Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."

"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."

"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."

"The reporting is very useful because you can always view an entire list of the issues that you have."
"This is a stable solution at the end of the day."

"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."
