"I've been using the product for almost 20 years"
What do you like best about HCL AppScan?

Ease of use. I can quickly scan a sight and have the response to the developers in a timely maner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL AppScan?

I can't scan applications behind Azure that use MFA. The recording login feature only allows me to use their built in browser. When I choose a third party browser to run a scan it will only start that browser in private mode so I can't use cached credentials. The reporting does not allow me to export to an excel file to create a check list of what the issues are so I can easily track resolutions with projects and developers. I've only had to use customer support once and it was not a good experience. I had to work directly with the technical sales department to have my issue resolved. I'd recommend using the same approach. The license manager is a nightmare to work with. I have to re-build my machine everytime I switch networks to perform a scan. 802.1x completely breaks the license manager so I have to get a by-pass from our networking group. Not sure why Licensing is so difficult to use. I've had co-workers who quit using the product because of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Testing Suite that packs quite a punch!"
What do you like best about HCL AppScan?

Even though the app is accurate, some false positives always creeps in. Comparatively it gives less false positives than others in the market but I believe the false positives can be avoided in future to make testing less menial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All in one solution"
What do you like best about HCL AppScan?

One of the most important aspects especially about

HCL AppScan is super easy to integrate directly into the SDLC. Managing it is very user-friendly and very easy for DevOps to also use. It is hosted in a cloud-native environment so it provides high availability, scalability and high restorable capacities for disaster recovery. Apart from that there are almost all the features available that are needed for proper in-depth Application Security Scanning, along with providing visibility into the current security posture and safeguarding the applications from threats, and vulnerabilities. It also keeps track of any compliance violations. Their crawler I must say is one of the top-notch in the market. Since it provides a comprehensive solution for security testing and management, it is used as a daily tool. It helped significantly to reduce errors and track metrics on a daily cadence.

Another, interesting point to note is their prompt customer service, if any assistance is required.

Overall it is a great tool! I highly recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HCL AppScan?

The only downside I can think of is the cost is a bit on the higher end for lower-budget projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
