"The solution is highly stable."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is scan configurations. We use it for external physical applications. The scanning time depends on the application's code."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"The customers were looking for something around static security and dynamic security, and in all those areas, they were looking for an industry leader with a proven solution. Synopsys is a Gartner leader, so I position this particular technology for the technical pre-sales part of it."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"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."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"The initial setup is a bit challenging because things are not easy. It needs a lot of technology adaptability plus the customer's environment-specific use cases."
