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."There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"A new user can easily understand the workflow, even if they are creating users for other divisions and the user is a beginner."
"The solution's most valuable feature is providing a single pane of visibility on all the infrastructure and its status."
"The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue."
"The solution is quite friendly."
"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance."
"The solution is easy to use and configuration is smooth with no complexities."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"It is pretty stable. I would rate it nine or maybe ten."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"It would be nice to have a feature to "retest" only a single vulnerability that the customer reports as patched, and delete it from the next scans since it has already been patched."
"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."
"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."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable."
"An area of improvement for this solution is being able to customize the dashboard. For example, the dashboard does not allow us to view a previous months vulnerability results alongside current results to make comparisons."
"They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting."
"The product could be easier to set up on the cloud."
"The shortcoming of the solution that needs improvement is related to its capability to do vulnerability assessments on applications."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration."
