"A Game-Changer for DevSecOps"

5/5

What do you like best about StackHawk?

I appreciate StackHawk for its comprehensive documentation, which is incredibly helpful for passing on to developers, ensuring everyone shares responsibility in writing scans. The speed and configurability of StackHawk's scanning capabilities are impressive; I can fine-tune the balance between cost and effective scan speed to suit our needs. StackHawk embodies a shift-left mentality, allowing us to identify issues earlier in the development cycle, thereby reducing technical debt and enhancing application security. The product is rich in features, and the support from the StackHawk team ensures the success of using the product. The scanning speed, previously a challenge with Tenable Nessus, has drastically improved since switching to StackHawk, especially with its configuration-as-code approach as opposed to a traditional web interface. Additionally, the initial setup was very quick and simple, making it easy to get started and integrate seamlessly with our existing tools like GitHub CodeQL and Jira for handling findings.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

The only improvement would be additional automation integration with results associating with a release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I use StackHawk for DAST and API scans, providing early pen testing results. It helps our team become aware of issues earlier, leading to less tech debt and better security. The fast, tunable scans and effective documentation enhance developer collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
