"Excellent tool for Web application Vulnerability Scanning"
4/5

The tool UI has evolved a lot comparing the features it had 1 year ago. No issues to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good web vulnerability scanner"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Detectify?

Detectify's scanner works well. Crawling is good and it does a decent job at de-duplication. Most findings include good descriptions of the issue and related information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

Some report fillers are included in reports. Would be valuable with more configuration to ignore a certain finding on a certain set of pages (for the cases where their de-duplication fails to identify that an underlying page is the same) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DAST scanner with a slightly different approach"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Detectify?

When we evaluated the scanner we found it have crowdsourcing enabled as a part of the offering and the platform, which helped us get insights on vulnerabilities from other researchers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

I would have liked a little more storytelling on metrics and daashboards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our way to keep websites secure"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Detectify?

Schedule scans, so my websites keep secure. Easy way to configure a new site to the platform using a DNS record or textfile. Deep Scan results are very detailed and usefull for improvement, It even gives information for fixes of the security problems. You can start deepscans every moment you like. It provides rates to security issues which I can message to my clients so they can decide if they would fix the problem. The visual interface is straightforward to use without technical knowledge. During scans it shows the status on a very understandable (graphical) way, so you always know what the status of a scan is. If it keeps my client happy on a easy way, it keeps me happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

No auto detection for WordPress so it automatically detects old versions. I would suggest support for the most used frameworks like WordPress, Magento... That would help much people in their daily projects. Sometimes deep scans takes long (more then 4 hours) to complete, there may be some performance improvements possible.

"Useful for finding edge cases, although creates lots of junk accounts"
4/5
What do you like best about Detectify?

We were able to find some relatively obscure and more nit-picky vulnerabilities on our sites. It was easy to implement and easy to run tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

It did end up creating a long list of fake accounts in our system, along with a sizeable amount of other ugly data when authenticated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not totally confident in the results"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Detectify?

I like the email reports and the severity categories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

I was surprised to find that security headers are not checked and was told in a support ticket that this is a beta feature that we need to switch on. It seems that the speed of adding checks could be faster, and I thought I'd previously seen this being checked by Detectify. That has shaken my confidence a bit.

"Very intuitive and easy to configure and use web app security scanning solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Detectify?

Very easy to set up and configure. After our initial PoC, we could seamlessly continue to use Detectify. Possibility to perform authenticated scans with TOTP based multi-factor authentication (needs setup via support or customer success team).

Detectify was the only solution which besides the deep scan (general web app scanning) provides asset monitoring which autonomously scans your configured apex domains for issues without the need to configure all of your (many) subdomains. With other application scanners you would need a separate tool to perform this kind of "footprint monitoring".

Detectify was the only solution that uses a crowdsource community. All other scanner vendors create their rules only by themselves.

Very helpful and open team to address new features and functionality. Some features we requested were implemented a couple of weeks later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

API functionality is a little behind what the UI offers. This is only relevant if you want to use the API, for example for scripts.

At the moment no option to "work" on findings within the UI, such as leaving a comment for another colleague like a developer. For us this is not a real problem because we export all findings into a work item tracking tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detectify is a low-maintenance way to keep an eye on web security"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Detectify?

Getting notifications about security vulnerabilities is much easier than having to find them myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

It would be nice if recurring scans could automatically detect and remove vulnerabilities that have been resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
