It's very fast to setup and get integrated. It has great configuration support and additional options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

StackHawk helps us identify vulnerabilities in API services and code - closer to the developer and less removed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

I am trying to solve one issue: excluding the path /actuator from the scans. I have followed the docs and used the AI bot, but because I am in NZ, it is difficult to make contact with a real person due to timezone differences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about StackHawk?

StackHawk was built with a SaaS first mindset, unlike many of the competing products in the space, which made it a perfect fit for our needs. It has just the right number of features and does what it does very well.

We've been able to automate much of our interaction with the product through the robust APIs provided out of the box. Integrations are easy and straight forward. As a result, we're able to scan our products for vulnerabilities on every build as well as via continuous scanning from our CI/CD tooling.

I love the Slack-based customer support. As an early customer, we've been able to participate in beta and even pre-release design and have a great relationship with the StackHawk team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

We've struggled with some of our larger APIs not completing scans in a timely manner. The StackHawk support team has been great about helping us solve for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've shifted our security to the left and StackHawk helped us do that in an easy, automated way. We're able to scan our internet-facing solutions early and often to ensure we're not introducing vulnerabilities in our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have multiple web applications built and hosted on various different platforms. This leads us to the problem of managing the API and runtime security of the application.

What do you like best about StackHawk?

Relatively easy to use once initial setup is done. Easy to add in automation. Decent interface. Customer support was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StackHawk?

Not quite intuitive setup, so a bit of a learning curve. Hard to manage vulnerabilities from a perspective of seeing how to manually reproduce and also to mark as false positive. No ability to mark application types and have custom severity on certain vulns based on that. eg XSS in website is more serious than in a json api. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed to scan our APIs daily to pick up any low hanging fruit and make sure it gets remediated immediately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
