"Dynamic application security testing... or how I learned to stop worrying and love Netsparker"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Invicti?

Fantastic product, constantly evolving to keep up with changes in the web application security landscape. Designed specifically with zero false-positive reporting in mind, so you can focus on the things that really need attention. A superb company to work with, who treat large and small scale users with the same level of high quality service.

From a user experience point of view, the product is extremely mature and everything you need to know is neatly in its own panel. The reporting the product produces is excellent, as it covers all the key considerations:

* Problem

* Context

* Severity

* Solution

Not bad for a scanning engine! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Invicti?

Very little, if anything to dislike at all. I have been using their product since 2013 and have had no issues with it that haven't been resolved in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Invicti:

Definitely approach them for a trial. They are more than willing to provide you with one and also support your use of it during the trial.

An example of how responsive they are to issues:

Friday, September 15th 2017.

11:41 - Issue discovered and reported

15:21 - Hotfix delivered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have 150+ public facing web applications that we care about from a security perspective, as well as several hundred internal ones that also require our attention.

Netsparker's ease of use and powerful processing allows us to automate much of that work, with scan reports being sent directly to the teams responsible for the development of the software.

It saves a *lot* of time and helps make security a quality attribute of our software development lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easily control your own Web Security scans to identify vulnerabilities. "

5/5

SaaS model allows quick ramp up to get your scans going with little effort and nothing to install on site. Easily set up scans and set notifications.

What do you dislike about Invicti?

No native Slack plugin. Site logins and advanced debugging for long runtimes is less intuitive than the rest of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Invicti:

"Netsparker for small Software Development organizations"

4/5

What do you like best about Invicti?

Ease of use, as a small company having a qualified security expert is cost prohibited, with Netsparker has an intuitive interface that is easy to learn.

Netsparker is well adopted, my research reveled that it is used by many organizations.

Netsparker is very customizable and allows us to get as much or as little information as we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Invicti?

The documentation is geared towards security experts, more non security expert language would be beneficial .

The larger the number of items we have the longer it takes to scan, a quicker scan would be more time efficient.

For the most part it is easy to configure but some of the more sophisticated items are difficult to understand and implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Invicti:

Create documentation for users that are less knowledgeable of the security lingo.

Create an additional document that would help developers avoid some of the items that the product discovers. Providing this information would allow us to reduce the issues before the scan happens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our customers require us to provide "proof" that we have scan for and addressed any issues in our software, Netsparker gives us this ability.

With this tool our developers have learned about security risks that they need to keep in mind as they code the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Scanning lots of unusual applications"

4/5

What do you like best about Invicti?

I like the ability to manually enter additional sites into a scan. Some of the sites that i am scanning do not link from the main page so will not work using standard spider methods. Netsparker allows me to enter sites as a csv. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Invicti?

The fact that additional sites are limited to an amount. I have needed to split scans off into multiple because of this, although this may be as a protect of resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Invicti:

Give it a go using the free trial. It was really helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

As developers are releasing what the business would conciser significant changes to code much fast the previously standard annual pen-testing was no longer effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
