The OWASP's tool is free of cost, which gives it a great advantage, especially for smaller companies to make use of the tool.
OWASP Zap offers exceptional API support with its Fuzzer and Java APIs, enabling faster security tests. Frequent updates ensure new vulnerabilities are quickly integrated. Automated scanning, scalability, and integration capabilities with tools like SonarQube enhance its utility. However, limited documentation, insufficient scanning depth, false positives, poor report customization, and suboptimal cloud CICD integration can impact usability. The HUD feature aids on-site testing, but manual verification remains necessary.
