"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"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."
"It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"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."
"The cost is what is most valuable. Compared to the other products on the market, the cost is more palatable."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The product is scalable."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is stable and scalable."
"This solution is much more user-friendly than past solutions I have used."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"I had some issues with the JSON parameters where it found some strange vulnerabilities, but it didn't alert the person using it or me about these vulnerabilities, e.g., an error for SQL injection."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"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."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"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."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."
"There is a significant learning curve, that non-technical individuals, especially those not specialized in computer science or the information security industry, might face."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"There was functionality present previously, however, currently, we can't integrate directly with Jira Service Desk - only the cloud version."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"Technical support does not respond quickly."
