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."The automated approach to these repetitive discovery attempts would take days to do manually and therefore it helps reduce the time needed to do an assessment."
"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."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"We are able to create a report which shows the PCI DSS scoring and share it with the application teams. Then, they can correlate and see exactly what they need to fix, and why."
"The product is easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."
"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"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."
"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."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."
"The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."
