Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 29, 2026

OpenText Core Application Security and Invicti are key players in the application security solutions category. OpenText Core may have the upper hand with its comprehensive dashboards and integration within DevOps lifecycles, while Invicti excels in proof-based scanning, reducing false positives.

Features: OpenText Core Application Security offers static and dynamic scanning, vulnerability management, and seamless DevOps pipeline integration. Users benefit from comprehensive dashboards and remediation guidance. Invicti is known for robust web application security assessments, proof-based scanning, and effective vulnerability detection. Its interactive interface and capabilities to reduce false positives are significant advantages.

Room for Improvement: OpenText Core Application Security struggles with complex code scenarios and faces issues with false positives. It also has limitations in programming language support, needing AI-enhancements to improve accuracy. Invicti requires faster scan speeds and better reporting formats. Improvements are needed in proof concepts and verification levels.

Automated scanning has strengthened web application security and supports hybrid protection

A good scanning engine is what I appreciate about Invicti. When you want to find out the vulnerabilities within your web applications, Invicti has done a thorough job with respect to filtering out the vulnerabilities and identifying the risk factors with respect to the security modules within the solution. Invicti does have a segment of the solution which works on the automated scanning engine. As long as the license is active, the scanners that work within the solution are pretty effective. With respect to SAST and DAST, being a real-time scanning engine is one of the portfolios and one of the selling factors of the solution. Invicti is known to be a solution that works within the hybrid environment, be it cloud, on-premises, or a mix and match across multiple marketplaces. It does a thorough job. Most importantly, Invicti is a very good SAST and DAST solution that is very competitive in the market with respect to competitors. Invicti is a part of the Magic Quadrant with respect to Gartner's Magic Quadrant and has made a very good customer database and pipeline within the marketplace locally. With respect to security impacts in terms of support, Invicti is pretty much supportive. With respect to use cases or the POCs I have run on the solution, we have identified a couple of vulnerabilities and Invicti was able to trace them, detect, and quarantine the attacks.

Supports secure development pipelines and improves issue detection but limits internal visibility and needs broader dashboard integration

If you have an internal team and you want your internal team to validate false positives, basically to determine whether it's a valid issue or an invalid issue, then I wouldn't recommend it much. That was the only reason we migrated from Fortify on Demand to another solution. Fortify has another tool which is Fortify WebInspect. On Demand is the outsourcing solution, and WebInspect you can use with your in-house team, which is basically the product developed by the Fortify team. For automated scanning, Fortify helps a lot. Regarding the visibility for the internal team, everyone is moving toward the DevSecOps side, and Fortify team has made good progress that you can integrate into your CICD pipeline. One thing I would highlight is if Fortify can focus more on the centralized dashboard of the tools because nowadays, tools such as SentinelOne also exist for identifying security issues, but they have a centralized dashboard that merges their cloud solution and application security side solution together. If you have one tool that works for different solutions, it helps a lot. They are doing good, but they should invest more on the AI side as well because AI security is evolving these days. On the cloud side, they have already made good progress, but I believe they should explore the new area related to AI security as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scanner and the result generator are valuable features for us."

"Crawling feature: Netsparker has very detail crawling steps and mechanisms. This feature expands the attack surface."

"Netsparker provides a more interactive interface that is more appealing."

"Netsparker has done an awesome job with its crawler, as it has found all of the links (also thanks to its good DOM parser)."

"One of the features I like about this program is the low number of false positives and the support it offers."

"High level of accuracy and quick scanning."

"Netsparker offers some pretty features: Crawling feature: Netsparker has very detail crawling steps and mechanisms, this feature expands the attack surface, Attacking feature: Actually, attacking is not a solo feature, it contains many attack engines, Hawk, and many properties, but Netsparker's attacking mechanism is very flexible, this increases the vulnerability detection rate, also, Netsparker made the Hawk for real-time interactive command-line-based exploit testing, it's very valuable for a vulnerability scanner, and a very useful API for automating the scans."

"I would rate the stability as ten out of ten."

More Invicti pros

"Being able to reduce risk overall is a very valuable feature for us."

"Fortify on Demand's best feature is that there's no need to install and configure it locally since it's on the cloud."

"The features I found most valuable is that it is very configurable and the installation was also very easy."

"The static code analyzer provides views from a security perspective and it is easy to use compared to others."

"Excellent – from the PoC through setup and implementation; we received timely and knowledgeable support whenever we need it."

"The best features with Fortify on Demand include having analysis for any product based on analysis points."

"Provides good depth of scanning and we get good results."

"The static code analyzers are the most valuable features of this solution."

More OpenText Core Application Security pros

Cons

"They don't really provide the proof of concept up to the level that we need in our organization. We are a consultancy firm, and we provide consultancy for the implementation and deployment solutions to our customers. When you run the scans and the scan is completed, it only shows the proof of exploit, which really doesn't work because the tool is running the scan and exploiting on the read-only form. You don't really know whether it is actually giving the proof of exploit. We cannot prove it manually to a customer that the exploit is genuine. It is really hard to perform it manually and prove it to the concerned development, remediation, and security teams. It is currently missing the static application security part of the application security, especially web application security. It would be really cool if they can integrate a SAS tool with their dynamic one."

"Currently, there is nothing I would like to improve."

"The scan performance can be improved upon."

"It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities."

"Invicti's reporting capabilities need enhancement. We need enterprise-level information instead of repo-level details. Unlike Appiro, Invicti does not provide portfolio-level insights into vulnerability remediation over time."

"They could enhance the support for data swap testing for the platform."

"They need to improve their support in the documentation. Their support mechanism is missing. Their responsiveness, technical staff, and these types of things need to be improved, and comprehensive documentation is required. They should have good self-service portal enhancement"

"Perhaps the custom attack preparation screen might be improved."

More Invicti cons

"Temenos's (T-24) info basic is a separate programming interface, and such proprietary platforms and programming interfaces were not easily supported by the out-of-the-box versions of Fortify."

"The solution is expensive and the price could be reduced."

"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand cannot be run from a Linux Agent. When we are coding the endpoint it will not work, we have to use Windows Agent. This is something they could improve."

"There are frequent complaints about false positives from Fortify. One day it may pass a scan with no issues, and the next day, without any code changes, it will report vulnerabilities such as password exposure."

"Fortify on Demand needs to improve its pricing."

"It's still a little bit too complex for regular developers."

"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand could improve the reports. They could benefit from being more user-friendly and intuitive."

"The technical support is actually a problem that needs to be addressed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."

"The price should be 20% lower"

"The solution is very expensive. It comes with a yearly subscription. We were paying 6000 dollars yearly for unlimited scans. We have three licenses; basic, business, and ultimate. We need ultimate because it has unlimited scan numbers."

"We are using an NFR license and I do not know the exact price of the NFR license. I think 20 FQDN for three years would cost around 35,000 US Dollars."

"Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."

"I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."

"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."

More Invicti pricing and cost advice

"I believe the rental license is not too expensive, but it provides a lot of information about the vulnerabilities."

"It is not more expensive than other solutions, but the pricing is competitive."

"The solution is expensive and the price could be reduced."

"Buying a license would be feasible for regular use. For intermittent use, the cloud-based option can be used (Fortify on Demand)."

"We make an annual purchase of the licenses we need."

"Despite being on the higher end in terms of cost, the biggest value lies in its abilities, including robust features, seamless integration, and high-quality findings."

"The price is fair compared to that of other solutions."

"The product's cost depends on the type of license."
