Also, WebInspect is a very good (commercial) tool.  It also includes
some invaluable utilities (Sql Injector, etc) that are a step above
their open source competitors.

Subject: Tools comparison and evaluation question (AppScan)


Hi All,

I am currently looking at using/evaluating a tool called AppScan (by
watchfire.com).

So the question is in two parts and ASAP reply would be greatly
appreciated.

First:
Without starting a flame war (hopefully) or marketing campaign (another
hopefully) can any one tell me abut their experience with the software,
what you find useful about it, what not, any annoyances, missing
functionality, etc.

Second:
Can anyone recommend any simular type of software, preferably open
source (although not at all essential), and describe its performance,
usability and "usefulness" so to speak using AppScan as a reference
point.

   Thanks,
       Serg
