Invicti vs. Fortify by OpenText

Netsparker is very thorough but can take a very long time to scan a web application. It can also take a long time to learn and configure. Its thoroughness is a very good part of the product but if the application does [not] need this thoroughness it is probably a waste of time to run Netsparker on the website.

I think Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect could fit really any organization well that needs to perform static code analysis on their applications (they do have dynamic scanning but I don't have any experience using it). Different static analysis tools scan code differently, Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect requires you to provide a full build of the application to be submitted with debugging files which could be easy or hard depending on how your organization is building it's apps.

• Netsparker is a product that many security companies use to scan their clients websites. This means it has good reputation and we can use that reputation when we show our Netsparker scan to our clients.
• Netsparker is very customizable and allows us to reduce the scan time by making sure we do not spend time scanning technologies that are not being used in the application. Once a set of customizations are configured they can be applied to similar types of applications. This allows us to quickly setup a vulnerability scan of new applications.
• Netsparker includes numerous vulnerability points to test for. This means that sometimes thousands of possible vulnerabilities are tested. Other scanners to do not always scan for all of these types of vulnerabilities.

• NetSparker does not integrate with all systems. Currently, it is limited to popular systems, using Java for example.
• NetSparker is priced at a higher range. I believe with all its competition, the pricing could be a little better.
• NerSparker could improve its user experience. There should be a way to find out if a system has vulnerabilities directly through e-mail.

Incentivized

• It should focus on microservices and develop features
• Performance need to be improved
• Multiple apps should be easy to scan in parallel thus saving time

Since every firm needs to perform static code analysis on their applications, I believe Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect would work well for them (they also offer dynamic scanning, although I haven't used it myself). Different static analysis tools scan code in different ways, and Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect asks you to submit a complete build of the application along with debugging files. Depending on how your company builds its apps, this requirement may be simple or challenging.

It is a cloud-based platform which can provide us a very useful and unique features like Application Assessment, Scans, Vulnerability Test, Comprehensive Reporting, Monitoring, etc. Fortify by Open Text is also outstanding in various parameters for the support and integration and it is highly adaptable in various DevOps Program where you need secure app testing with all given features.

NetSparker support is amazing. When first introducing this software to the team, there was a lot of communication going on between Netsparker consultants and our team. They have answered our questions very efficiently and have had consultants come to our department for training. They are open to suggestions for improvements and enhancements as well.

Always receive excellent support from the vendor. No issues there.

Our department used to use Veracode as our security scanning software. Compared to Veracode, Netsparker has a very organized dashboard with built-in tools that making collaborating with other teammates very efficient and easy. Another teammate can definitely take over the work I am doing in NetSparker with minimal explanation.

Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect is better when it comes to speed, integration and detection capabilities as compared to Insight Appsec. What I loved the most is the broad coverage of vulnerabilities it identified as against Insight Appsec. Apart from detection capabilities the time taken is also less compared to Insight Appsec. Given the performance of Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect I would strongly recommend to everyone looking for DevSecOps and application security solutions
