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.

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

"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."

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

"The accuracy of its scans is great."

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

"It is scalable and very easy to use."

"The solution is easy to use."

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

"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."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing pros

"The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."

"The product has a good learning hub."

"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."

"It helps in API testing, where manual intervention was previously necessary for each payload."

"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard. It is very informative and you can receive all the information you need in one place. It's clear, well-defined, and organized. Anybody without any cybersecurity can use it."

"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."

"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."

"The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional pros

Cons

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

"We have often encountered scanning errors."

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

"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."

"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."

"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."

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

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

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing cons

"The scanner and crawler need to be improved."

"I would like to see a more optimized solution, as it currently uses a lot of CPU power and memory."

"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."

"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."

"There were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it."

"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."

"One area that can be improved, when compared to alternative tools, is that they could provide different reporting options and in different formats like PDF or something like that."

"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"This solution is very expensive."

"It’s a fair price for the solution."

"The price is okay."

"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."

"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."

"Pricing is not very high. It was around $200."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution, which is neither cheap nor expensive."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is expensive compared to other tools."

"PortSwigger is a bit expensive."

"This solution requires a license. It is expensive but you receive a lot of functionality for the price."

"It is expensive for us in Brazil because the currency exchange rate from a dollar to a Brazilian Real is quite steep."

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective and is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses."

"Licensing costs are about $450/year for one use. For larger organizations, they're able to test against multiple applications while simultaneously others might have multiple versions of applications which needs to be tested which is why we have the enterprise edition."
