"Automatic scanning is a valuable feature and very easy to use."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
"The reporting is quite intuitive, which gives you a clear indication of what kind of vulnerability you have that you can drill down on to gather more information."
"We use the solution for security testing."
"The most valuable feature is scanning the URL to drill down all the different sites."
"The product discovers more vulnerabilities compared to other tools."
"The API is exceptional."
"A significant advantage of Seeker is that it is an interactive scanner, and we have found it to be much more effective in reducing the amount of false positives than dynamic scanners such as AppScan, Micro Focus Fortify, etc. Furthermore, with Seeker, we are finding more and more valid (i.e. "true") positives over time compared with the dynamic scanners."
"There are too many false positives."
"The forced browse has been incorporated into the program and it is resource-intensive."
"It would be a great improvement if they could include a marketplace to add extra features to the tool."
"The solution is unable to customize reports."
"I'd like to see a kind of feature where we can just track what our last vulnerability was and how it has improved or not. More reports that can have some kind of base-lining, I think that would be a good feature too. I'm not sure whether it can be achieved and implement but I think that would really help."
"The technical support team must be proactive."
"The documentation needs to be improved because I had to learn everything from watching YouTube videos."
"It would be ideal if I could try some pre-built deployment scenarios so that I don't have to worry about whether the configuration sector team is doing it right or wrong. That would be very helpful."
"One area that Seeker can improve is to make it more customizable. All security scanning tools have a defined set of rules that are based on certain criteria which they will use to detect issues. However, the criteria that you set initially is not something that all applications are going to need."
