Quotes from Members

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

"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
 

Cons

"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"It should be easier to recreate something manually, with the manual tool, because Acunetix is an automatic tool. If it finds something, it should be easier to manually replicate it. Sometimes you don't get the raw data from the input and output, so that could be improved."
"I rate its stability six out of ten."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"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 was an issue related to updates from the internet."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"All things considered, I think it has a good price/value ratio."
"The solution is expensive."
"Acunetix was around the same price as all the other vendors we looked at, nothing special."
"The pricing is a little high, and moreover, it's kind of domain-based."
"Implementing Acunetix needs a medium or larger business agency, because you need some money to get Acunetix. It is costly, but if you care about your agency's security, then maybe it's a cost that might help you in the future."
"The costs aren't very expensive. It costs around $3000 or $4000."
"The price is exceptionally high."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
