Fortify by OpenText vs. Rapid7 AppSpider

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

Rapid7 AppSpider could be your default DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), it covers the OWASP top 10 for web and APIs. Great tools, with a very nice and understandable report and analytics, work excellent for one-shot or continuous monitoring of your web assets. Also has a fair amount of integrations with other popular tools.

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.
