    • AppScan works well in finding application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting and all of the OWASP top 10.
    • Flexible reporting allows us to generate executive reports for application owners as well as separate technical reports for developers and system engineers.
    • Technical reports include remediation information and cross reference CVSS scores
    • Because it maintains data on all repeated assessments it helps us to do trending and metrics on compliance

    • It can have a FAQ session in the Application itself.
    • It can recommend the fix for the error that occurred during the scan.
    • Like its storing multiple manuals explore, It should have the capability of storing multiple logins.

    Both solutions are decent, however, I had team members who had the experience working with HCL AppScan. Also, the product was priced nominally which suited our budget. Further, HCL AppScan's user community was bigger and many learning resources were freely available which helped junior peers learn quickly and eliminate any issues

    • There are countless implementations to accomplish the same thing, and so many configurations are required.
    • Even if you test it finished and find no vulnerabilities, there is no point if you just get the error screen.
    • Until now, I was worried about vulnerabilities and security in software development, but I think it was good to find the vulnerability problem quickly with HCL AppScan.
