We performed a comparison between NowSecure and OWASP Zap based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)."The most valuable feature is the ability to download an application without actually putting in the APK. It gives us an option to put the APK in if we want to but we can download it from the App Store and Play Store."
"The HUD is a good feature that provides on-site testing and saves a lot of time."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The best feature is the Zap HUD (Heads Up Display) because the customers can use the website normally. If we scan websites with automatic scanning, and the website has a web application firewall, it's very difficult."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
"You can run it against multiple targets."
"They offer free access to some other tools."
"The scalability of this product is very good."
"It updates repositories and libraries quickly."
"In this solution, there are two kinds of testing, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There needs some improvement in testing with dynamic analysis because I have found it is not accurate"
"Reporting format has no output, is cluttered and very long."
"The work that it does in the limited scope is good, but the scope is very limited in terms of the scanning features. The number of things it tests or finds is limited. They need to make it a more of a mainstream tool that people can use, and they can even think about having it on a proprietary basis. They need to increase the coverage of the scan and the results that it finds. That has always been Zap's limitation. Zap is a very good tool for a beginner, but once you start moving up the ladder where you want further details and you want your scan to show more in-depth results, Zap falls short because its coverage falls short. It does not have the capacity to do more."
"The product should allow users to customize the report based on their needs."
"ZAP's integration with cloud-based CICD pipelines could be better. The scan should run through the entire pipeline."
"Sometimes, we get some false positives."
"The documentation is lacking and out-of-date, it really needs more love."
"Lacks resources where users can internally access a learning module from the tool."
"The technical support team must be proactive."
