Dynamic testing regularly identifies web vulnerabilities and has strong false positive confirmations

It has good false positive confirmations, confirmed issues identification, and proof of exploit-related features as part of it. We use Invicti for these things in our portfolios. The solution includes Proof-Based Scanning technology. Invicti is part of our SSDLC portfolio, and DAST dynamic testing is very important for our web applications and portfolios. For both the API endpoints and web applications, we do regular testing on a monthly basis for all our releases. Invicti does a good job. The only concern is on the performance side, but other than that, we find it really helpful in identifying web vulnerabilities. A full scan takes more time based on your website and other factors, but for us, it takes more than two to three days. The scan performance can be improved upon. When we check with them, they discuss proof-based scanning and related aspects. However, there could be intermittent results that could help us.

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 has a comprehensive resulting mechanism. It is a one-stop solution for all your security testing mechanisms."

"Its ability to crawl a web application is quite different than another similar scanner."

"Invicti's proactive scanning measures vulnerabilities each time we deploy or push code to a new environment."

"One of the features I like about this program is the low number of false positives and the support it offers."

"I am impressed by the whole technology that they are using in this solution. It is really fast. When using netscan, the confirmation that it gives on the vulnerabilities is pretty cool. It is really easy to configure a scan in Netsparker Web Application Security Scanner. It is also really easy to deploy."

"I would rate the stability as ten out of ten."

"I am impressed with Invictus’ proof-based scanning. The solution has reduced the incidence of false positive vulnerabilities. It has helped us reduce our time and focus on vulnerabilities."

"Attacking feature: Actually, attacking is not a solo feature. It contains many attack engines, Hawk, and many properties. But Netsparker's attacking mechanism is very flexible. This increases the vulnerability detection rate. Also, Netsparker made the Hawk for real-time interactive command-line-based exploit testing. It's very valuable for a vulnerability scanner."

More Invicti pros

"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."

"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."

"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."

"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."

"The solution's technical support was very helpful."

"The transaction recorder within WebInspect is easy to use, which is valuable for our team."

"I'm sorry, but there is no review content provided to extract a quote from."

"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing pros

Cons

"Right now, they are missing the static application security part, especially web application security."

"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal."

"Currently, there is nothing I would like to improve."

"The proxy review, the use report views, the current use tool and the subset requests need some improvement. It was hard to understand how to use them."

"Netsparker doesn't provide the source code of the static application security testing."

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

"The scanning time, complexity, and authentication features of Invicti could be improved."

"Reporting should be improved. The reporting options should be made better for end-users. Currently, it is possible, but it's not the best. Being able to choose what I want to see in my reports rather than being given prefixed information would make my life easier. I had to depend on the API for getting the content that I wanted. If they could fix the reporting feature to make it more comprehensive and user-friendly, it would help a lot of end-users. Everything else was good about this product."

More Invicti cons

"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."

"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."

"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."

"I would like WebInspect's scanning capability to be quicker."

"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."

"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."

"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."

"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive. It comes with a yearly subscription. We were paying 6000 dollars yearly for unlimited scans. We have three licenses; basic, business, and ultimate. We need ultimate because it has unlimited scan numbers."

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."

"I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."

"Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."

"We are using an NFR license and I do not know the exact price of the NFR license. I think 20 FQDN for three years would cost around 35,000 US Dollars."

"Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."

"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."

"It is competitive in the security market."

More Invicti pricing and cost advice

"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."

"This solution is very expensive."

"The price is okay."

"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."

"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."

"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."
