Standardized releases have reduced errors and now streamline our cloud resource management
To improve Digital.ai Release, I think the user interface could be improved. For example, I have a plan phase before my build phase, and sometimes the toggle button is hidden. I have to toggle it before the step can be executed, or it will be skipped. Many people who did not use Digital.ai Release before do not even know there is a toggle button, and the first time when they run into that phase, they will definitely skip that step. Regarding needed improvements, I did not do extensive reading on documentation or training material directly from Digital.ai Release. My knowledge comes from the team who has been using it. However, I would appreciate standardized training material that would give me hands-on experience.

Enhancements in manual testing align with reporting and integration features
WebInspect works efficiently with Java-based or .NET based applications. However, it struggles with Salesforce applications, where it requires approximately 20-24 hours to crawl and audit but produces minimal findings, necessitating manual verification. The solution offers customization features for crawling and vulnerability detection. It includes various security frameworks and allows selection of specific vulnerability types to audit, such as OWASP Top 10 or JavaScript-based vulnerabilities. When working with APIs, we can select OWASP API Top 10. The tool also supports custom audit features by combining different security frameworks. For on-premises deployment, the setup is complex, particularly regarding SQL server configuration. Unlike Burp Suite or OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing, which have simpler setup processes, WebInspect requires SQL server setup to function.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Involving both infrastructure and application teams in the same pipeline has genuinely helped my process, as we have one specific person starting the pipeline, another approving it, and another coordinating as DevOps or monitoring all processes from the infrastructure side, providing excellent assistance because we have different and clearly separated responsibilities."
"The most valuable feature of Digital.ai Release is its ability to communicate with various deployment systems, such as XLD and batch deployments, as well as integrate with tools, such as Flyway and Bamboo. We use Bamboo as our build orchestrator, and Digital.ai Release also integrates with Jira, another Atlassian solution. These capabilities make it a powerful tool for managing workflow, test automation, and other processes."
"The solution can apply one template across multiple applications."
"Since using Digital.ai Release, one of the benefits is standardizing the way I release to my Azure environment, which in the long term will help me reduce costs and improve efficiency."
"Since we started using the manual testing module from Digital.ai, I have seen a positive impact on my organization as our test management has improved significantly."
"Since using Digital.ai Release, time has been saved, money has been saved, and staffing requirements have been reduced."
"Digital.ai Release offers the best features such as good integration between multiple tools and flexible options for usage; while I have not configured the template myself, I use existing templates and find that anything can be accomplished using the workflows and integrations."
"The time is also reduced because the manual work has tremendously decreased. We just have to click one button, and it will create everything for us."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"The product is a good option for enterprise-level organizations."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The transaction recorder within WebInspect is easy to use, which is valuable for our team."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"It is easy to use, and its reporting is fairly simple."
"It is scalable and very easy to use."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
 

Cons

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Digital.ai Release can be improved by reducing the number of tasks that need to be completed before starting a release, as there are too many tasks to get done."
"I feel that it could be more user-friendly, as the UI feels a bit old and not very appealing."
"One improvement for Digital.ai Release could be to simplify the user interface for beginners."
"I would like to improve Digital.ai Release by exploring its cloud capabilities as we are currently in the middle of migrating to the cloud, but I actually have no idea what Digital.ai's cloud capabilities are."
"Currently, we put artifact details manually. What we could improve, in our case, is the deployment instruction base. Developers input all the information, including which artifact and where it needs to be deployed. What Digital.ai could do is automatically go to the deployment instruction page, take those artifact details, and implement them."
"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
"Digital.ai Release could improve by having a better plugin that works with Guardian that we use for mainframe migrations. If there could be an interface or plugin for Guardian that would be beneficial."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."
"The first time we ran the module, it was okay, however, the next time we ran it, it almost crashed."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"The main area for improvement in Fortify WebInspect is the price, as it is too high compared to the market rate."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, the price is just too high; especially considering we're in the middle of a pandemic."
"The solution's license includes all features."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"The price is okay."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"This solution is very expensive."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
