VERDICT

Should I use Invicti?

Accurate and automated application security testing that scales like no other solution. Secure thousands of websites, applications, and APIs with the industry's only DAST-first AppSec platform. - invicti.com

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~14 public sources; independent user reviews are scarce and most praise is vendor-published.
