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.
