We performed a comparison between Acunetix and GitLab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"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 vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities."
"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."
"GitLab's best features are maintenance, branch integration, and development infrastructure."
"I like that you can use GitLab as a double-sided solution for both DevOps and version management. It's a good product for working in these two areas, and the user interface makes it easy to understand."
"The solution is stable."
"It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient."
"I find the features and version control history to be most valuable for our development workflow. These aspects provide us with a clear view of changes and help us manage requests efficiently."
"We're only using the basic features of GitLab and haven't used any advanced features. The solution works fine, so that's what we like about GitLab. We're party using GitHub and GitLab. We have a GitHub server, while we use GitLab locally or only within our team, and it works okay. We don't have any significant problems with the solution. We also found the straightforward setup, stability, and scalability of GitLab valuable."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"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."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"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 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."
"Integration into other tools is very limited for Acunetix. While we're trying to incorporate a CI/CD process where we're integrating with JIRA and we're integrating with Jenkins and Chef, it becomes problematic. Other tools give you a high integration capability to connect into different solutions that you may already have, like JIRA."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"The solution should be more cloud-native and have more cloud-native capabilities and features."
"I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"We'd like to see better integration with the Atlassian ecosystem."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
"The documentation could be improved to help newcomers better understand things like creating new branches."
