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

"CloudBees's user interface is very simple and user-friendly."
"CloudBees is a user-friendly tool."
"CloudBees is a good and efficient tool."
"CloudBees updates its features frequently, so if we need something like SSL login, they enable it."
"One recent product feature that stands out is the pipeline explorer, which is providing significant value for us right now."
"It can manage multiple Jenkins instances."
"Scalability largely depends on how the tool is set up within your infrastructure"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its GUI is quite simple."
"The product is a good option for enterprise-level organizations."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"It is a good product, comparable to AppScan, quite scalable, and offers good cost/value with the support and backing from Micro Focus."
"The feature that has been most influential in identifying vulnerabilities is its ability to crawl the website, understand the structure, and analyze the network packets sent and received."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"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."
"There could be improvements in the ease of use."
"One challenge I'd like to highlight is that with CloudBees CI growing bigger and bigger, there are limitations in terms of managing old plugins and services and upgrading them with time."
"The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times."
"Improvements in resolution time may vary since every environment has different needs."
"To use the tool, you need to be familiar with the tool itself and with how it will be incorporated into the culture."
"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."
"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."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"The main area for improvement in Fortify WebInspect is the price, as it is too high compared to the market rate."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"The first time we ran the module, it was okay, however, the next time we ran it, it almost crashed."
"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."
"The initial setup was complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"This solution is very expensive."
"The price is okay."
"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."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
