Sometimes, it is slow; when we are running this application and browsing other applications concurrently, it makes other applications work slow.

Maybe supported clients can be improved. It still does not search vulnerabilities in DB2 databases, for example.

It is a good tool, as we found out with the Community Edition trial, but the price point is quite expensive for a startup or average-sized company.

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

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

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