ZAP is intended for developers, testers new to security testing, and security testing specialists. Its automation and Docker options also suit teams incorporating scans into CI workflows.
ProxyMesh suits web-scrapers needing rotating HTTP addresses and support for multiple proxy locations. It may not suit scraping Google, Craigslist, LinkedIn, or SEO-related targets.
