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 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 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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"The price of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is reasonable as it is ten times cheaper than other options."
"You can customize each point in new scans."
"There is no burden of updating or upgrading this solution."
"One of the most valuable features of Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is its exportability, which allows us to conduct risk assessments efficiently."
"It helps us create remediation projects and assign the console’s responsibility to specific engineers."
"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management is an easy-to-use product. I"
"The solution is very simple to use."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"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."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"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 pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"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."
"We want to see how much bandwidth usage it consumes. When we monitor traffic we have issues with the consumption and throttling of the traffic."
"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings."
"The one drawback that we have found is the reports."
"The interface could be improved; right now it's running on two interfaces simultaneously."
"Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot."
"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
"It can have more integration."
