Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

Acunetix and Claroty Platform are competitors in the cybersecurity and vulnerability management sector. Based on the analysis, Acunetix has an edge in application security testing and integration speed, while Claroty is stronger in industrial control systems protection.

Features: Acunetix offers Interactive Application Security Testing, automated scanners, and customizable scan configurations. It provides comprehensive reporting and detects a wide range of vulnerabilities with speed and scalability through cloud integration. Claroty Platform focuses on continuous threat detection, vulnerability management, and asset discovery, specializing in industrial control systems and operational technology environments.

Room for Improvement: Acunetix could improve its interactive application security features, lower false positives, and enhance reporting and pricing models. Claroty Platform should work on pricing acceptability, improve its graphical user interface, and boost threat detection capabilities.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Acunetix supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments with mixed feedback on technical support. Its customer service typically responds within 24 hours. Claroty Platform primarily offers on-premises deployment with a traditional ticket-based support system, where support is seen as responsive but depends on resellers for interaction.

Pricing and ROI: Acunetix's pricing has increased, which has affected its cost-effectiveness, but continues to deliver ROI through vulnerability detection. Claroty Platform is deemed expensive, especially the software version, though cost-effective for physical device licensing, with ROI being challenging to quantify.

Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Has enabled teams to improve security testing with smooth integration and high accuracy

Acunetix has a very good ratio of fewer false positives, so users don't need to retest everything. Acunetix operates smoothly with no interruptions required, and it performs at 100% efficiency without issues in scanning anything. The solution is excellent at detecting SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Acunetix integrates with every type of tool, including CI/CD tools, offering 100% integration in DevOps environments. The main benefit of Acunetix is that at the first level, users can address security issues related to penetration testing, allowing them to expose vulnerabilities and ensure all required testing is completed with very few false positives.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"The solution is highly stable."

"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."

"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."

"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."

"Acunetix is the best service in the world. It is easy to manage. It gives a lot of information to the users to see and identify problems in their site or applications. It works very well."

"The solution is excellent at detecting SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities."

"I find it to be one of the most comprehensive tools, with support for manual intervention."

"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."

More Acunetix pros

"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."

"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the map, which shows everything that is connected and communicates with each other."

"Their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments."

"I like how the tool does passive and active discovery and threat detection and shows risks, recommendations, and vulnerabilities. It gives risk scores and gathers everything in one place - IP, device name, etc. We can integrate it with other tools for overall network mapping. It's useful for audits, compliance, and monitoring of all devices in the industry. It provides both monitoring and control. We also have SRA for incident response, which lets us search all alerts if we deploy the Claroty Platform."

"The platform ensures security without imposing significant delays."

"Claroty identifies all vulnerabilities available in our environment."

"Claroty assigns a score based on how well you are doing in the course. If you skip a video, your score decreases, making it essential to watch the content attentively."

More Claroty Platform pros

Cons

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."

"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."

"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 is generally stable, however, there might be room for improvement regarding glitches or bugs."

"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."

"There was an issue related to updates from the internet."

"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."

"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."

"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."

More Acunetix cons

"The product could be improved in terms of user interface design."

"Introducing an AI chatbot to assist you when you have doubts could be beneficial."

"The graphical user interface is quite poor."

"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."

"The Claroty Platform becomes too noisy when it gives numerous CVEs related to vendor match. Sometimes, these CVEs are not actually related to the device in the firmware at the site."

"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."

"Claroty Platform could improve the pricing to get more acceptability in the market."

"For improvement, I think the training could be more practical. We have external training, but they're mostly theoretical. I want the solution to provide hands-on lab experience to help users learn better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The costs aren't very expensive. It costs around $3000 or $4000."

"The solution is expensive."

"When compared with other products, the pricing is a little bit high. But it gives value for the price. It serves the purpose and is worthwhile for the price we pay."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable to a point. In order to run multiple scans at a time, we are going to have to purchase a 100 count license, which is an overkill. Though, compared to what we were paying for, the cost seems reasonable."

"When we looked at all other vendors and what they were asking for, to provide a third of what Acunetix was capable of doing, it was an easy decision... But now that it's coming to a cost where it's line with market value, it becomes more of a competition... Acunetix is raising the cost of licensing. It's 3.5 times what we were initially quoted."

"The pricing is a little high, and moreover, it's kind of domain-based."

"Acunetix was around the same price as all the other vendors we looked at, nothing special."

"It is a bit expensive. If you need to check five applications, you have to pay almost 14,000. It is an agreement for two years at 7,000 per year for only five applications. You cannot change the applications in the license. So, you are stuck with the same license for the five applications for one full year."

More Acunetix pricing and cost advice

"The tool is quite expensive."

"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."

"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."
