Helps to check multiple websites, particularly dynamic and e-commerce websites, for vulnerabilities within the code

In Rapid7 InsightAppSec, a distinctive feature is the provision of a CDM for integrating web servers and web applications. To establish the connection between these applications, you only need to paste the provided CDN into your metadata. Once connected, every piece of information, including vulnerabilities, can be accessed. It also offers demo sessions. If there is any malicious network traffic targeting a specific web application, it is designed to detect and showcase the entire scenario. It provides insights into potential vulnerabilities, including issues related to process scripting or content security policy vulnerabilities. Setting up and configuring scans within the tool is easy, and I would rate it a nine out of ten. It provides videos on YouTube, along with documentation that breaks down the process into step-by-step instructions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When we try to manually exploit the vulnerabilities, it often takes time to realize what's going on and what needs to be done."

"The scanner is light on the network and does not impact the network when scans are running."

"Its ability to crawl a web application is quite different than another similar scanner."

"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."

"The solution generates reports automatically and quickly."

"I am impressed with Invictus’ proof-based scanning. The solution has reduced the incidence of false positive vulnerabilities. It has helped us reduce our time and focus on vulnerabilities."

"It has a comprehensive resulting mechanism. It is a one-stop solution for all your security testing mechanisms."

"The most attractive feature was the reporting review tool. The reporting review was very impressive and produced very fruitful reports."

More Invicti pros

"It's very easy to use and user-friendly. It does the job."

"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."

"In Rapid7 InsightAppSec, a distinctive feature is the provision of a CDM for integrating web servers and web applications. To establish the connection between these applications, you only need to paste the provided CDN into your metadata. Once connected, every piece of information, including vulnerabilities, can be accessed. It also offers demo sessions."

"The solution is stable."

"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."

"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."

"It is a very robust solution."

"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."

More Rapid7 InsightAppSec pros

Cons

"Netsparker doesn't provide the source code of the static application security testing."

"Right now, they are missing the static application security part, especially web application security."

"The higher level vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, and other higher level injection attacks are difficult to highlight using Netsparker."

"Maybe the ability to make a good reporting format is needed."

"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective. There are URL restrictions that consume our license. Compared to other DAST solutions and task tools like WebInspect and Burp Enterprise, Invicti is very expensive. The solution’s scanning time is also very long compared to other DAST tools. It might be due to proof-based scanning."

"Reporting should be improved. The reporting options should be made better for end-users. Currently, it is possible, but it's not the best. Being able to choose what I want to see in my reports rather than being given prefixed information would make my life easier. I had to depend on the API for getting the content that I wanted. If they could fix the reporting feature to make it more comprehensive and user-friendly, it would help a lot of end-users. Everything else was good about this product."

"The custom attack preparation screen might be improved."

"I think that it freezes without any specific reason at times. This needs to be looked into."

More Invicti cons

"Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages."

"They should add more features. I would like to see them do a little more on static analysis and also interactivity analysis. Currently, it does very basic static analysis. It could do a little more static analysis, which is something that would help. A lot more interactivity analysis should also be there. It should basically look at security during interactivity."

"The number of web applications we can scan is limited."

"The interface should be a little bit easier to manage. Sometimes, the logic that they use is kind of strange. They need to work a little bit more on their interface to make it more understandable. The interface is the only problem. I'm using Rapid7, which is very intuitive. There are other applications available in the market with a better interface. They can include more techniques or options to test different types of security because the templates are limited. It would be great to see them follow the MITRE ATT&CK framework or what is there in tools like Veracode and Synopsys."

"The product’s pricing could be flexible."

"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."

"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."

"I would like more details of what the product can do."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."

"Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."

"The price should be 20% lower"

"The solution is very expensive. It comes with a yearly subscription. We were paying 6000 dollars yearly for unlimited scans. We have three licenses; basic, business, and ultimate. We need ultimate because it has unlimited scan numbers."

"We are using an NFR license and I do not know the exact price of the NFR license. I think 20 FQDN for three years would cost around 35,000 US Dollars."

"Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."

"I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."

More Invicti pricing and cost advice

"They offer a good price, but I don't remember its cost. It is fair as compared to the competition. We have opted for project-based licensing, not user-based. We can add any number of users. That doesn't matter. It is worth the money."

"Its price is competitive. It is not expensive."

"Rapid7 InsightAppSec is cheap."

"I'm not sure how much it costs exactly, but I know it's expensive."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightAppSec’s pricing an eight out of ten."

"The price of this product is very cheap."
