We performed a comparison between Acunetix and Veracode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools 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."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"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."
"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."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"One of the valuable features is that it gives us the option of static scanning. Most tools of this type are centered around dynamic scanning. Having a static scan is very important."
"It's not "one policy fits all." I really like that Veracode allows me to set up specific policies that I can apply to applications."
"The coverage of the last vulnerabilities reported."
"The main feature, and one of the most important, is the static code analysis. We are able to complete an analysis of the security flaws with this platform. It's very good at helping us find and fix flaws."
"We use Veracode static analysis during development to eliminate vulnerability issues"
"Wide range of platforms and technology assessments."
"It's straightforward, and it does not require a lot of time. It's a straightforward platform that you can use for performing scans or mitigating issues. It has a very good user interface. FAQs are also helpful in case you are not familiar with it."
"I like the static scanning, and Veracode's interface is excellent. The dashboard is easy to navigate."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"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."
"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."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"The cost of the solution is a little bit expensive. Expensive in the sense that there was a hundred percent increase in cost from last year to this year, which is certainly not justified."
"It would be nice if Veracode were bundled with some preferred vendors like Salesforce and offered at a discount."
"The GUI requires significant simplification, as its current complexity creates a steep learning curve for new users."
"There should be more control for administrative users so that we can add and delete any functionality or module within the platform. We should not have to reach out to Veracode's customer support every time. We should be able to customize our modules."
"Their platform is not consistent. It needs a lot of user experience updates. It's slow performing, and they log you out of the system every 15 minutes, so using the platform is challenging from a developer's perspective because you always have to log in."
"The JIRA integration automation aspect of it could be improved significantly. We want to have a way to create tickets that are going to allow people to work through those flaws that we're finding. We don't want people to feel like they're missing out on something or that they're not following directions in the right way."
"The scanning could be improved, because some scans take a bit of time."
"It could have better integration with our pipeline. If we could have better integration with our application pipeline, e.g., Jira, Bamboo, or Azure DevOps, then that will be very helpful. Right now, it is quite hard to integrate the solution into our existing pipeline."
