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.

Cons

"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."

"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."

"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server."

"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."

"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."

"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."

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

"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."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing cons

"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."

"It's not a stable product. Sometimes, it takes a lot of time to scan."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."

"Scalability could be better."

"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."

"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."

"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a fair price for the solution."

"The price is okay."

"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."

"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."

"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."

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

"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable and costs around 400 dollars per year."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is neither a cheap nor an expensive product. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is a good tool for companies."

"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."
