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 automated approach to these repetitive discovery attempts would take days to do manually and therefore it helps reduce the time needed to do an assessment."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"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 most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"We are able to create a report which shows the PCI DSS scoring and share it with the application teams. Then, they can correlate and see exactly what they need to fix, and why."
"The scalability is good. The scalability is more than good because it can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated as part of applications. So that really makes it a very, very versatile solution to have."
"The solution is very intuitive and the dashboards are simple to use."
"The most valuable features in Tenable SC are scanning and analysis."
"The predictive prioritization features are pretty good. They do a lot of research and we trust the research that they do internally. They have knowledge of what's going on with many companies, where we only get a view into what's going on here. So the ability to get best practices out of them as part of this solution, is valuable to us."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset."
"Support is knowledgeable."
"Tenable is the leading product for vulnerability scanning."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"It should be easier to recreate something manually, with the manual tool, because Acunetix is an automatic tool. If it finds something, it should be easier to manually replicate it. Sometimes you don't get the raw data from the input and output, so that could be improved."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"Current web page needs improvement, slows down processes."
"The reporting side can be improved. The dashboards are nice, but exporting things out for reports for management was a little tough."
"Tenable SC can improve by adding more integrations with HCI-type tools and more accurate vulnerability detection."
"A good plugin editor would be a good additional option for the Security Center."
"Its reporting can be improved. It is not easy to generate a scan report the way we want. The data is okay, but we can't easily change the template to make it look the way we want."
"Tenable SC could be improved with additional connectivity to external company postures and the capability of managing and sustaining agents in the systems directly without additional platforms in the middle."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
