"Keeping half a million candidate resumes locked down during platform updates"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HCL AppScan?

Running our candidate portal through HCL AppScan on Cloud takes the headache out of testing our external job application forms. It runs dynamic scans directly against our staging servers to spot vulnerabilities in the CV upload widgets before we push any new site updates live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL AppScan?

The static testing engine generates way too many false flags on the custom CSS and basic layout scripts our web agency built. I end up wasting my Friday afternoons manually clearing alerts that are just harmless formatting tags rather than actual security risks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HCL AppScan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Executive headhunting relies entirely on strict confidentiality, so making sure our database of salary expectations and private contact info is bulletproof is non-negotiable. Finding API flaws quietly in the background means we avoid explaining a massive resume leak to our top-tier corporate clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
