good features. We use almost all of the features for different kinds of customers and needs."
"I have found the best features to be the performance and there are a lot of additional plugins available."
More PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional pros
 

Cons

"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"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."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing cons
"I would like to see the return of the spider mechanism instead of the crawling feature. Burp Suite's earlier version 1.7 had an excellent spider option, and it would be beneficial if Burp incorporated those features into the current version. The crawling techniques used in the current version are not as efficient as those used in earlier versions."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"We wish that the Spider feature would appear in the same shape that it does in previous versions."
"In the Professional version, we cannot link it with the CI/CD process."
"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."
"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."
"The Burp Collaborator needs improvement. There also needs to be improved integration."
"Integration is a big problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"The price is okay."
"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"This solution is very expensive."
"We are using the community version, which is free."
"PortSwigger is reasonably-priced. It's fair."
"It's a lower priced tool that we can rely on with good standard mechanisms."
"It is a cheap solution, but it may not be cheaper than other solutions."
"The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is an expensive solution."
"They should reduce the license cost a little bit. It is $400 per user, and it would be better if they could reduce the licensing fee."
"PortSwigger is a bit expensive."
