"Valuable solution for Web Application Scanning"

5/5

What do you like best about Invicti?

The product is highly reliable, easy to use and the support is stellar! I have been using Netsparker for over 4 years and this solution has helped secure our web applications in ways I have not seen before. When I run into a question, concern or issue, the Netsparker support team are the best at providing top notch support buy meeting my time constraints, detailing any issue and ensuring I understand the product and outcomes before closing the ticket. I have used the desktop version of the product and have recently transitioned to the cloud-based solution... which I love! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Invicti?

There is absolutely nothing I dislike... I wish I had the creative mind to develop this product! Brilliant! The only part I do not like about this product is I do not think it scales well with cost, but that is something the Netsparker team has been working with me on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Invicti:

I would recommend this to anyone needing to assess web applications. There is nothing that compares to this product in this space. The product is easy for a beginner and advanced enough for an expert to craft some intelligent scans. I am looking forward to integrating this solution into other areas of my security infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problems solved were those that I simply did not have the time to find. Being a small security department, Netsparker has helped me easily find issues, report on them in a manner the developers can understand and see and doing this all in a semi-automated process.
