"The solution is highly stable."
"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."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"The most important feature is that it's a web-based graphical user interface. That is a great addition. Also, the ability to schedule scans is great."
"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."
"Acunetix has an awesome crawler. It gives a referral site map of near targets and also goes really deep to find all the inputs without issues. This was valuable because it helped me find some files or directories, like web admin panels without authentication, which were hidden."
"Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."
"One of the most valuable features is it is flexible."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The most valuable feature is the simple user interface."
"The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"It is very useful because it fits our requirements. It is also easy to use. It is not complex, and we are satisfied with the results."
"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 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."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"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."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"Meta data is always needed."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
