We performed a comparison between Acunetix and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 solution is highly stable."
"The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours."
"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 usability and overall scan results are good."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives."
"Initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The solution is one of the most, if not the most, stable product available."
"We really love the Security Center dashboard. It basically performs vulnerability scanning and then outputs a vulnerability data."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"The scanning part, the agent part – that's the valuable aspect."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."
"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."
"Additional costs are associated with using the solution, as additional scanners are required for different endpoints connected to the Tenable Security Center. If Tenable Security Center could extract information from these scanners automatically rather than manually, it would enhance user-friendliness for customers."
"The GUI could be improved to have all concerns and priorities use the same GUI, allowing them to see all tickets, assign vulnerabilities, and assign variation failures to each member of their team."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"Certain aspects require manual effort, such as exporting and analyzing data for our dashboards. The built-in components of the Tenable solution are somewhat clumsy that require external tools. So, this is an area of improvement."
"We experienced some difficulties with the solution’s support."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
