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 solution is highly stable."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"One of the features that I feel is groundbreaking, that I would like to see expanded on, is the IAS feature: The Interactive Application Security Testing module that gets loaded onto an application on a server, for more in-depth, granular findings. I think that is really neat. I haven't seen a lot of competitors doing that."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are not bad."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"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 authentication scan is not working."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"The solution needs to improve its vulnerability design to include CVC results."
"I would like to see more integration."
"Rapid7 InsightVM, has impressive capabilities, especially when it comes to managing video equipment. However, we've noticed that Rapid7 also offers a cloud solution called CloudSec, and we don't have that. We think it would be better if InsightVM had all the features for both on-premise and cloud management."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
