Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Wiz, Check Point Software Technologies and others in Vulnerability Management."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."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"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."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"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 is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"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."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"Integration into other tools is very limited for Acunetix. While we're trying to incorporate a CI/CD process where we're integrating with JIRA and we're integrating with Jenkins and Chef, it becomes problematic. Other tools give you a high integration capability to connect into different solutions that you may already have, like JIRA."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
