Trung Le Thanh - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy initial setup process, but reporting feature for web scanning tools need improvement
They should improve the solution's reporting for web scanning tools. Presently, there are many restrictions to accessing the reports. I have to pass some security tests. Despite this, sometimes I couldn't see any information. They should add more automated tools to demonstrate the possibility of hacks. Also, the tools should help us check the possibility of deploying the databases found before. Along with this, they should add more CRM-related features for better administration. In addition, there needs to be a tool for firewalls and vulnerability management. They should provide security assessments for applications and systems like firewalls, IPS, and web gateway.
Amit Beniwal - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplifies vulnerability discovery and has high quality support
There are areas for improvement with OWASP Zap, particularly in the alignment of vulnerabilities concerning CVSS scores. Sometimes, a vulnerability initially categorized as high severity may be reduced to medium or low over time after security patches are applied. This alignment with the present severity score and CVSS score could be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup process is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the SLA of Zero false-positives, less time of service development, validation of unlimited patched vulnerabilities, and several others."
"ImmuniWeb is stable."
"I like the fully automated continuous discovery run by ImmuniWeb in the background. We do not need to rerun the same tests or the same scanning against our resources. We need to supply our IP addresses, domain names, and significant resources with special domain names and URLs, and we need to do it only once. Then we always have an up-to-date picture. I also like the integration with our single sign-on system. We do not need to maintain a separate set of usernames or user accounts. We can plug this ImmuniWeb service into our authentication technology, enabling two-factor authentication. We have secure authentication right out of the box. The other important feature I like is the executive view. You can easily switch from a technical view to an executive view and have a helicopter view of the compliance status. We can see how much effort is required and our current status."
"ImmuniWeb boasts a robust vulnerability detection mechanism, formidable threat mitigation, and an efficient remediation process, incorporating automation techniques and ALM strategies. The solution is highly stable. The solution is scalable. Editing Key Points for Review "Review about ImmuniWeb" What is our primary use case? We use the solution when we face challenges and urgent attention is needed for complex cases from our clients. To address this, we collaborate with the middleware, internal, and client teams to analyze and sort through intricate logs concerning our business cybersecurity program. How has it helped my organization? The solution helped us with one of our clients in the New York area contacted us about a data breach. In response, we swiftly organized a case meeting involving our client, internal, and email customer support teams. Together, we conducted an incident response, facilitating offline assistance for proper planning and risk management processes. We delved into the details of the data breach, identified how it occurred, and collaborated to rectify the issue. The client expressed satisfaction with the resolution process. What is most valuable? ImmuniWeb boasts a robust vulnerability detection mechanism, formidable threat mitigation, and an efficient remediation process, incorporating automation techniques and ALM strategies. It also focuses on consumer satisfaction and operates in English-speaking markets, primarily required by the UAE, the United States, Canada, and Australia, among other developed countries. For how long have I used the solution? We have been using this product for the past one and half years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution is highly stable. I rate it a perfect ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution is scalable. I rate it a nine out of ten. How are customer service and support? Support is generally excellent"
"After the assessment, you clearly know which assets require penetration testing."
"The solution's most valuable feature is reporting."
"Fuzzer and Java APIs help a lot with our custom needs."
"Simple and easy to learn and master."
"The vulnerabilities that it finds, because the primary goal is to secure applications and websites."
"The OWASP's tool is free of cost, which gives it a great advantage, especially for smaller companies to make use of the tool."
"Automatic scanning is a valuable feature and very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is scanning the URL to drill down all the different sites."
"​It has improved my organization with faster security tests.​"
"We use the solution for security testing."
 

Cons

"The deployment process on the cloud is straightforward, while on-premise can be complex. Support is generally excellent, although there can be delays in ticket resolution."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The product’s interface for the web applications could be similar to Android and iOS versions."
"ImmuniWeb sometimes shows previous scans instead of running tests."
"A great idea would be to support using Discovery on the internal network, allowing delivery of all the features of the current Discovery to internal network resources."
"It would be better if they had an automated tagging feature. The tagging functionality currently requires manual tagging, and that's probably the most needed feature from my standpoint. We also do not have enough tools, enough features, or options to display different resources in the way we need. There are basic grouping and some filtering features, but we still cannot fully separate some flavors of our resources. However, we may not be aware of the latest features."
"A great idea would be to make a mobile application for the ImmuniWeb portal so that all information would be available on the go and from a mobile phone as well. It would be much more convenient."
"The documentation is lacking and out-of-date, it really needs more love."
"It doesn't run on absolutely every operating system."
"The forced browse has been incorporated into the program and it is resource-intensive."
"It would be nice to have a solid SQL injection engine built into Zap."
"Lacks resources where users can internally access a learning module from the tool."
"It would be a great improvement if they could include a marketplace to add extra features to the tool."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the algorithm to provide better summaries of automatic scanning results."
"For scalability, I would rate OWASP Zap between four to five out of ten."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There should be the flexibility to change or add pricing, especially for pay-per-use cases."
"The values of ImmuniWeb are currently significantly below what is valued in the Chilean market for these services and solutions."
"I use the product's free version. The tool costs around 229 dollars."
"It is pretty expensive."
"The platform is expensive if a large development is involved. However, it is less expensive for scheduled-based testing, quarterly or in a year."
"It is pretty expensive."
"ImmuniWeb is relatively cheap. It's a competitive price compared to other products in the marketplace. It's worth the money we are paying for it."
"It's free and open, currently under the Apache 2 license. If ZAP does what you need it to do, selling a free solution is a very easy."
"This solution is open source and free."
"We have used the freeware version. I believe Zap only has freeware."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"This is an open-source solution and can be used free of charge."
"The tool is open source."
"The tool is open-source."
"It is open source, and we can scan freely."
