After 4 years of use, this tool is still the best for scanning dynamic applications. When we looked for alternatives, we discovered that none of them could match the speed with which it could audit and scan ASP.NET apps. Minor customisation is possible with the offered reports, which is ideal for our corporate requirements.

  • API Scanning
  • Less detection of false positive

SDLC deployment is simple. simple to use The coverage is thorough and complete as a DAST product.
  • Excellent integration with CICD Dashboard.
  • Excellent DevSecOps management
  • detection of loopholes
  • pipeline scanning
  • Integration is really simple.
  • cloud applications that have been scanned
When compared to Insight Appsec, Focus Fortify WebInspect performs better in terms of speed, integration, and detection capabilities. The variety of vulnerabilities it detected as being against Insight Appsec is what I appreciated the most. In addition to detecting capabilities, the processing time is also quicker than with Insight Appsec. Given its performance, I would definitely advise anyone searching for DevSecOps and application security solutions to use Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect.
After using this product for 4 years, it is still a leader in dynamic application scanning. We tried to hunt for replacement and realized that no other beats the crawling and auditing speed and its ability to analyze ASP.NET applications. The provided reports allows minor customization which fits perfectly into our corporate requirements

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.

I have used Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect for scanning applications during runtime and finding OWASP TOP 10 vulnerabilities. I have used it to integrate with CICD pipeline to automate security scanning of applications and website
  • Detection of vulnerabilities
  • Scanning pipelines
  • Integration is super easy
  • Scanned cloud based applications
  • It should focus on microservices and develop features
  • Performance need to be improved
  • Multiple apps should be easy to scan in parallel thus saving time
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
  • Integration with CICD
  • Dashboard is great
  • DevSecOps management is great
  • DevSecOps helped in reducing efforts
  • License cost was less
  • We could roll out double the count of applications with implementation of WebInspect
Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect is better when it comes to speed, integration and detection capabilities as compared to Insight Appsec. What I loved the most is the broad coverage of vulnerabilities it identified as against Insight Appsec. Apart from detection capabilities the time taken is also less compared to Insight Appsec. Given the performance of Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect I would strongly recommend to everyone looking for DevSecOps and application security solutions

We use Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect for it's static analysis on our codebase of web applications. Using the reports generated for found vulnerabilities, we can work with our developers to target the high or critically ranked findings and reduce risk on our external and internally facing web apps and mobile apps.
  • Static code analysis
  • Organization of found vulnerabilities
  • Usually provides clear feedback on how to correct vulnerable code
  • Reporting could be better
  • Can be an involved setup if your organization is not using common build tools
  • Users get spammed with a lot of email updates from the service
I think Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect could fit really any organization well that needs to perform static code analysis on their applications (they do have dynamic scanning but I don't have any experience using it). Different static analysis tools scan code differently, Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect requires you to provide a full build of the application to be submitted with debugging files which could be easy or hard depending on how your organization is building it's apps.
  • Static analysis
  • Vulnerability reporting
  • Automation
  • A cheaper option than some other SAST tools
  • Automation of code scanning
  • Reduction of high and critical vulnerabilities
  • Veracode is the product I've used that is most similar to Fortify WebInspect. They both do a good job at reporting code vulnerabilities and both allow for good automation.
  • SonarQube can be a free tool, but does a much better job at finding bugs that aren't necessarily vulnerabilities.
  • Contract Assess takes a different approach for finding vulnerabilities. Instead of doing a code scan, it observes the running program to find vulnerabilities. In our experience this was harder to automate since it required developers and QA to exercise the application.

We use Fortify on our applications to perform SAST (Static Application Security Testing) and DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing). This is an Enterprise approved product and it is part of a suite of products used across the enterprise. This is NOT the only product we use for our testing, but part of a suite of products.
  • SAST
  • DAST
  • Manage Software Security Risk
  • Automation
  • Compliance
  • Integration
  • Cross module compliance
Integrated as part of our CI / CD chain. Scans are done in an automated fashion and defects are reported out and tracked. Easy to use, easy to integrate. Very pleased with the product. It does not perform cross module analysis scanning for vulnerabilities that may cross applications as well as it could, but it's pretty close.
  • Good as part of our security suite to help prevent successful attacks.
  • Reporting of defects helps to educate developers.
  • Worth the price we paid.
CAST in my opinion provides a far superior product in that it can parse in an entire suite of applications and do scans across modules. HP Fortify probably has deeper and more current scanning so I think both products complement each other. I would not rely solely on Fortify and would try to have that as part of the mix of products. Overall it's a good product. We use Fortify because the Enterprise has made that a mandatory part of our security suite.
Always receive excellent support from the vendor. No issues there.
