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."I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours."
"The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"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."
"The most important feature is that it's a web-based graphical user interface. That is a great addition. Also, the ability to schedule scans is great."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"This solution is much more user-friendly than past solutions I have used."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"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."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"There was functionality present previously, however, currently, we can't integrate directly with Jira Service Desk - only the cloud version."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"I would like to see more integration."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"The reporting could be better."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
