Overall Satisfaction with Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect

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.
  • DAST Scanning
  • API Scanning
  • Less detection of false positive
  • NA

  • 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.

Using 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
100 - 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.
