Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) vs. Cenzic Hailstorm / App Scanner (discontinued)

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.

This scanner is helpful for financial services apps that need to prove their credibility to users, and in an environment where users might not be comfortable providing their PII.

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.

These products are similar in nature. They all tend to do the same thing, in a similar way. Just need to watch for integration problems and consumer trust issues.

• 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
