We performed a comparison between Acunetix and Tenable Vulnerability Management 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."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."
"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 most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours."
"The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable."
"The vulnerability management itself is the most valuable feature as well as references to the mitigation techniques."
"It is very stable, and it is updated periodically by adding new vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The product is easy to use."
"They are on a good trajectory as a company and investing in R&D in the right ways."
"You can customize each point in new scans."
"It is a very, very user-friendly tool...The setup is easy"
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"The jargon used makes it difficult for project managers to understand the issues, and the technical explanations used make it difficult for developers to understand issues. These things should be simplified much more. That would be very helpful for us when explaining to them what needs to be fixed. The report output needs to be simplified."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness."
"The solution must provide penetration testing."
"I'd like to see them improve their support."
"Tenable could improve visibility into assets, including automated asset tagging. You should be able to automatically tag assets based on location, function, ownership, etc. That would help us because we spend a lot of time identifying and tagging assets by hand."
"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."
"The reporting was never great in Tenable Vulnerability Management, so, in my company, we imported all the data into Ivanti RiskSense to start using it for reporting."
"Tenable.io Vulnerability Management could be improved with an increased number of dashboards and MSSP integration."
"The solution seems to focus too much on enterprises, and they really need a product that works for SMBs."
