We performed a comparison between Acunetix and Checkmarx One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DevSecOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"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."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"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."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours."
"The solution allows us to create custom rules for code checks."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The solution improved the efficiency of our code security reviews. It helps tremendously because it finds hundreds of potential problems sometimes."
"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."
"The most valuable feature is that it actually identifies the different criteria you can set to meet whatever standards you're trying to get your system accredited for."
"We use the solution for dynamic application testing."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"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."
"You can't actually change your password after you've set it unless you go back into the administration account and you change it there. Thus, if you're locked out and don't remember your password, that's a thing."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The only problem that they have is the price. It is a bit expensive, and you cannot change the number of applications for the whole year."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service."
"Some of the descriptions were found to be missing or were not as elaborate as compared to other descriptions. Although, they could be found across various standard sources but it would save a lot of time for developers, if this was fixed."
"Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform."
"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"
