Scheduling scans and integrating them
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing from other similar products?
It allows recording complex application functionalities and APIs for reuse in future scans. This improves efficiency and reduces manual effort compared to scripting each interaction.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
For me, the ability to schedule scans and integrate them into CI/CD pipelines is a game-changer. This automation ensures frequent security checks without manual intervention, catching vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The resource-intensive nature of on-premise deployments can be a drawback. For organizations with limited server capacity, the high RAM requirements can be a significant hurdle.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Research competitors like Veracode or Checkmarx to compare features, pricing, and ease of use.

WebInspect excels at finding security
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing from other similar products?
Many DAST tools focus on external attacks. WebInspect's IAST capabilities go beyond, simulating user interactions to uncover vulnerabilities within the application logic.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
For me, the most impressive aspect of WebInspect is its powerful vulnerability detection. Its ability to combine DAST and IAST techniques provides thorough coverage, mimicking real-world attacks and uncovering hidden weaknesses. This can significantly improve an organization's application security posture.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The most frustrating aspect of WebInspect seems to be the installation process. Limited to Windows environments and reports of complexity can be a hurdle, especially for those without prior experience with the tool.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Consider your team's security expertise. The learning curve for WebInspect might be steeper for those unfamiliar with DAST tools.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
