Find out in this report how the two Vulnerability Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"One of the features that I feel is groundbreaking, that I would like to see expanded on, is the IAS feature: The Interactive Application Security Testing module that gets loaded onto an application on a server, for more in-depth, granular findings. I think that is really neat. I haven't seen a lot of competitors doing that."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."
"It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The product is easy to use."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"You can't actually change your password after you've set it unless you go back into the administration account and you change it there. Thus, if you're locked out and don't remember your password, that's a thing."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the way the licensing model is currently is not very convenient for us because initially, when we bought it, the licensing model was very flexible, but now it restricts us."
"I had some issues with the JSON parameters where it found some strange vulnerabilities, but it didn't alert the person using it or me about these vulnerabilities, e.g., an error for SQL injection."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"We have had issues during upgrades where their scans worked on some apps better with previous versions. Then, we had to work with their tech support, who were great, to get it fixed for the next version."
"The only problem that they have is the price. It is a bit expensive, and you cannot change the number of applications for the whole year."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."
"The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."
