Prominent pros & cons

PROS

Invicti excels in accurate vulnerability detection and confirmation, reducing false positives significantly.
Its ability to perform detailed crawling and sophisticated attacking increases the effectiveness in expanding the attack surface and vulnerability identification.
Reporting tools in Invicti are highly effective, providing detailed and actionable insights very quickly.
Integration capabilities with CI/CD pipelines enhance development processes and security protocols seamlessly.
Support for real-time command-line exploits and a flexible security testing approach are highly rated by users.

CONS

Invicti's reporting feature needs improvement to allow customized reports for end-users instead of prefixed information.
The licensing model is cost-prohibitive and restricts URL flexibility, posing a challenge for organizations scanning multiple domains.
The application scanning process is slow compared to competitors, and it struggles with large applications and different authentication scenarios.
Support for multi-factor authentication and more comprehensive documentation should be enhanced for better usability.
Asset scanning capabilities are unreliable, and Invicti is expensive, making it unsuitable for small and medium businesses.

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.

It correctly parses DOM and JS and has really good support for URL Rewrite rules, which is important for today's websites.

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.

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.

I am impressed by the whole technology that they are using in this solution. It is really fast. When using netscan, the confirmation that it gives on the vulnerabilities is pretty cool. It is really easy to configure a scan in Netsparker Web Application Security Scanner. It is also really easy to deploy.

They need to improve their support in the documentation. Their support mechanism is missing. Their responsiveness, technical staff, and these types of things need to be improved, and comprehensive documentation is required. They should have good self-service portal enhancement

The license could be better. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license. It's a major hindrance that we are facing while scanning applications, and we have to be sure that the URLs are the same and not different so that we do not end up consuming another license for it. Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. The licensing is tied to the URL, and it's restricted. If you have a URL that you scanned once, like a website, you cannot retry that same license. If you are scanning the same website but in a different domain or different URL, you might end up paying for a second license. It would also be better if they provided proper support for multi-factor authentications. In the next release, I would like them to include good multi-factor authentication support.

The scanner itself should be improved because it is a little bit slow.
Berk Onur - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities.

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

They don't really provide the proof of concept up to the level that we need in our organization. We are a consultancy firm, and we provide consultancy for the implementation and deployment solutions to our customers. When you run the scans and the scan is completed, it only shows the proof of exploit, which really doesn't work because the tool is running the scan and exploiting on the read-only form. You don't really know whether it is actually giving the proof of exploit. We cannot prove it manually to a customer that the exploit is genuine. It is really hard to perform it manually and prove it to the concerned development, remediation, and security teams. It is currently missing the static application security part of the application security, especially web application security. It would be really cool if they can integrate a SAS tool with their dynamic one.

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.
