Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is scan configurations. We use it for external physical applications. The scanning time depends on the application's code."
"The solution is highly stable."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"InsightVM's best features are the vulnerability database and remediation steps."
"Rapid7 have a good distribution network with good support and market presence."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"Integration into other tools is very limited for Acunetix. While we're trying to incorporate a CI/CD process where we're integrating with JIRA and we're integrating with Jenkins and Chef, it becomes problematic. Other tools give you a high integration capability to connect into different solutions that you may already have, like JIRA."
"It would be nice to have a feature to "retest" only a single vulnerability that the customer reports as patched, and delete it from the next scans since it has already been patched."
"The solution can be improved by adding the ability to scan subdomains automatically, and by providing reports that can be exported to external databases to share with other solutions."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"Technical support does not respond quickly."
"Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"The reporting could be better."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
