Read full review Pros AppScan works well in finding application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting and all of the OWASP top 10. 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 Read full review Unique expert knowledge of their target platforms. Not many companies have such a unique position in their target market. Their employees have a deep understanding of SharePoint, Office 365 and Azure and also regularly advise Microsoft on these matters. Community involvement and contribution to open source projects. Key employees at Rencore are considered thought leaders in their area of expertise and contribute to high profile Microsoft open source initiatives. Rencore's unique position when it comes to code quality analysis in the SharePoint space sets it apart. There's really no alternative. Platform governance is another Rencore strength. No other product provides the insights into your SharePoint Online environment with full auditing of not only configuration changes but also who changed which code where and when. Again no alternatives exist. Thomas Vochten Solution architect Office 365 & SharePoint | Microsoft MVP

We feel Rencore's marketing efforts are mainly targeted at technologists. There's a lot of other potential, especially for their platform governance product.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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
Read full review I don't know of any products that compete in the space and if there were any, they would not stand a chance against Rencore. Behind any good product is a team of highly skilled individuals, who all have the same goal, who are passionate what they do and lastly, are in it for the betterment of where they started; As Developers themselves. You can't buy that
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review The clear impact was the amount of time saved code reviewing or going through lines of code marked off by other tools that are not relevant. We cannot put a number on it since the project started off with the tool in place but based on the rules applied it could be as high as 20% of the project time.
