Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"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."
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"It can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated with other applications, which makes it a very versatile solution to have."
"The tool's most valuable feature is performance."
"Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."
"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 is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"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."
"The solution can be improved by adding the ability to scan subdomains automatically, and by providing reports that can be exported to external databases to share with other solutions."
"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."
"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 pricing is a bit on the higher side."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
