Netsparker Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
My organization uses NetSparker for security scanning. It is used to verify that Java APIs are secure when grabbing data from external API databases. NetSparker is constantly run throughout internal applications and systems to ensure the safety of our data. This software has been used by our department for over 20 years.
Pros
- NetSparker has excellent customer service. When our team had to learn to use it for the first time, we had to communicate directly with NetSparker consultants.
- NetSparker is very user-friendly. It's UI is organized and keeps all the different scans we have set-up in a very clean visual.
- Netsparker has a selection of workflows and integration tools that make it useful for keeping all of my teammates on the same page.
Cons
- 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
NetSparker is well suited for companies that use a lot of external API calls and communicate a lot with external customers. When it comes to internal use, NetSparker does not seem like the most practical or most cost-efficient thing to use to detect security issues within a system the team is using.
