We performed a comparison between Acunetix and Qualys VMDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"The solution is highly stable."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"The usability and overall scan results are good."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."
"It's really beneficial for scanning and interacting with the agent."
"Detects new hosts along with vulnerabilities."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"It is very easy to use and there are lots of options. We can usually easily go through it and all of the things we want to configure, and we can configure everything to our specifications very easily."
"Technical support is great and we've never really had a problem."
"There are fewer false positives when using this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"Tech support is helpful."
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"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."
"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."
"The reporting in this solution can be improved."
"Improve the user interface."
"The IoT scan is not great."
"Qualys VM's scanner doesn't pick up every vulnerability, so we have to use multiple scanners to cover that gap."
"I would like to see this solution simplified to work more easily in a multi-cloud environment."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
