Pros
Cyber Chief is like all other good SaaS software. It works without having to do too much tinkering with options and it's easily understood.
It helps me keep my bosses happy because I can show them that vulnerability scans have been done and the issues have been patched.
We got set up in less than 5 minutes and the Audacix team were really helpful. I can manage the vulnerabilities without having to share PDFs or CSVs with my team.
They have various options to add workspaces for the environments like testing, staging, prod which helps me keep track of the security issues across environments. Their support team is amazing.
Cons
Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing reporting.
Vulnerability testing for gaming software solutions.
Providing vulnerability reports for custom apps.
Can't think of anything that's wrong with this tool.

"Scans well all our custom web apps that we build"
Overall: Having used it for a few months now, I think the tool is very good and the company very responsive
Pros: I was given this tool to use by my management. So far it's very simple to understand. I don't use the API but running the scans on schedules works well and I'm able to present reprots that get sent to customers. I've not really used many other tools but I liked that even training for Cyber Chief was only 20-30 minutes, after that I was fully able to use every part of hte stystem. Authenticated scanning feature is really good. The team sets it up for me and so it makes my life easy. Also we do a lot of our coding in Java, and most of the fixes also include instructiosn on how to fix the vulnerability in Java. I've had pen test reports before where it would just take us weeks to fix vulnerabilities, but here, usually within a few minutes I know what to do. Very fast
Cons: We build mobile apps so API scanning would be good to have. But I passed this on to my CS rep and he said he said that is on the roadmap. Hopefully it comes soon!
"Securing marketing SaaS software"
Overall: Most user friendly vulnerability scanner we've found for software developers
Pros: My devs build a lot of applications and some clients need us to do vulnerability scans and fix the issues too. But, Cyber Chief was the first tool that we found that actually helped us fix the vulnerabilities. Most tools find the vulnerablities but the remediations are usually very vague. I liked that my devs weren't wasting time searching for answers on the internet. And I could keep track of what they were doing from the dashboard
Cons: Really not much. This is a big improvement over others we've tried.
"Used for showing security proof to B2B clients"
Overall: I'm not a dev but it does what I need it to do
Pros: I've been using results from CyberChief scans to show B2b prospects that our sales software is safe. I've shown some vulnerability results to friends from the development team and they were impressed by how detailed the vulnerability resolutions are
Cons: Some more downloadable reports would be good. Haven't really had to contact support so can't comment on how they are
"Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing reporting"
Overall: I would say highly positive. I know this is a new tool with not the brand of some of the others, but they have really built something that saves time for development teams.
Pros: A number of things that I like about this tool. One is that there is no user-based pricing. SO it doesn't cost us more to have our whole team use it. Second is that I can assign vulnerabilities to my team from within the app and then see how long it takes them to fix. The fixes mentioned are also very detailed.
Cons: Nothing really. We've requested a couple of things and our customer success rep has been very responsive. Being able to tag people in issue comments would be useful
"Best Cyber"
Overall: Easy for me to use. My devs really like the clear vulnerability resolutions it gives
Pros: I run the scans and then assign to my devs when vulnerabilities are found. I like that I can just click a button to run a scan
Cons: Nothing to mention but I like all in this software
"Scanning for vulnerabilities in custom PHP web apps"
Overall: Good
Pros: I was given this tool to use by my management. So far it's very simple to understand. I don't use the API but running the scans on schedules works well and I'm able to present reprots that get sent to customers. I've not really used many other tools but I liked that even training for Cyber Chief was only 20-30 minutes, after that I was fully able to use every part of hte stystem.
Cons: I haven't used other tools so not sure what else it should have
"Vulnerability testing for gaming software solutions"
Overall: When put together with pen testing solution, it is an easy and cost effective solution, because otherwise we'd be paying $4k a year just for a vulnerability scanner
Pros: Our company went looking for a vulnerability scanner when international clients started asking us security related questions. It's not always cost-effective to get an external assessment done so we've started using Cyber Chief to improve our processes. I chose it for my team because it is superr easy to use. We also get pen testing done with Audacix so the whole solution works well together, especially the vulnerability management feature that is use for pen testing issues too.
Cons: I think the comment feature needs the ability to tag team members so they can get notifications
"Great for software devs who want to get on writing code"
Overall: We can now scan each of our builds before pushing them to prod. It just gives me a lot of certainty that we're not pushing code with massive security vulnerabilities.
Pros: - Really clean interface, easy to navigate - No need to tinker with different test rules - We got set up in less than 5 minutes and the Audacix team were really helpful - I can manage the vulnerabilities without having to share PDFs or CSVs with my team - Very detailed resolutions to each vulnerability
Cons: Not much, just that the dashboard could show more stats. Passed on this feedback and the team have put it on their roadmap
"Automated pen testing for custom CRM & finance system"
Overall: It helps me keep my bosses happy because I can show them that vulnerability scans have been done and the issues have been patched
Pros: It's a very easy to use software and does exactly what it says. I've tried other open source tools and they need a lot of configs that are often hard to understand. The vulnerability fixes in the programming language that we're using is a big help
Cons: I'm just nitpicking, but I'd like a list of all the vulnerabilities that have been resolved before
"Providing vulnerability reports for custom apps"
Overall: Cyber Chief is like all other good SaaS software. It works without having to do too much tinkering with options and it's easily understood
Pros: I can assign vulnerabilities to different developers in my team. I can check how long it's taking my team to fix the vulnerabilities. I'm quite sure that my developers are taking less time to fix the vulnerabilities too because the resolutions are very detailed
Cons: API scanning feature will be very useful for our mobile app developments
"Nice scanner for web apps"
Overall: Recommend it to all software dev teams
Pros: Really simpleto use and fast to get going. I liked that I didn't have to download anything to use it.
Cons: Nothing so far, although a chat option to talk to CS would be good
"Recommend this software"
Pros: I like how their tool is easy to setup, also this tool it helps build accountability in my team, I can invite my team and assign an issue to them so I know who's responsible for it. - They have various options to add workspaces for the environments like testing, staging, prod which helps me keep track of the security issues across environments - Their support team is amazing. - I use their scheduled scanning option which runs automatically. - It gave me resolutions for the vulnerabilities in various programming language that were found which is a big plus for me as I was using other tools which didn't really give any useful resolution on how to rectify the issue. - Great for SaaS teams - They have a team of security analysts which help you out if you run into any problem.
Cons: Can't think of anything that's wrong with this tool
