Find out in this report how the two Static Application Security Testing (SAST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product helps users to scan and fix vulnerabilities in the pipeline."
"The ZAP scan and code crawler are valuable features."
"Automatic scanning is a valuable feature and very easy to use."
"They offer free access to some other tools."
"The product discovers more vulnerabilities compared to other tools."
"It has improved my organization with faster security tests."
"Automatic updates and pull request analysis."
"You can run it against multiple targets."
"It works with many different products."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The vulnerability management feature is a strong one. And also the patch management feature."
"The interface is user-friendly and easy to understand."
"It is a good product for website penetration testing to detect vulnerabilities."
"It is a cloud-based solution, so it is easy to scale."
"Its most valuable features are patch management, vulnerability management, and PCI compliance."
"With our vulnerabilities under control, it's putting our services in compliance and minimizing our risk for exposure."
"Too many false positives; test reports could be improved."
"The automated vulnerability assessments that the application performs needs to be simplified as well as diversified."
"The solution is somewhat unreliable because after we get the finding, we have to manually verify each of its findings to see whether it's a false positive or a true finding, and it takes time."
"The product reporting could be improved."
"The reporting feature could be more descriptive."
"The ability to search the internet for other use cases and to use the solution to make applications more secure should be addressed."

"The support could be faster."
"When comparing this solution to Veracode, Veracode has good interactive features and gives a clear understanding of what the vulnerabilities are, which error line of the vulnerability is on and what can be done. It gives interactive features, whereas this solution does not give a clear understanding of where or how to fix the problem."
"The virus code updates are not frequent enough."
"There should be better visibility into the application."
"The UI is not user-friendly and you don't have a yearly reporting facility where you can slice and dice in different jobs."
"The area of false positives could be improved. There are quite a number of false positives as compared to other solutions. They could probably fine tune the algorithm to be able to reduce the number of false positives being detected."
"The solution needs to adjust its pricing. They should make it more affordable."
