We thought it would be great if Bright had better tools to make a map of the application's API and to scan single-page apps more effectively. Bright should get better at working together with other security tools from different companies and let users customize things the way they like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scanning and testing capabilities for frontend of your application are next level

Flexibility in reports generation

Constant meaningful improvements in Ease of Use in last year, for example Incremental app that analyzes entrypoints and triggers scans without having to set up the parameters relevant to each.

Customer Support is very helpful even when I am not from the security field. Support also are crucial for Ease of implementation, and follow up on a weekly basis on progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More challenging for products that require frequent reinstall

Could use better integration with API scanning, like entrypoint discovery with target's swagger page

Need to improve flexibility in entrypoint management for a given project (mass edit, mass delete etc)

I would also suggest diversifying the licensing options:

I need to run multiple scans in short amount of time once every 2 months to test all products. Currently the license is for one engine, which means I can use it 24/7 but am limited to one running scan. Having an option for several engines that are time limited with frequency required would be useful, even a pay-as-you-go format would work well for these use cases.

Bright Security is really simple to use. The cloud interface consents to perform high quality scan e to receive detailed reports. The repeater integration complete the features.

The scan engine consents to perform high frequency of use scan without loss of performance.

In Bright security i can appreciate the customer support quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been collaborating with Bright Security since the early days of the company. The vision was always aligned to solve a major AppSec problem - creating a tool that can perform active security to tests in order to detect vulnerabilities as early as possible before shipped to production, decreasing penetration testing scope which has a significant cause, and embeding these capabilities in to high scale security environments.

After a long journey I can now say they achieved all these goals. No other DAST integrates smoother than Bright on high scale development environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
