Contrast Runtime Security Platform Likes & Dislikes
High quality, low false positive findings at runtime was the best i would say and Contrast also gave us a unified platform combining IAST, SCA, ADR, RASP which really helped us in breaking the silos in dev, appsec and devops.
The dynamic scanning of the service being used is a good model.
it is a very effective tool to find and fix vulnerabilities in code, the accuracy, speed, remediation guidance, reporting capabilities are of next level. contrast also has a free tier, so that users can try out the tool before making a business decision, I would say they have one of the best customer service yet. although contrast is relatively new, they are already a leader in the application security market, that shows how much effective the solution is.
Agent centric deployment can be tricky in highly regulated environments and alert fatigue is something which I haven't liked so far, but maybe once we get used to it it gets better. I also felt the UI and navigation is a bit complex and could be better.
The product, or a totally separate product, should be built more with microservices in mind. Perhaps thinking more about a different agent model, where you have a master Docker container running on a machine that can see application docker containers start up, and instrument them directly, rather than requiring each service to add the agent into its own runtime individually.
there is nothing to dislike about contrast, it is a very good tool and their customer service is exceptional. so overall the experience is good, nothing to complain about

Runtime first visibility with strong accuracy
Contrast Runtime Security has been a solid addition to our AppSec stack, especially for runtime level visibility and protection. The instrumentation-based approach gives us much better context than traditional SAST or network centric tools and we can see the exploitable issues earlier in the lifecycle. Onboarding was smoother in greenfield services than in legacy apps and we had to invest time in agent management and policy tuning to get value. - ASSOCIATE ANALYSTGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source
go get latest@contrast :)
it was a very positive experience, contrast is a very effective tool that can detect and help fix vulnerabilities in code. contrast also provides details on how to remediate the vulnerabilities that they find. contrast is also very fast and lightweight, hence the stress on infrastructure is less, causing no problems to app teams, hence contrast is a very good fit for devsecops teams, also the customer support is at an exceptional level, the teams are very friendly and concerning. - CYBERSECURITY ANALYSTGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source

One of the best solutions for security in the market
Contrast support team always respond fast to the requests / doubts we have, the support team acts very patient during the sessions where we need help on the contrast agent installation and always provides directions/suggestions on how to do things if the installation has gone wrong (ie. legacy servers). Also, they suggested other interesting services like front end assessment which was useful for us.
