"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."
"Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"The Auto-Remediate feature is good."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"It's a very useful tool."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the Assurance Report Card, which gives us an overview of the security poster in just a simple glance."

"The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"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 are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"The solution can be improved by adding the ability to scan subdomains automatically, and by providing reports that can be exported to external databases to share with other solutions."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"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."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"Tenable SC could improve by making the creation of the initial reports easier that correspond to our network."
"The solution needs to improve the vulnerability assessment because we have experienced some challenges with accuracy."
"The user interface can be improved."
"Support could be faster."
"It's good at creating information, it's good creating dashboards, it's good at creating reports, but if you want to take that reporting metadata and put it into another tool, that is a little bit lacking."
"Though the solution's technical support is responsive, they do take a lot of time, making it one of the solution's shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management."
