Performance of AppScan Across Market Features
AppScan Likes & Dislikes
Despite the challenges, I appreciated AppScans ability to perform comprehensive security scans across various apps. The tool also provides detailed vulnerability descriptions, which can be helpful for understanding issues.
1.- Well organized directory of application scans 2.- Detailed security and compliance reports 3.- Crawling for apps and APIs is effective, revealing hidden vulnerable directory paths or other components. 4.- Constantly evolving by increasing the vulnerability lists
Customer Support, Reliability, Powerfull Engine
The most challenging part of using AppScan was its lack of user-friendliness. Interface not intuitive, making it difficult to configure scans and interpret results efficiently
1.- Difficult installation process or maintenance due to many steps for validations and if anything crashes, you need to start over again 2.- Lots of bugs or lack of functionality leading to decreasing performance or efficiency 3.- Lack of proper documentation for a guided troubleshooting
As I said there is no perfect scanner in the market. Getting through the scan results sometimes can be frustrating bc of the false-positives. Also AppScan Standard is running on your desktop so if your scan file is bigger than one gigabyte or close program might get unresponsive.

AppScan Standard Experience
AppScan DAST delivers a robust scanning engine complemented by well-designed features like proxy integration and user-based scanning (besides lots of thing) that I am using almost daily. Its reporting capabilities are functional and thoughtfully crafted. While not perfect, as a someone who has done POC with many products I think that there is no perfect product in the market. The development team's continuous efforts to adapt to market needs and offer diverse deployment options demonstrate strong commitment. Having used it for nearly 2 years, it consistently shows steady improvement , making it reliable choice DAST scans. - Manager, IT Security and Risk Management50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
