Consistent automation has improved deployments and supports efficient client-facing workflows
Deployment and other processes are feasible for me, making this a smooth process. The integration part is good. We can use multiple things by integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and this is very feasible for us. This allows us to do our work easily. The productivity is very good. CloudBees is a good and efficient tool. We can work in client-facing scenarios, and since clients have provided these types of tools, we are able to work on them effectively.

Enhancements in manual testing align with reporting and integration features
WebInspect works efficiently with Java-based or .NET based applications. However, it struggles with Salesforce applications, where it requires approximately 20-24 hours to crawl and audit but produces minimal findings, necessitating manual verification. The solution offers customization features for crawling and vulnerability detection. It includes various security frameworks and allows selection of specific vulnerability types to audit, such as OWASP Top 10 or JavaScript-based vulnerabilities. When working with APIs, we can select OWASP API Top 10. The tool also supports custom audit features by combining different security frameworks. For on-premises deployment, the setup is complex, particularly regarding SQL server configuration. Unlike Burp Suite or OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing, which have simpler setup processes, WebInspect requires SQL server setup to function.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its flexibility."
"The security audit product offered by CloudBees is particularly beneficial in automating audit processes, which reduces the time developers spend on audits."
"I find the automation feature most valuable. CloudBees is highly scalable and supports both small and large teams. The deployment process is also faster when compared to on-premise."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly."
"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."
"With it, you get a centralized board, you have a management view, enroll management and access management, everything is there."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"The product is a good option for enterprise-level organizations."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"The FPA and Audit Workbench are very helpful for me, and when we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities, with very detailed examples for each vulnerability, so it is very good for users and beginners and doesn't take a lot of time to understand the tool."
"Guided Scan option allows us to easily scan and share reports."
 

Cons

"I think a preview of the errors would be good just at the point where the error occurs."
"We've noticed occasional issues with folder permissions changing unexpectedly. Specifically, permissions sometimes shift from the CloudBees user to the root user. This can cause pipeline failures, as pipelines require the correct CloudBees user permissions to execute properly."
"I noticed that CloudBees runs too slowly because some applications run more than 50 pipelines."
"If you're logged in and working for about thirty minutes and then go idle for five to ten minutes, Jenkins will prompt you to re-authenticate."
"When I started with CloudBees, I found the configuration at the CD level to be quite challenging when creating end-to-end orchestration or release execution flows."
"There could be improvements in the ease of use."
"For CloudBees, I can suggest that the log is very high, which is very hectic for us when trying to find which error is coming."
"The setup is somewhat complicated. You need a cloud architect and engineer to set it up properly. The initial setup will take time, so you need a good engineer and architect to handle it."
"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"The price is okay."
