Chose HCL AppScan
We have been using AppScan for about 14 years (Before it was acquired by IBM). A few years ago we did an upgrade from the standard edition to the enterprise edition (to allow several users at once) in order to accommodate the growth of our team. Prior to this upgrade we looked …

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
