We performed a comparison between Acunetix and PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition 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."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."
"Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."
"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."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"The tool's most valuable feature is scan configurations. We use it for external physical applications. The scanning time depends on the application's code."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution's extensions really expand the capabilities and features offered by the installation."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"This tool helps identify vulnerabilities. We then provide the report to the developers, who address the issues identified automatically. Its most valuable feature is CI/CD integration."
"We want to see how much bandwidth usage it consumes. When we monitor traffic we have issues with the consumption and throttling of the traffic."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"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."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."
"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."
"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."
