It saves a significant amount of time by covering attack surfaces.
I have seen a return on investment, as Acunetix helps reduce the man-days and effort needed for scanning bulk applications through automated assessments.
Overall, between the fast scanning, automation, automatic reporting, and easy detection, it has reduced manual effort enough that we did not need an extra reviewer, even as our codebase or team size grew.
Based on my interactions with the clients, I can tell that there is a return on investment because if something is not profitable and it's not helping to save costs or vulnerabilities, clients wouldn't come back to renew their license year after year.
For high-severity issues, they reach out within two to three hours, and for critical issues, a response is received within 15 minutes.
The technical support from Invicti is very good and fast.
Support staff not being familiar with the problem.
If you raise a support case with Checkmarx, it is handled smoothly.
The customer support team is amazing and they provide on-phone call, email support, and on-website support.
I have relied on Checkmarx One customer support hundreds of times for several things, and Checkmarx One support is very proactive and very responsive.
Veracode provides excellent assistance and regularly scheduled calls to address customer concerns and updates.
There is still room for improvement when it comes to the speed of response.
Acunetix can handle increasing workloads and more applications easily.
Approximately four billion lines of code are being scanned monthly.
Since it is cloud-based, the infrastructure and PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS are taken care of by the cloud marketplace.
Checkmarx One's scalability has changed my organization because the strong collaboration between the development and security team helps us to do things much faster.
I would rate the stability of this solution a nine on a scale of 1 to 10 where one is low stability and 10 is high.
Checkmarx One is often down when the cloud provider experiences issues.
Since we've been using HCL AppScan for about three months, we really have not encountered a false positive.
The main concern is related to false positives; Acunetix needs to work on identifying valid and invalid findings.
I could supply it with maybe a Swagger file or a JSON file, and Acunetix would pick it up, scan all the endpoints according to the OWASP Top Ten, and give me remediation and actionable remediation reports.
Acunetix should have better integration with newer tools such as GitHub and Azure DevOps.
Integration into the IDE being used would be beneficial so that code does not need to be uploaded to the website and an IDE-friendly report could be generated.
It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from.
If you can improve the speed optimization, it takes around 30 to 40 minutes for checking a build. If you can make it within five minutes or 10 minutes, that would be great.
If I'm scanning a web application, it shows me the various components being used. It tells me whether I have Java libraries, .NET frameworks, or other log management libraries such as Log4j, and what versions of those specific components are present.
The pricing cost is affordable for small and mid-sized organizations, and when compared to Checkmarx, it is significantly affordable, as Checkmarx is quite expensive.
We secured a special licensing model for penetration testing companies, which is cost-effective.
The pricing of Acunetix is pretty expensive and could be improved.
For a small team under 50 developers, normal expenses come under 30 to 60K.
Due to the number of years I've implemented Checkmarx One, there are rebates and discounts from the OEM which makes it a lot more profitable.
The pricing should be reasonable, matching what we are paying for.
Companies often choose based on budget constraints, with Veracode being on the higher end cost-wise.
Its most valuable role is in enhancing security by identifying potential vulnerabilities efficiently.
The solution is excellent at detecting SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
The best feature Acunetix offers is the centralized dashboard and the quality of reports it generates, which includes various options for selecting reports and developer options for directly sharing the reports with developers.
Since replacing the previous tool, SAST and SCA scans are conducted in a couple of minutes instead of hours or days.
The best features Checkmarx One offers, over the past years, include broad language and technical support that Checkmarx provides, covering most languages.
Checkmarx One has positively impacted our organization as we tend to find vulnerabilities very early in the development cycle.
AppScan's most valuable features include its ability to identify vulnerabilities accurately, provide detailed remediation steps, and the newly introduced AI-powered features that enhance its functionality further.
I have utilized its interactive application security testing, as well as both static application security testing, dynamic application security testing, and IAST.
