## Detectify Reviews
  ### 1. Great tool for web-app security

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul E. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2024

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

It is very comprehensive with lots of features to test security and can be automated and tailoured easily to your needs.  It has excellent documentation on how best to fix any detected problems.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

It is automated so can't offer the insights a human tester might do. It can be expensive if you want to test multiple sites. It can be complex to set up initially.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It quickly identifies issues with web site security with detailed feedback. This is crucial in my business as we handle a lot of customer data, so having the peace of mind that there is a regular automated scan is great.

  ### 2. Very happy from an admin/IT security manager view

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Björn L. | Head of IT and IT Security, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2023

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

Customer success team have been very helpful for us to get started. That meant a lot to get us started and really offloading our internal teams. The UI is very intuitive and easy to view  (we don't yet use the API), reports are good. Also was easy to setup stuff like automated login for the scanner, SSO for users etc. We also use tagging a lot.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

Not much bad to say about it really, but also I'm not the dev triaging it. More follow up reports and progress as a IT Security manager.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Offloading internal teams. Very easy to setup and maintain, which of course was the purpose of why were looking for a hosted scanner. Thanks to Detectify our dev teams have a natural way to triage security findings on a regular basis.

  ### 3. Vulnerability scans made easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arkadiusz K. | IT Project Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

Automated approach to testing vulnerabilities which saves a lot of time for the team. No need to track all dependencies manually.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

Pricing has become complicated and is not competitive for small site scans.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We don't have to track updates and vulnerabilities for all dependencies and libraries in the repository.

  ### 4. Tool makes my day to day work easier

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matheus W. | Security Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

From the discoveries of new subjects, and for the ease of use, I also really like the integration of notifications, and detailing the vulnerabilities and how to perform their corrections.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

It can improve the indicators, of how we are and what we have improved or worsened on top of each scanner, the score is sometimes not enough. I believe I could have a page with only this data.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The tool is helping me to discover DNS that the security team is not aware of, helping us to find risks to our environment with a very good speed. We can't see each other anymore without using the tool.

**Official Response from Detectify Team:**

> Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to have you as a customer and are happy to hear Detectify delivers value for you.

  ### 5. Detectify is awesome

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Filipe M. | Senior Information Security Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

I like how I can rely on Detectify to understand my company's attack surface, subdomains and vulnerabilities. Even after one year of use, there is still a lot of work to do there, and some security bugs that appear out of nothing, we use Detectify to check if it was already mapped. This helps a lot in everyday tasks.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

Being from a country with a currency not much valorized, the price is something that we struggled with to get the tool, but it is just that. Besides currency, there is nothing to complain about. ^^

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a Cyber Security Engineer, with Detectify I can map the attacking surface, detect and validate the findings with rare false positives and reduce the risk of being attacked in the company where I work.

  ### 6. Impressed so far after a few days of usage

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

What most stood out to me was how easy it was to generate rich, insightful reports, even with no prior knowledge of how the tool worked. I was able to build reports in minutes that I expected to take hours.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

In terms of dislikes, nothing immediate comes to mind. I suppose one thing that may be relevant is that the tool seemed intimidating / non-intuitive to me for the first few moments when I used it, but then again that's not really a big deal.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Compliance related to security and auditing our systems. The best benefit I have realized so far is the generation of reports in a short amount of time that enable us to pass compliance checks.

**Official Response from Detectify Team:**

> Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to have you as a customer and are happy to hear Detectify delivers value for you.

  ### 7. Just what we were looking for

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Manuel V. | Project Manager - Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2021

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

We were looking for an easy-to-use scanning tool that will allow us to check and audit our sites. We had tried Qualys and Intruder.io and both of those tools take forever to configure and it should not take that time. Detectify is super easy to use. One email and we were working. The Chrome add-on for the login credentials is a great plus. Scanning for vulnerabilities and the reports are excellent.  Furthermore, it takes absolutely no time to get it configured.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

The UI interface is simple, but sometimes it is a little bit confusing when browsing from and to the scan results. Sometimes it is not clear if a scan is running because you do not have any indication that the scan is going on. You can only see that on the Scan page. When a vulnerability is fixed, the system does not recognize this in the following scan. It keeps it in history.

**Recommendations to others considering Detectify:**

If you need an easy-to-use and configure tool for scanning, this is your tool. You will be working and fixing things in no time. We started using this tool thanks to an online review, and we did not have high hopes, but it has been quite reliable and great to use.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We required an easy-to-use tool so we could check our sites for vulnerabilities. Detectify has proven perfect. Deep scan is really reliable and it has helped us fix some medium and minor risks we had. We will continue using Detectify because it is the perfect tool for the job we wanted to do.

  ### 8. Detectify Deep Scan review - very positive

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Gambling & Casinos | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

The ease of use with complete results. It's fairly easy to setup detectify and get it up and running, the output from scans is easily reviewed and managed.
The price is very fair for a good product. The product by Detectify manages to meet a lot of the needs from software development companies.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

False positives can return even when marked as false positives which can be overwhelming.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With Detectify holding multiple brand-certifications their product qualifies to meet the requirements upon our company and the certifications and licenses we operate under.

  ### 9. Does the job

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

simplified format to get a visibility of web app vulnerabilities

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

not much additional context to help understand why a vulnerability is a vulnerability. Would be great to see something like what they do in snyk where it shows if a vulnerability is exploitable

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

no business problems just helps us meet compliance requirements

**Official Response from Detectify Team:**

> Thank you for feedback! We’d like to better understand where and how we can help. To ensure you can get the maximum value out of Detectify, please reach out to us at support@detectify.com.

  ### 10. The importance of scanning

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2022

**What do you like best about Detectify?**

The hands-free, passive scanning and weekly reports delivered right to my email.

**What do you dislike about Detectify?**

At times, looking at remediation documentation can be troublesome.

**What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Detectify is doing the job of 2-3 people easily with the constant risk and violation detections.  This is good automation.

**Official Response from Detectify Team:**

> Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to have you as a customer and are happy to hear Detectify delivers value for you.
