We performed a comparison between Acunetix and GitHub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"We use GitHub instead of our regular shared drive. It offers instant access to shared folders as well as good security."
"We are finding GitHub is very stable."
"I'm able to access any repository that I like, whether it's public or private."
"Any complex banking can be handled very easily in GitHub. It allows us to integrate with tools like Grid, where we can merge and resolve conflicts without any hassle."
"The product has a good UI. It's simple and easy to access, and technical help is easily available. The two-factor authentication security is another valuable feature."
"GitHub is pure or open-source; you can access it anywhere. You can have a lot of collateral information. You can make the changes and do the reviews from one place."
"Complication free with good ability for third-party integrations."
"We have had issues during upgrades where their scans worked on some apps better with previous versions. Then, we had to work with their tech support, who were great, to get it fixed for the next version."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"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."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"They're improving the work items to track the progress of the team, but in my experience, Azure DevOps is better in this functionality. GitHub needs to improve the form to track the progress of the work done by a team."
"The only thing I see missing in GitHub is that it isn't very user friendly for key personnel who don't have in-depth, technical knowledge. In Jira, there are many functions to upload our test cases, and in GitHub we can only do it manually. There are functions which can be used to upload different files, but that still requires some technical knowledge. A layman cannot do it."
"GitHub storage is one of the main requirements and it could improve."
"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."
"It would be good if there were training materials for junior developers."
"If it had all of the end-to-end integration, then we probably wouldn't have any doubts about what we have installed. However, at this point, we're still trying to figure out how to use it end-to-end."
"From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile."
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
