Standardized releases have reduced errors and now streamline our cloud resource management
To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved. For example, I have a plan phase before my build phase, and sometimes the toggle button is hidden. I have to toggle it before the step can be executed, or it will be skipped. Many people who did not use Digital.ai Release before do not even know there is a toggle button, and the first time when they run into that phase, they will definitely skip that step. Regarding needed improvements, I did not do extensive reading on documentation or training material directly from Digital.ai Release. My knowledge comes from the team who has been using it. However, I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.

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

"Overall, it's been a good experience."
"Digital.ai Release offers the best features such as good integration between multiple tools and flexible options for usage; while I have not configured the template myself, I use existing templates and find that anything can be accomplished using the workflows and integrations."
"The orchestration, building the release, and then just executing it and managing that pipeline — the orchestration capabilities are great for that."
"The solution can apply one template across multiple applications."
"Involving both infrastructure and application teams in the same pipeline has genuinely helped my process, as we have one specific person starting the pipeline, another approving it, and another coordinating as DevOps or monitoring all processes from the infrastructure side, providing excellent assistance because we have different and clearly separated responsibilities."
"Overall, I would give Digital.ai Release a rating of nine out of ten; there's always room for improvement, but it's really good."
"Since using Digital.ai Release, one of the benefits is standardizing the way I release to my Azure environment, which in the long term will help me reduce costs and improve efficiency."
"Since using Digital.ai Release, time has been saved, money has been saved, and staffing requirements have been reduced."
"It is easy to use, and its reporting is fairly simple."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"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."
"It is a good product, comparable to AppScan, quite scalable, and offers good cost/value with the support and backing from Micro Focus."
"The transaction recorder within WebInspect is easy to use, which is valuable for our team."
 

Cons

"To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"One improvement for Digital.ai Release could be to simplify the user interface for beginners."
"The backfill could be improved, we could automate that. Right now it's subjective — it's up to the lead developer's memory to remember to backfill."
"I feel that it could be more user-friendly, as the UI feels a bit old and not very appealing."
"I would like to improve Digital.ai Release by exploring its cloud capabilities as we are currently in the middle of migrating to the cloud, but I actually have no idea what Digital.ai's cloud capabilities are."
"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
"Digital.ai Release could improve by having a better plugin that works with Guardian that we use for mainframe migrations. If there could be an interface or plugin for Guardian that would be beneficial."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"I want to enhance automation. Currently, Fortify WebInspect can scan and find vulnerabilities, but users with specific skills need to interpret the results and understand how to address them."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"The scanner could be better."
"This solution is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's license includes all features."
"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
"The price is okay."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"This solution is very expensive."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"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."
