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."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."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"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."
"Acunetix is the best service in the world. It is easy to manage. It gives a lot of information to the users to see and identify problems in their site or applications. It works very well."
"The automated approach to these repetitive discovery attempts would take days to do manually and therefore it helps reduce the time needed to do an assessment."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"It improves future security scans."
"The vulnerability detection and scanning are awesome features."
"Fortify on Demand's best feature is that there's no need to install and configure it locally since it's on the cloud."
"Once we have our project created with our application pipeline connected to the test scanning, it only takes two minutes. The report explaining what needs to be modified related to security and vulnerabilities in our code is very helpful. We are able to do static and dynamic code scanning."
"The most valuable feature is that it connects with your development platforms, such as Microsoft Information Server and Jira."
"The most important feature of the product is to follow today's technology fast, updated rules and algorithms (of the product)."
"Speed and efficiency are great features."
"We identified a lot of security vulnerability much earlier in the development and could fix this well before the product was rolled out to a huge number of clients."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"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 solution's pricing could be better."
"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."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"Temenos's (T-24) info basic is a separate programming interface, and such proprietary platforms and programming interfaces were not easily supported by the out-of-the-box versions of Fortify."
"In terms of what could be improved, we need more strategic analysis reports, not just for one specific application, but for the whole enterprise. In the next release, we need more reports and more analytic views for all the applications. There is no enterprise view in Fortify. I would like enterprise views and reports."
"There are lots of limitations with code technology. It cannot scan .net properly either."
"Takes up a lot of resources which can slow things down."
"Fortify on Demand could be improved with support in Russia."
"I would like the solution to add AI support."
"The technical support is actually a problem that needs to be addressed. Since the acquisition and merger with Hewlett Packard, it has been really hard to know who the technical or salesperson to talk to."
"Micro Focus Fortify on Demand can improve by having more graphs. For example, to show the improvement of the level of security."
