What do you like best about Detectify?

We were looking for an easy-to-use scanning tool that will allow us to check and audit our sites. We had tried Qualys and Intruder.io and both of those tools take forever to configure and it should not take that time. Detectify is super easy to use. One email and we were working. The Chrome add-on for the login credentials is a great plus. Scanning for vulnerabilities and the reports are excellent. Furthermore, it takes absolutely no time to get it configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

The UI interface is simple, but sometimes it is a little bit confusing when browsing from and to the scan results. Sometimes it is not clear if a scan is running because you do not have any indication that the scan is going on. You can only see that on the Scan page. When a vulnerability is fixed, the system does not recognize this in the following scan. It keeps it in history. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Detectify:

If you need an easy-to-use and configure tool for scanning, this is your tool. You will be working and fixing things in no time. We started using this tool thanks to an online review, and we did not have high hopes, but it has been quite reliable and great to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?

We required an easy-to-use tool so we could check our sites for vulnerabilities. Detectify has proven perfect. Deep scan is really reliable and it has helped us fix some medium and minor risks we had. We will continue using Detectify because it is the perfect tool for the job we wanted to do.

What do you like best about Detectify?

Detectify's ability to facilitate dynamic application security testing (DAST) is what really grabs my attention. Its very effective particularly for groups wishing to increase the scope of their security testing without requiring intricate setups. Its easy to integrate into our current pipelines and to set up and modify. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

Detectify offers a variety of advantages; however, there are certain aspects where enhancements could be made. A significant limitation is its inadequate support for GraphQL, especially concerning mutations and queries.There is a lack of clarity regarding the outcomes of spidering. While Detectify's spidering capabilities are beneficial, the absence of comprehensive details about the crawling process complicates the verification of whether all components of an application have been thoroughly assessed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Detectify makes it easier for us to consistently spot security vulnerabilities in our web applications. By automating Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), we can identify common issues like XSS, SQL injection, and other security threats early in the development process, thanks to its seamless integration with our CI/CD pipelines.

What do you like best about Detectify?

It is very comprehensive with lots of features to test security and can be automated and tailoured easily to your needs. It has excellent documentation on how best to fix any detected problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

It is automated so can't offer the insights a human tester might do. It can be expensive if you want to test multiple sites. It can be complex to set up initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?

It quickly identifies issues with web site security with detailed feedback. This is crucial in my business as we handle a lot of customer data, so having the peace of mind that there is a regular automated scan is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Detectify?

Customer success team have been very helpful for us to get started. That meant a lot to get us started and really offloading our internal teams. The UI is very intuitive and easy to view (we don't yet use the API), reports are good. Also was easy to setup stuff like automated login for the scanner, SSO for users etc. We also use tagging a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

Not much bad to say about it really, but also I'm not the dev triaging it. More follow up reports and progress as a IT Security manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Offloading internal teams. Very easy to setup and maintain, which of course was the purpose of why were looking for a hosted scanner. Thanks to Detectify our dev teams have a natural way to triage security findings on a regular basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Detectify?

From the discoveries of new subjects, and for the ease of use, I also really like the integration of notifications, and detailing the vulnerabilities and how to perform their corrections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

It can improve the indicators, of how we are and what we have improved or worsened on top of each scanner, the score is sometimes not enough. I believe I could have a page with only this data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?

The tool is helping me to discover DNS that the security team is not aware of, helping us to find risks to our environment with a very good speed. We can't see each other anymore without using the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Detectify?

I like how I can rely on Detectify to understand my company's attack surface, subdomains and vulnerabilities. Even after one year of use, there is still a lot of work to do there, and some security bugs that appear out of nothing, we use Detectify to check if it was already mapped. This helps a lot in everyday tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

Being from a country with a currency not much valorized, the price is something that we struggled with to get the tool, but it is just that. Besides currency, there is nothing to complain about. ^^ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a Cyber Security Engineer, with Detectify I can map the attacking surface, detect and validate the findings with rare false positives and reduce the risk of being attacked in the company where I work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Detectify?

What most stood out to me was how easy it was to generate rich, insightful reports, even with no prior knowledge of how the tool worked. I was able to build reports in minutes that I expected to take hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Detectify?

In terms of dislikes, nothing immediate comes to mind. I suppose one thing that may be relevant is that the tool seemed intimidating / non-intuitive to me for the first few moments when I used it, but then again that's not really a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Detectify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Compliance related to security and auditing our systems. The best benefit I have realized so far is the generation of reports in a short amount of time that enable us to pass compliance checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

simplified format to get a visibility of web app vulnerabilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
