"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"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."
"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."
"Tenable Nessus is one of the best vulnerability assessment tools, that I know."
"With the Tenable Nessus enterprise edition, you have unlimited licenses to scan the device."
"I have found the vulnerability assessment and the reports to be useful."
"Tenable Nessus is cheap and flexible."
"Out of the box, the product works well for us, so it's not a tool that we need to customize very much."
"User friendly and good dashboards."
"It is easy to deploy and easy to use. Its reporting is good. From this reporting, you can see the pain point in your network, which makes it easy to fix them. It is easy to understand the reports and export them."
"Ease of reviewing scores, identifying vulnerabilities, and getting information on them."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"I had some issues with the JSON parameters where it found some strange vulnerabilities, but it didn't alert the person using it or me about these vulnerabilities, e.g., an error for SQL injection."
"The jargon used makes it difficult for project managers to understand the issues, and the technical explanations used make it difficult for developers to understand issues. These things should be simplified much more. That would be very helpful for us when explaining to them what needs to be fixed. The report output needs to be simplified."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its reporting portion."
"We'd like to see more integration potential within the solution."
"The reporting is a bit cumbersome."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with different vendors' IPS solutions. The ACLs and IPS policies signatures should be enabled based on the results of Tenable Nessus automatically, we currently have to do it manually which is very time-consuming. It has done a good job integrating with Fortinet but we would like it to be better integrated with other solutions that we have."
"Tenable Nessus is not feasible for a large company."
"Tenable Nessus application device assessment is one of the top tools. However, in the application security assessment, there are other tools that provide better, and more accurate findings."
"The inventory management function in this solution needs improvement."
"The report for counters is too simple and would be improved by a dashboard."
