Subject: List of Vendors of Accessibility Scanning/Crawling/Reporting systems.
No previous message | Next message →

I am looking for a comprehensive list of vendors of services that will run periodic (monthly) and on demand scans of websites or portions of websites. The services must be externally hosted but capable of being configured to access intranet sites through a firewall. File types that may be scanned are files with html/shtml, pdf, and ms office extensions. The number of files/pages to be scanned would be in the range of 100-500k across multiple domains.

Thank you,

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure how comprehensive it is, but the WAI list of evaluation
tools has filtering options to help you find the right tools for you:
- https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/

For example, here the set of tools that can crawl multiple pages:
- https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/?q=groups-of-web-pages-or-web-sites

PS: There is also a button-like link called "Add your tool" for anyone
(ideally tool vendors themselves) to provide information about tools.

Best,
Shadi

Thank you Shadi,

I had forgotten that was on the WAI site. It looks like a good starting point for this list.

The primary concern I have with Siteimprove (and not to lay into any
one vendor here) is that their documentation says they do not scan the
DOM (content added or modified via JavaScript), only the HTML source.
This is in their official documentation (sadly only available behind a login).
If true, it gives an inaccurate results for the modern web where
Javascript is essential to how the web works, and where a gizillion
things can be fixed with ARIA and JavaScript (I am not saying it is
the ideal way to fix the web, we know it is not, but it is possible
and it is common).

Our campus web teams evaluated Deque, SiteImprove, Cryptzone, and SSB Bart
Group. We selected SSB bart Group's Accessibility Management Platform. If
you'd like to chat about what led to our decision, please contact me
off-list.
