Automated scanning has strengthened web application security and supports hybrid protection
A good scanning engine is what I appreciate about Invicti. When you want to find out the vulnerabilities within your web applications, Invicti has done a thorough job with respect to filtering out the vulnerabilities and identifying the risk factors with respect to the security modules within the solution. Invicti does have a segment of the solution which works on the automated scanning engine. As long as the license is active, the scanners that work within the solution are pretty effective. With respect to SAST and DAST, being a real-time scanning engine is one of the portfolios and one of the selling factors of the solution. Invicti is known to be a solution that works within the hybrid environment, be it cloud, on-premises, or a mix and match across multiple marketplaces. It does a thorough job. Most importantly, Invicti is a very good SAST and DAST solution that is very competitive in the market with respect to competitors. Invicti is a part of the Magic Quadrant with respect to Gartner's Magic Quadrant and has made a very good customer database and pipeline within the marketplace locally. With respect to security impacts in terms of support, Invicti is pretty much supportive. With respect to use cases or the POCs I have run on the solution, we have identified a couple of vulnerabilities and Invicti was able to trace them, detect, and quarantine the attacks.

Dedicated browser and repeater have improved my proxy testing and manual vulnerability checks
I'm hoping perhaps for something to make it easier, such as to define things where if a message or a response is such and such, automatically make a request that is such and such. Perhaps something like this because otherwise, nowadays we have to do it manually. Perhaps they can automate it a bit more. Perhaps they could add some automation to things, to see what we do manually, which it has the tools to do manually, and perhaps enable with a click of a button to do things automatically. I'm not too sure which, but I'm sure they can from a product management point of view, do things that we need to do two, three, or four steps manually regarding specific testing. For instance, we want to check something specific if it's this or if it's that. Perhaps to define it once and have it more automatic, perhaps.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is very professional, 10/10."
"The most valuable feature of Invicti is getting baseline scanning and incremental scan."
"Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them."
"We use simultaneous products, but I found this to be the best of the lot."
"Invicti's proactive scanning measures vulnerabilities each time we deploy or push code to a new environment."
"Invicti is a good product, and its API testing is also good."
"The platform is stable."
"Netsparker has done an awesome job with its crawler, as it has found all of the links (also thanks to its good DOM parser)."
"The solution helps to find different security issues, and it helps identify many, many security issues quickly, and that's what makes it such a useful tool."
"The extension that it provides with the community version for the skills mapping is excellent."
"This is by far the best application assessment tool I have used."
"The most valuable feature is Burp Collaborator."
"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit."
"This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives."
"Return on investment is good because it's a globally known product."
"One useful function is the ability to send requests to the repeater without making actual requests through the browser, allowing me to modify requests easily."
 

Cons

"Improvement could be made in the area of production."
"When scanning a large web-based application, it tends to process slow and takes a long time especially on crawling and attacking part."
"The scanner itself should be improved because it is a little bit slow."
"It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities."
"The scan performance can be improved upon."
"The solution needs to make a more specific report."
"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal."
"Sometimes, it is slow; when we are running this application and browsing other applications concurrently, it makes other applications work slow."
"Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."
"We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product."
"One thing that is not up to the mark in PortSwigger is web application testing. I found some issues with its performance and reporting. They should work on these and give us a better outcome."
"There are some memory issues, where the application runs out of memory and crashes."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"The professional edition of Burp Suite provides some automated pen-testing scripts to detect application vulnerabilities, like SQL injection, XSS, etc. However, this component is not extremely useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price should be 20% lower"
"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."
"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."
"It is competitive in the security market."
"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."
"PortSwigger is reasonably-priced. It's fair."
"PortSwigger is a bit expensive."
"Burp Suite is affordable."
"The platform's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable. We only need to pay for the annual subscription. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective and is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses."
"There is no setup cost and the cost of licensing is affordable."
