"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."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"We are able to create a report which shows the PCI DSS scoring and share it with the application teams. Then, they can correlate and see exactly what they need to fix, and why."
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature."
"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."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"I like that you can use GitLab as a double-sided solution for both DevOps and version management. It's a good product for working in these two areas, and the user interface makes it easy to understand."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"It speeds up our development, it's faster, safer, and more convenient."
"GitLab's best features are continuous integration and fast deployment."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"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."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"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."
"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."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"We would like to generate document pages from the sources."
"The documentation could be improved to help newcomers better understand things like creating new branches."
"It is a little complex to set up the pipelines within the solution."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."
"I rate the support from GitLab a four out of five."
