    MobSF is good for checking for vulnerabilities in your app. It will also give suggestions on how to address them. Another thing is can do is find code that may be incorrect. It is not, however, a substitute for a system that actually checks your code for proper use. It really is concentrated on security.

    It is best suited for runtime application security scanning and very useful for automation. You can seemlessly integrate with pipeline for dynamic scans. Cloud based apps can also be scanned for vulnerabilities, cross site scripting attacks. Basically all OWASP TOP 10. It is less appropriate to use if you have serverless architecture

    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.

    In my opinion, MobSF is not as comprehensive as SonarQube. Both, however, do a very good job in scanning your code for vulnerabilities. Both do roughly the same things. The reports of SonarQube are more detailed though. The advantage that MobSF has over SonarQube is the price. One is free while the other is a paid solution (with several tiers). However, we use them together to get a more comprehensive scan.

    Fortify Application Defender is a little more timely and upfront with a lot of their information on cyber security. we like what they provide and how they communicate with our users. I think they have a good understanding and practice in their field. they seem best suited for us and the best fit.

    • It has allowed our apps to pass a security vetting requirement of a third party to deploy our app
    • We can see where we can improve on the development of our app
    • The deployment can take a while, especially with teams not familiar with the software
